started after many circulating coins, including $20 gold pieces, were found to be short of the prescribed weight The loss seemed to be more than is usual when coins are worn off from frequent handling They are suspi- cious that coins have been reduced in weight by the stripping process. in which they are dipped for an hour or two in aqua regia, a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids, into which an electric current is turned. When the electric power and the strength of the acids are fixed in the proper relation to the weight of the coins treated, 1t Is believed the metal is 'sweated" off the surface of the coins so smoothly that they are not changed in appear ance
 Valuable quantities of the precious metals have been obtained criminally, It is suspected, through the stripping of many coins. The detached metal clings to receiving plate, from which 1t is readily collected by the strippers, who have no difficulty in selling 1t for
 cash to jewellers or even to the gov ernment, since there is no suspicion
 of the method by which it was ob- tained. The coins are passed into cir
 culation at their face value. Coins also have been stripped, it is sus. pected. by using them for short inter- vals in electroplating tanks.
 Many coins that have been offered for deposit at banks recently have the designs brought out more sharply than
 is natural It is supposed that these
 coins have been stripped and were left In the acid bath too long. But even in these coins the untrained eve would see no sign of mutilation. One of the largest electroplaters said that shippers could take as much as a pennyweight of gold, worth more than dollar, from @ S20 gold piece with. out making any easily perceptible change. There is no risk of loss in damaging gold coins, because if the acid should eat too much or rougben the surface the entire coin may he | melted up and the metal sold for an amount equal to the value of the coin

even ii he be caught with the colns in solution nothing is proved, as he can say that he intends to use the coins, instead of bullion, for plating, and will not try to pass them as money. There is no law against dis solving or melting coins, provided they are destroyed as currency. and many jewellers fuse gold coins instead of go- ing to the trouble of getting bullion for the purpose. None of the estab- lished electroplaters is suspected of being engaged in the illegitimate prac- tice. It is supposed that temporary plants are put up by shippers in se- cluded lofts of factory buildings. as little equipment is required,
 The fad for Lincoln pennies in jew elry received attention because a gold plated penny might be mistaken for a five-dollar gold piece. It was re- called that when the five-cent nickels were first used they did not have the word cent" on them. Many such coins were plated with gold and passed on ignorant immigrants as five-dollar gold pieces.
 The secret service men who in ouired here as to the use of the gold plated pennies made no objection to such plating. Jewellers have made inuuiries of the authorities here and in Washington, and have been in formed that the law as to mutilation of coins applies only to gold and sill yer coins. Besides, pennies are made more valuable by gold plating
 In certain western cities, it Is re- ported, the federal authorities have prohibited manufacturers of jewelry from plating Lincoln pennies with gold. That is held to account for an increased demand on the manufactur- CTS here who make the pennies into scarf pins, brooches and other arti- cles.
