SMALL COINS IN DEMAND
FOR THE HOLIDAY TRADE
Treasury Finds the Call This Year Is
Greater Than Ever
Before.

For the holiday trade every year at
this time there is a great demand for
subsidiary coin, small gold pieces and
small denominations of paper currency.
The Treasury of the United States finds
the call this year greater than normal.
The director of the mint reports that
the Philadelphia mint is $4,000 behind
in orders for dimes. The deputy assist
ant treasurer of the United States re-
ports that not only is there n great
demand for dimes, but that orders for
quarters of a dollar are increasing be
yond expectation. and that the quarter
eagle-the $3.50 gold piece-is also
wanted in large Quantities.
This means that the mIntS in attempt
to keep up with current demand Tor
subsidiary coin will not be able to put
out the newly designed quarters and
half dollars tor the Christmas holiday
trade hoped There seems no
possibility to keep up with the unpre-
cedented demand and provide Il surplus,
as would be the coinage Of tins new
money.
The dies for these new coins have
been made But it is doubtful If thev
will be in circulation before the first of
the year.
