National MINIS
Break Records
in Coin Output

DENVER, Colo UH You
may not have noticed it from
the weight of your pocketbook,
but Uncle Sam is putting coins
into circulation faster than at
any time in history.
The man who says so is Moses
f. Smith, director of the Denver
mint.
Altogether, the minis at Den
yer, San Francisco and Phila-
delphia have turned out more
than 3,000,000,000 coins within
the past year. That's about
l,000,000,000 more than ever
before were turned out in a
single year.
Here at Denver, the biggest
increase has been in the loWly
penny. More than 100000 of
them are leaving this one mint
every "a hours. On the other
hand, the silver dollar also is
enjoying a big increase in de-
mand, with some 100000 of
them being made at Denver in
the fiscal year ended June 80.
In between the penny and the
"cartWheel," there also was a
lively demand for nickels and
dimes.
There's another interesting
bit of information about the
penny, also, in case you're one
of those people who never cot
toned up to the steel penny that
started circulating when the
war made copper hard TO get.
None of these steel pennies
has been made since Jan. |, and
Uncle Sam is dealing with cop
pcrs once more.
But, says Smith-"those steel
pennies probably will be in cir
culation for the next 100 years"
Before the various minis re-
turned TO the making of copper
pennies they had put about
S7,000,000 worth of the steel
coins into circulation.
