Miniufiicliirf. i
Notwithstanding the rumpusi railed by the
disputing friends of ROM ) d silver , the
most useful ann hard-working member of the
coin family Is of neither of th > e matcrlaU.
It ceDHlsts of 93 per cent of copper and 5
per c nt tin and zinc , and hears on Its face
the K'Kond "one cent. " The r : o of the
coat to this poa'.tlru of supremacy hag been
rapidly going on the past few years. It
docsn t require a jieison of advanced ago or
long memory to recall the time when tbo
liuintUcaln wis practically unknown west
of the tls8ll > ljlppl. Now Its use ls wull-nlgh
unlvrrcsl. ard the demar.d for U U Increas
ing eo rapidly tint the Philadelphia mint U
compelled to turn out one-cent pieces at the
rate cf nearly 4.000,000 per month to keep up
( he aurply. According to the eit mate of tbo
director of the mint , there are at present
omctl l.g : Ilka 1,000,000,000 pennies In cir
culation , engaged In earning on the email
buslueis of the country.
Two recent devices have been largely re
sponsible for the lacreased use of our only
copper coin. Ono U the pcony-ln-the-slot
machine which has spread over the land
Ilko the locusts of Egypt within the past
two or three years. A single automatic ma-
chlno company In New York city takes In
half a million pennies a day. As there lun't
a crossroads village In the country that
hasn't a chewing gum , klnetoscope , music
or weighing machine operated In ( his way
tbo number of coins required to keep them
nil going Is enormous. The other Invention
responsible for the rii'o of the cent Is the
"baiguln counter. " The craze for -J'J-cent
snd 99-ccnt bargains makes work for n lot
of pennies. Superintendent Mllman of the
New York subtreasury said the other day
that It was Hi unusual thing for one of
the great department stores which make a
specialty of "bargains" to take $10,000 worth
of cents 1,000,000 pieces at a lime. The
penny netvspapeis and In some places three-
cent street car fares have also Increased
the Held of operations of tbo one-cent ) piece.
"The cent la really the most Interesting
and least known of our coins , " said Mr. Mil-
man , "and there are some very curious
facts about It. Thu subtreasury la the clearIng -
Ing house for the pennies In circulation In
Ilio metropolitan district , and the penny Is
for us a barometer , a calendar and an ac
curate Index cf business conditions ,
TUB CBNT AS A HAHOMKTER.
"Why , In the middle of July there nas
a week or more of cold , rainy weather , and
the fcupply of pennies coming In fn exchange
Into larger denominations fell off one-third.
A htav ) sorm or the sudden coming of
cold weather , anything that keeps the penny-
tpzndlng part of our population at home , Is
accurately reflected In the falling off In the
aupply of cents coming to u * for exchange.
All through the summer the pennies ac
cumulate on our lunds , but when cold weather
comes and the children get back to school ,
and retail trade mlvcs , there Is a g wt de
mand for them. At present the minor cotu
division has tens of thousands of dollars'
worth of pennies on hand , but they are be
ginning to go out , and by November 1 we
shall probably be compelled 10 call on the
mint for a fresh aupply. The holidays de
mand a lot of peanleo , And with the approach.
of Chrlstmaa our cent pile meits away amaz
ingly ,
"There Is no better Indication of lively
trade conditions than the cent. During
periods of dullness they always accumulate
on our hands , but when trade revives they
begin to circulate rapidly again.
"They cotno to us from the slot machine
companies , the newspzc > er offices and the
street railways , and they go out to the de
partment stores , the toy and confectionery
shops and the small trader gene-ally. Of
couee , some of them come and go through the
banks ,
MOUNTAINS OF PENNIES.
"Come this way. " said Mr. Mllman , "If
you want to tee the way wo handle pennies , "
end he led the way to the minor coin division ,
where half a doen clerks were busily at
work. In one corner of the room was a stack
of canvas bags reaching nearly to the celling
and making a good-sized pyramid. "Those
are all pennies , " Mid the director. "I sup
pose the o are earns 100,000.000 pieces there ,
and we have more below. " In another corner
or the room was a etacK of loc-so coins piled
high above the beads of the clerks , who were
btrjly counting them , off Into the canvas
bags. The pennies are kept In bags of
1.000 each , and -when they come In they are
all counted over. An express wagon drew
up at the door , and behind Its grated door
could be seen the canvas bags piled high.
