NEW DOLLAR WILL NOT STACK

Bank cashiers and poker players
are opposed to the beautiful new sill
yer Peace Dollar, which was placed
in circulation Wednesday. Everyone
else, except those who handle coins
most, are pleased with them.
1t is not the artistic sense of the
money-changer that is offended. He
thinks the new coin is an excellent
piece of art, but he objects, he SAYS,
because they will not stack.
This statement is true. Ten of
them when placed in pile, no mat
ter how carefully, have Jagged edges
and easily slip over. If twenty are
piled together the slightest jar of a
desk or a table will send them roll
ing and scattering, and both bank
employees and poker players dislike
to make change from the floor.
Bank officials who are used to
handling coins say that failure to
stack is due probably of Liberty on
one side, and also that the coin edge
on each face is smooth instead of
milled. In fact, the coin is slightly
concave, and one easily slips from an
other. ri
This is the second time new coins
have failed to stack firmly. When
the $40 gold pieces were first placed
in circulation a similar effect was
and new issue was made
which remedied the trouble. Since
then the first issue coins have greatly
increased in values and are sought by
collectors.
Many Of the new dollars were
shipped Wednesday from the Phila-
delphia Mint The coin has a grace
fully designed Liberty head on one
side, surmounted by sunburst corO-
net. On the other side is the American
Eagle, resting on a mountain top,
an olive branch as the first
rays of the rising sun strikes it. Be
heath the eagle is the word "Peace."
