Board to have sole right to issue currency; legal tender |
(3) For the purposes of this Act, a coin shall be deemed to have been illegally dealt with where the coin has been impaired, diminished, or lightened otherwise than by fair wear and tear, or has been defaced by having any name, word, device or number stamped or engraved thereon, whether the coin has or has not been thereby diminished or lightened. |
(4) In any criminal proceedings in which the genuineness of any currency note or coin may be in question, a certificate signed by the Deputy Chairman of the Board that he is satisfied by personal examination that such note or coin is or is not forged shall be held to be conclusive evidence of the same and neither the Deputy Chairman nor any officer of the Board shall be cross-examined with regard to the contents of such certificate unless the court otherwise orders.
