The MINr.-The United States have
three minis for he coinage of monev. One
at Philadelphia, one in North Carolina and
the other in New Orleans and although
the two latter were called mnts, YET
they may be more justly considered as
branches of the parent Institution at PhiIa-
delphia, established in that city almost im-
mediatey after the government was estab-
lished, The coming Of money is not gene
rally understood and the Philadelphia Chron
lcle has been at some pains to collect some
account Of the process, "Bullion is brought
to the Mini in every form; amalgamaiions
from the ore, bars, plate, jewelry, and for
egn coin. All these present a great vare-
ty as TO quality. The Assayer brings this
Heterogeneous mass into proper condition
and ineness for coming, and return the met
al in lngols or small bars
These bars, or ingois, ARE then annealIed
TO soften them for rolling; when they are
passed through the rolling machine, worked
by a steam engine, and come out long thin
slrips-of The width and thickness most con
venient for the use. In order TO reduce
these strips Of metal to their proper size for
the press, they are drawn through nicely grad
uated '.drawing dies In The next place,
they are passed through the cutting press,
which is also moved by steam, and pieces
of the true size are cut out. The punchmove
so rap dly that one hundred and sixty pie
ces, on an average, ale cut out in a minute.
The pieces thus prepared are next put into
the milling machine, in which the edge, to
afford protection to the surface of the coin,
is forced up. In this machine, one hundred
and twenty half dollars, or five hundred and
sixty half dimes, can be miled in minute.
The pic es OF metal thus prepared are then
tested, as 10 their weight, and. if found cor
rect, ate again softcned for the dies The
stamping machine is moved, also, by steam
power. The pieces are put into an inclined
tube at one side of the machine, from which
they reach the coming dies in regular order,
receive the impression, and fall into The box
helow-upon the opposite side--a perfect
coin, ready for circulation. The coming
presses are various sizes, 10 suit the various
denominations of coin The usual speed Of
striking is sixty pieces per minute for the
half dollar, seyenty-fise for the quarter, and
ninety for the dime. The Mint with few
additional hands, is competent 10 con len
