HOW One GIan Makes a Living In the Great
Metropolis


Metropolis.
New York Sun.
An old coin man visits the offices
the elevated railroad every few days to
purchase the worn and plugged coin
taken in at the stations, and refused at
the banks, as we'll as the foreign coin.
He also buys up the mudlated silver,
niCkles, and cOppers that are dropped
by absent-minded passengers into the
boxes. There are many persons who,
on getting their change with a ticket ct
the window Of the ticket Office, viii
careful y put the ticket in their pockets,
and will drop their change in the toll
collectors box. Some ladies drop their
pOcket-bOOks IN, while they hold their
ticket with great care. Inside Of each
box, there is a cylinder full of teeth, and
when q piece of coin gets into the re-
ceptacle below, it has two holes in il or
is clipped at the edges, Every day the
mass Of mutiIated tickets is Over-hauled
in the main Office before being sent into
the waste, and these coins are sifted out
From five to fifty dollars e day have
been picked out in this way. The mon
ey is so mutilated that it can not be
passed, and it is sold to the Old-COin
man for about seventy cents on the dol
lar.
This curious Spectator sometimes car
| r1es away $500 or 500 worth Of such
coin. He calls himself q money dress
/ er," q business which he insists is lust as
! Legitimate as that Of coffee poiisher. H."
or a dry goods dresser. He beats ont
the twisted and bruised coin, cleans the
solid copper, brightens the foreign coin.
and goes on his tour TO dispose of his
/ goods. The foreign money is sold TO
/ Inc stewards of foreign vessels, and the
! poor American coin is worked of ct the
cattle yards and sent ont west. Much Of
it finds its way into the hands of the
! cowboys, who spend it as freely as
though it was fresh from the mint. The
money dresser searches his purchases
very carefully, and occasionally finds an
old coin that pays him several hundred
! per cent. profit when resold to collectors
| of rare coins.
'Do you make a living in this wayf"
Indeed I do, and a very nice living
too"
