Mint Must Work
Overtime to Fill
Greater Demand

The United States Mint must
turn out at least l billion more
small coins this year than last
because of a sudden increase in
demand, Fred C. Scribner, jr.,
Undersecretary of the Treasury.
said yesterday.
Mr.. Scribnef said the need
for additional pennies and
dimes is particularly pressing.
Increases in the sales taxes
IN many States, he said, may
be responsible for some of the
demand for pennies. He added
that coin machines use a large
number of small coins and keep
them out of circulation longer
than would a Storekeeper.
Leland Howard, assistant di-
rector of the Mint, said Mint
employees will have to work
overtime this year to turn out
the additional coins.
However, he said the Gov
ernment makes money on pen
