MINIS Can't Make Money
Fast Enough For Citizens

Denver. Dec. 26-UP- Uncle
Sans troubles are the same as
those Of his nieces and nephews-
he os+ft-3aake money fast enough.
At least. that's the case at the
United States mint in Denver.
Orders for pennies. nickles and
dimes are pouring in so fast that
for the first time since the World
War the mint is unable to meet the
orders from the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington.
Men are at work night and day,
seven days a week-and have been
since last July-and the demand
still exceeds the supply.
The nations other mints-at
Philadelphia and San Francisco
apparently are having the same
trouble according to Marshall Red
dish, chief clerk at the Denver
mint.
Coin Need Expanding
Recently. we have been asked
TO ship coins TO other mint dis
tricts. which would indicate they
are hard pressed also. he said.
The mint is not tagging behind
demand seriously. according to
Reddish. who said it was "a few
thousand" dollars behind.
There are several factors which
mint officials consider responsible
for the increased demand. They
are:
The expanded national defense
program. increased use Of coin ma
chimes. Christmas shopping. the up
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1940-12-26

turn OF business and the increasing
number Of federal, state and county
taxes.
Orders Flow In
1T is hard to say just what lies
behind the present situation be-
cause Washington sometimes holds
up orders for new coins until the
mints are able 10 fill them Red
dish said.
If Washington is sending the
orders through as fast as 1t gets
them. that would indicate a de-
cided jump in the demand for coin.
II is possible, however. that the
orders We have received lately
may have been accumulating for
some time. The demand for coin
has been heavy since the outbreak
of the war" he said.
Mint production IN the past has
served as one OF the most accurate
barometers OF business conditions.
and its increase usually has been
accompanied by general upturn.
