Government officials who now
make money on a production
scale looked back through century,
old records today to the beginning OF
American coinage 143 year ago.
1t was in October, 1792-Treasury
history does not fix the exact date
that the first few hundred silver half
dimes were released by the Philadel-
phia mint. brave symbol of young
Nations efforts to perform for itself
the Government duties formerly ex-
ercised by England.
Now three mints, at Philadelphia
Denver and San Francisco, are operat-
ing at top speed, turning out small
change to meet what officials term
an unprecedented demand for minor
money.
The first half dimes - President
Washington said there was a want
of small coins in circulation
made entirely by hand,
And although electricity now oper-
etes the presses and stamping ma
chimes that make the Nations coins,
Treasury officials emphasized that
speeding up the process has not i'm
proved the workmanship
For that first small mint, the Gov
.ernment bought lot on which stood
an old distillery.
The first bulk metal purchased fol-
coinage was 6 pounds of old copper
cI,
in 1893. Silver was bought the neXt
year and on october Is. 1874, Moses
Brown. a Boston merchant, exchanged
gold ingots valued at S2,276.72 fol
silver coins
At present millions of dollars OF
gold and silver are pouring into the
mints. Gold no longer is coined, but
vast boards of it are held in the
Nations money factories.
