gress, which meets Dec. 5, will appro-
pirate the money necessary for the
improvements. Work of enlarging the
mint will begin as quickly as the
funds are provided.
The expansion of the Denver mint
Is made necessary through the tre-
mendous demand for small coins. par
ticularly pennies. The mint now is
working twentyfour hours day, in
cluding Sundays, and is turning out
on an average of 100000 pennies each
twenty four-hour period.
Improvements planned will enable
the mint to do twice the amount of
coinage. The plans call for the in
stallation of four more coinage
presses and the enlargement OF the
refining department. These improve
ments alone will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
That the money for the enlargement
Of the mint will be appropriated by
Congress seems a certainty. Senator
Shafroth, as a member of the Senate
appropriation committee, is backing
the improvement plans.
In addition, Director Baker, being
