JUST now It's difficult to circulate silver coins
which have been subjected to abrasion, and es-
pecially to those that have holes In them. The
number OF uncurrent silver coins in the treasury
Is enormous. of these there are: Three-cont
pieces, 81 ls9 ~; half-dimes 1851 63j; twenty
cent pieces SO 2g9 abraded and unfit for crcu-
lation, Si5,6j1.76. The accumulation OF abrGded
silver arises from the fact that there has been no
appropriation for their recoinage for the last two
fiscal years, and there Is no law fixing tho least
current weight silver coins or providing for
leir recoiring, as it is the case for gold coins,
And there is no method of disposing Of silver
coins so reduced in weight by natural abrasion
as to be unfit for circulation, though the treas
ury is required To redeem such coins under the
act OF congress OF July y 1879. The only practi'
cal disposition that can be made of these coins
is to send them to the mint for recoinage, in
vJlving discrepancy in the cash OF the treas
ury TO the amount equal to the loss upon their
recoinage, which discrepancy can be made good
only by nm appropriation asked for by the secre-
tlry CT the treasury
