Mint Makes Eight Million Pennies Daily; Want More Washington, Dec. 23—The big news at the U. S. Mint today is the nationwide rush for pennies. During the first 11 months of this year the mint ground out 799 million cents. It now works 11 hours a day, six days a week, making eight million pennies a day. And still the cry is; more more. William H. Brett, director of the mint, thinks Pennsylvania caused part of the penny prob lem. “They put in a new cigarette tax up there,” Brett said. “It meant that addiional pennies had to go in vending machines to make correct change. Last year we put 21 million cents into Phil adelphia. This year during the same period we put 64 million cents there. Same situation at Pittsburgh. Brett says no one has a full explanation of the penny prob lem. Last year, from Jan. 1 to Nov. 30, Federal Reserve banks delivered to private banks 295 million cents. This year, for a similar period, the demand was Cor 1,094,000 000 pennies. In spite of the demand, Brett insists there’s no real penny shortage. He cites the case of the New England bank that of fered to pay $1.05 for each $1 in pennies brought in counted and wrapped. “In no time,” Brett said, “they had so many pennies they had to call the whole thing off.” Most of the year, Brett said, the mint worried because it had too much coin on hand. “One person high up in gov- emment—I wish I could give you his name—wrote me and said that since the penny no longer will buy anything we might as well quit making them And look how things are now." Her* To Stay Since the cent appears to be here to stay, let’s look at a few facts, pennywise: Since the first one was made, in 1792, 23 billion ihave beon coppers, but actually they’re minted. Nobody knows, though, how many still are in circulation. They have been nicknamed bronzes, 95 per cent copper plus 5 per cent zinc and tin. The New York Times reports that employees of a metal refin ery weighed pennies and found they come 150 to the pound. The federal reserve bank said no, there are 133 to a pound. Ap parently the discrepancy came because the bank hefted new pennies, while the refinery boys weighed shop-worn veterans of many a piggy bank shaking. Not all coins are in great de mand. The mint has not turned out a silver dollar since 1935.
