PENNIES

II was said, a year or two ago, that
the humble penny was destined to go
out of circulation. If there is any such
tendency, II is not apparent in the
coinage figures for the past twelve
months
During that time the United States
mint has produced 7l4,OOO,OOO new
coins, of which 52S 100000 are one.
cent peices. This beats all records
for the total coinage and also for the
penny output.
The little old rcd cent looks small
er and humber than ever, when you
buy cigar or pay for pound of
meat. For that very reason, perhaps,
1t is appreciated more than before.
With prices SO high, people don't like
to waste even a copper counter whose
value is about 40 per cent nearer
nothing than it was two years ago.
AS for the nickel, 1t Is the very ap-
probation of that modest coin that
increases the demand for pennies.
