Dimes don’t buy what they did, either. And yet they, too, are often scarce and in great demand. It’s because we’re in a slot or vending machine *age, needing more metal coins. And there are only about as many coins per person now as there were at the turn of the cen tury before raoney-in-the-slot be came so dominant in our economy. The.sedate Federal Reserve bank ing system pleads with the kiddies I to empty, .their piggy banks and 1 bring in the pennies to help out the ( banking system, which can’t supply the demand. The L f . S. treasury, which is look ing for severs! billions of dollar* to make up an expected deffcit, Ukm time off to ask housewives, please, empty the sugarbowl of the penny hoard and take it to the bank.
