Increase in Pennies

Ninety million pennies are being
turned out of the United States
mints every month to meet the de-
mand for the "odd cent" sales caused
by the war taxes.
This average of 5000, 900 coppers
daily requires between 400 and 500
people in the various minis just to
count the pennies and put them in
packages for distribution. Practically
all of the work of the minis is now
being diverted to making pennies.
At the present rate, the output
bringing it down to fine points, is
about % bright, new pennies every
time the clock ticks. Plans are to
continue this large production for
