I do not see that US gold is known there; seems a tall tale.

they had their own silver coinage . . . .
of 600,000 $1 coins, they would be/have been all over; and what about their coinage ?
wear rubber boots if you visit (where the coins were sent from)

Jeff may be likened to a plow; he is turning the remnants, we are looking

On the face of it, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
The "Straits Settlements" were of Penang, Singapore, Malacca, and Dinding, a part of the territories controlled by the British East India Company
But why would we ship them gold?
