Coins shall, if they have not been illegally dealt with, continue to be legal tender in the Islands to an amount not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars in the case of coins of denomination of not less than five cents, and not exceeding fifty cents in the case of lower denominations.
For the purposes of this Law, 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.
