crop a complete failure.
American pockets are so full Of
silver that there will be no nickels,
dimes, quarters, or half-dollrrs coin
ed this year, r. e. Scobey, director
of the mint announces.
AS for pennies, only a paltry $780,
900 have been coined at the Denver
mint, as against $4,000 worth the
preceding year.
There have been approximately
$46,000.000 worth of pennies coined
since the mint began in 1892" said
Scobey, $50 what's the use Of max
ing more, when about the only
things you can still buy with a pen
ny nowadays are lollypops?"
This is the first time in l0S years
that half dollars have not been coin
ed; the first time in SO years that
no quarters have been coined; the
first time in 81 years that no dimes
have been coined; with the exception
of the year 1877, the first time in
81 years that no nickels have been
coined; and with the exception of
the years 1915 and 1923, the first
time since the beginning of the
mint in 1898, 1923 years ago, that so
few pennies have been coined.
This is the first year since 1905
that silver dollars have been coined.
In 1905, $8,S12,000 silver dollars
were coined. This year the order
is for $50,000.000, under the provi-
sions Of the Pittman act, which re.
quired that for every dollar melted
into bullion during the war to be
sent abroad as loan to our allies, a
new silver dollar would be coined
when the war was over. About $780,
100000 in $40 gold pieces will be
coined this year.

have been minted since the mint
started are:
