A man in an interurban car the 9TH
err day handeds the conductor dime
and received in change a nickel. He
glanced at it and explained: well
I'll be hanged.' Then he explained
to his companion.
This is the sixth time 1 have mad
this nickel given to me in the past two
months. l had bought die for stamp
ing my initials on metals and happened
to try it on this Nickel so that's how
happened to know it. 1 supposed that
a coin in circulation was likely to
travel all over the country, or the
world for that matter, but this partic-
ular coin seems to stick to MinneapO-
lis, and to make a speciality of riding
on the interurban line.
The frequency with which it turns
up caused me to make a little inquiry
about the circulation of nickels. Say
100, 900 persons ride on the streetcars
here in a day and each one pays 5
cents or in all 100000 nickels. In a
good many instances the conductor
did not receive a real nickel for fare.
A man hands him quarter and he
gives back two dimes and pockets an
imaginary nickel as result of the
transportation. Suppose 1 hand the
conductor 10 cents for our fares, and
you hand me a nickel. When he col
lects the second fare, you pay the
fares and [ give you back your nickel.
The nickel has practically been paid
twice to the conductor and still you
have it back in your possession.
"Supposing that the conductor col
lects nickel and gives it out in
change. 1t is paid back to him as a
second fare and again given out in
change to a man who comes back to
Minneapolis in the afternoon. He
hands it to the conductor and then it IS
paid out, taken in again and finally IS
back in the pocket of the man who
originally gave it to the conductor in
the morning.
"A street railway man told me that
the company does not bank 5000 nick

part of their deposits are in coins of

they keep on hand for change, and so
| they go back and forth.
Some nickels are working for the
street railway company as regularly as
! if they were on the pay roll. Most Of
them don't even get to the company's
headquarters. When a conductor turns
! in his cash at the end of his run, he
does it at the station he runs from, and
the count is made there to see if it cor
responds with the report on the outside
of the envelope When he starts out
again he receives certain amount of
money to make change with and a good
portion of this is nickels. Very like
ly he gets back some of the very nick
els he took in before on his next trip
out, and so a nickel may be doing duty
on the same line for quite a time.
ut may be given to another con-
ductor on another line, but he will pay
it back to the company and the COM
pany will send it back to the other

make a round trip on the interurban
line every day in the week. and that
gives me four chances a day Of meet
ing my nickel So it's not surprising
that it should come to me six times in
two months.
"Of course a man who is on his Way
to Seattle to ship for Japan might get
this nickel and take it to the orient, Or
it might get in child's savings bank
and retire from circulation until Christ
mas. but the chances are in favor OF
its staying in the twin cities and being
carried back and forth on the street
cars, for everybody rides and keeps
nickels for the purpose. A man gets
off a streetcar, goes into a saloon and
pays nickel for a glass of beer. The
nickel is paid out again a minute later
in change to another man VINO jumps
on a streetcar and pays it back to the
conductor. If man could mark coins
that he handles he would often find
that he is spending the same money
over and over again. Minneapolis
