Intere ting Facts.

In our researches after correct data
upon which to base our figures as to
the quantity of gold in tho known
world, we made other discoveries par
TALLY now to us, and which wo think
will prove of interest to our readers.
We give tho same in the briofcst
manner possible
The one aud two cent coins now in
circulation, arc composed of copper,
50 per cent, and tin and zinc, 5 per
cent,
Tho throe and five cent coins arc
composed Of copper, rs per cent, and
nickel rs per cent.
The weight Of the 5 cert coin is
77.l6 grains, tho value of the nick ell
is $l.20 in gold and tho copper "a
cents in currency per III. The weight
of the cent piece is 30 grains the
cent So grains, and the | cent 48
grains, from which we readily deter.
minc that the value of the 5 cent coin
is $0.007S3, of the 3 cent SO, ,OO4G9,
the two cent $0.004l and of the |
o,nt, $0.00205. We may therefore
say that in round numbers, S cent
piece is worth nearly 8 mills, and that
70 Of them, or one dollar in face value,
are worth as metal less than l6 cents;
and that one hundred one cent coins
arc worth as metal 2O3 cents.
Now we want the Bullionists to
tell us what gives currency to these
pieces their intrinsic value, or the
stamp of the Government
From tho report of the Secretary of
the Treasury to the doth Congress, we
learn that the coinage of the U. S.
Mint fer 1868 was as follows
Gold coin, $ls,ll4,425
Gold bars, 6,026,8lO
Silver coin, l,l36,750
Nickel and copper, l,7l3,3e5
Supposing one half of the last item
were nickel coin and the other half
copper, we will readily discover that
the cost Of the former in metal is
$l37, ,070.80, and that the latter cost
in metal $l7l,388,5O, making Il total
of $3OS,40930. If we add for the
cost of coming so cents to each one
hundred dollars or $S,56692, We
have as the result of last years coin
age of nickel and copper alone. q pro.
fit to some one Of s 1896, ,4O7.7S.
Qnery 7 What has become of this
large sum : who can tell Z and turth-
ermore, when will these coins be re.
deemed, and where Gold is not
thus over valued in coming, but if it
were not for the stamp of the Govern
ment, it would not be legal tender,
even under our present laws, nor
would 1T pass current as money, at
anything near its coin value.-N. Y.
