The Old CoDpers.

What becomes of all the old copper"
coin? There are 1919, 800, Geo old copper
pennies somewhere. Nobody knows what
has become of them, except that once.
in a while a single specimen turns up
in change. A few years ago 1850, 900
bronze 2-cent pieces were set afoat,
Three million of them are still outstand-
ing. Three million 3-cent copper pieces
are scattered over the United States, but
it is very rarely that one is seen. Of
100000 half-cents, which correspond IL
value to English farthings, not one has
been returned to the government for
coinage or is held by the treasury. Con-
gress appropriates about 100000 year
ly for recoining the silver coins now in
possession of the treasury. These are
mostly half-dollars and are not circuIat-
ed because there is no demand for them.
Not long ago the stock of them amounted
to over $5,O0O,O0O but it is only about
half that now. The money set aside for
recoining is not intended to pay for the
cost of minting, but it is required to-
reimburse the treasury Of the United
States on account of the loss which sill
yer pieces have suffered by abrasion.
The loss amounts to $50 on every $1,000.
and it has to be made good in order
to set the treasurer's accounts straight

as to make threats that when the build
ings are done they will burn them down.
