BOARD TO COUNT PENNIES
Simple Contrivance Used by Gov ernment Employes for the
 Purpose.

A million pennies a day-that is the capacity of a strange machine which Uncle Sam uses in the Philadelphia mint to count the coin of smallest value made by the government. The machine. known as a counting table, is exhibited in the government build. ing as a part of Uncle Sans $500. .00O display at the Lewis and Clark expo sition.
 The counting board is about as large as big kneading board such as house wives use. The surface of it is wide enough to hold a TOW of 70 pennies. When the pennies are to be counted several thousand are heaped onto the board, which is placed above a hop per. Then an operator tips the board backward and forward and sideways, so that the pennies slide about and finally settle in the grooves made by the brass partition strips. When the board is full there are 1000 pennie; on 1t. It Is then dumped into a re csptacle just outside the hopper. and the pennies which have slipped of the board into the hopper are caught by a box beneath. Pennies are coined only at the Philadelphia mint. and the government finds the coining of them profitable. because the vslue of the metal they contain is only about three fourths of a cent
