COINAGE DIES.
Those of Last Years Date Being
Destroyed.

The steel dies for last years coinage are
being destroyed at the Mint. About twenty
at time are thrown into a forge and
heated until their color is cherry red.
They are then placed upon an anvil aud
given two cross diagonal blows with a
chisel and then struck with sledge-ham-
mer, which completely oDiterates all traces
Of the fine engraving. These precautions
are taken TO render the dies useless in the
hands of any one who might distract them
from the Mint vault
The last session of Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the recoinage of worn sub
sldiary coin in the Treasury. OF this
amount SIS, 900 still remains, which will be
used after the 18th inst. in the coinage Of
the new designs. The sum will be divided
between the MINIS at San Francisco, Phila-
delphia and New Orleans.
The appropriation was not made for the
mechanical expense of coinage, but TO cover
the shrinkage in value due to abrasion of
old coins. 1t is estimated that the sum will
cover the loss in about 100000 of silver
pieces
The work on these coins will keep the
MINIS busy for several weeks, and enough
pieces will be turned out to make people
familiar with the new coins. Half-dOlars
are not IN very great demand, so compare
lively few pieces of that denomination will
be coined, and the bulk of silver will be
used for quarters and dimes.
