LARGEST COINAGE OF PENNIES
 LAST YEAR IN HISTORY OF U. S.

To meet the greatest demand for pennies, the United States mint pro- duced S4,O25, ,7S5 pieces of the bronze coins last year.
 That was the largest coinage year in the history of the mint service, &C., cording to a report of Director of the Mint Baker, feature of the year be- ing the coinage of smaller demonina- tions.
 The number of coins minted for do- mestic circulation last year was 500,- 725, ,62s, valued at sS5, ,9oS.30. The highest previous record was in 1917, when S,5O5, ,563 pieces were struck.
 The increased circulation of pennies is attributed to the operation of the revenue law provision for the payment of penny taxes with theatre admis- sions, telephone taxes, and revenue stamps.
 In certain cities trolly car rides have increased to six cents, thus de- manding a large circulation of pen- nies.
 A shortage of pennies in one vest ern city caused one organization to is- sue paper penny certificates, redeem able for paper money when sufficient number accumulate.
 Over seventeen million coins for foreign countries were minted last year, Director Baker reports.
 The striking of 35,S40,050 pieces of metallic money for Central America and the Philippine Islands, and the preparations of 5O0,O00 gold and l. 1O1 PTS silver planchets for South American republic, Director Baker says, contributed to the making of a very active year.
