dinary is the demand for pennies that
the United States Mint here, despite
the fact that it is working twenty

day. There is also a corresponding
demand for other subsidiary coins.

objects of taxation and the annual
heavy demand for small coins for the
holidays. the shortage is expected to
become much greater.

faces a famine in pennies, and the
shortage has proved so embarrassing
tc Martin Vogel, assistant treasurer

circulation.
Ordinarily the Government carries
ten million pennies in stock at the
Subtreasury in Wall Street, but the
institution is now swept clear of it's
