According 10 Representative Hill Of
Connecticut, the demand for Subsidiary
coin Is Increasing at such "a rate that
within "a year the supply in the Treasury
will be exhausted. The present limit at
which dimes. quarters. and halves may
De coined is 500 100000 a year. In order
20 Obviate any shortage in subsidiary coin
Mr.. Hin would stop the further coinage
of silver dollars and make UP for the loss
by taking the limit OF subsidiary coinage.
He is quite confident that this will be
done. and therefore he has introduced a
bill for that purpose.
