What becomes of all the pennies? A
superficial answer might be that we spend
them, as in truth we do; but did you ever
stop to consider the enormous quantities
of the little copper coins turned out by
the Philadelphia Mint every year? The
figures are really appalling in their mag
nitude. There are at present about
1000, 900 cents in circulation, and yet
the mint is compelled to turn out nearly
100000 month to keep up the supply.
1t seems as though this most common coir
must in some mysterious fashion vanish
in thin air, for surely nobody boards them