"There's a sample lot of halt a million or
EO from the elot machine company , " said
the B.ue'lntendcnt , "and here's a boy with
a hundred-dollar bill who will get ten baga
of pennies fcr It. That's the way they
come and go , Talk about the volume of
currency affecting builnpsi , I wonder what
tome kinds of business would do If wo locked
up just what pennies wo have on hand and
didn't allow them to go out. If somebody
sh-u'd corner the penny market people would
realize what a highly Important coin It Is ,
for the reason that there Is no cubstltute
for It. "
PAVOniTB WITH COUNTERFEITERS.
Nine out of ten persons would say that
the cent la the last coin a counterfeiter would
thl&lc ot tot reproduction. As a matter of
fact It is something or a UVorltc with this
gentry. There arc several reasons for this.
No counterfeit Is ever perfect , and a cent
can bo passed with some plight Imperfection
where a similar fraud ln r ! rger coin would
mean detection. When a can receives a
cent In change bo doean'JL , ' xainlne It as a
rule , but a silver dollar he I'lll scan closely
to see If It Is spurious. fl\ n , too , there Is
about as much profit In counterfeiting cents ,
considering the labor of ( producing them , as
there Is In the larger olnp. A pound of
copper costs 11 cents and contains material
for over 100 pieces , Evfn allowing for the
labor .Involved , this leavca a Rood margin for
profit. During a part of the past summer
the various uubtreasurtca have received as
high as $3 or { 4 per day IB , , purlous cents.
As fast as they come In tliey are split In
two and the mutilated plcce-i returned to the
owners. The counterfeiting of 1-cent pieces
has recently reached such proportions that
the United States secret JtrvlcoIs now en
gaged In trying to trace out the gang of
counterfeiters that Is doing this work ,
Thcro are several uutquol features about
the coinage of pennies , and the work Is man
aged In a somewba ( different fashion from
the turning out of sold and silver coins ,
In the. first place , although the United
States government Is the only authority
entitled to Indulge In the manufacture of
coins , our Undo Samuel does not prepare the
blanks from which pennies are made. < He
finds It cheaper to let out thb work by con
tract than to do U himself , and It Is at
present In the hands ot a Cincinnati flrm.
They prepare the copper blanks .In sheets
Urge enough tO'turn oul 100 pieces "each. It
la not known exactly how much the govern
ment r ys for these blanks , but the price Is
In the vicinity of $1.25 per 1,000. or a trifle
over 1 mill fo'r each unstamped cent.
In the disparity between the real nd face
value of the cent there U considerable profit
for the government for the reason 'that ' a
great proportion of the pc.inles coined will
never be presented for final redemption , An
enormous cumber of ctota are lost In one
way or another every year. They work their
way into the towers or the ground , children
place them on railway tricks to be flattened
out or otherwise mutilated so that they will
not pass current. One hundred thousand
per year Is a small estimate of the loss In
this way. Another source of profit for the
government Is In the recolnage of old pieces ,
which were all larger and Intrinsically more
valuable than these now In use. In the three
years 1S94-9C the gain from recolnlng old
copper cents , three-cent and two-cent pieces
Into current pennies and nickels was ? S7-
653.39.
HOW CENTS ARE COINED.
When the copper sheets ready for stampIng -
Ing reach the Philadelphia mint , where all
our minor coins are made , each one Is tested
to ceo that the alloy U In the right proportion
tion , Thence they pass directly to the coinIng -
Ing room. Hero the sheets are cut Into
strlpa , from which the round blanks , called
"planchets , " are punched , and tlieie are run
directly through the stamping machines ,
where they receive the Impressions from the
dies.
dies.Tho
The stamping machine consists of a heavy
cast Iron arch above a email round table
at which the operator sits , A nearly round
brass plate called a "triangle" Is fastened
by a "knee" Joint to the lever of the arch.
This triangle holds the die which Is forced
down on the blanks and leaves the Impres
sion. The brass blanks or "planchcls" drop
through a hollow tube upon feeders which
carry them bont-ath the dies. Any Imperfect
pieces are rejected by the woman operators ,
who acquire wonderful dexterity In detecting
them.
From 4he stamp the coins go to an auto
matic weighing machine , This Intelligent
piece of mechanism a German Invention
perfected by a former director of the mint-
throws out all pieces that are above or below
the required weight , and an electric alarm
attached to It warns the operator In case
two coins try to pass Into the receptacle
at once. The pieces of correct weight pass
on to the counting room and the others
are sent back to be recast.
I'cnnk-s are not counted by the laborious
process of handling each piece , but by a
device known as the "counting board , " by
which COO are counu-3 at a time. The count.
Ing board Is -Inclined piano with columns
the exact width of a rent separated by copper
partitions In height exactly equal to the
thickness of the coin. The cents arc spread
over this board and fall Into the grooves
prepared for them , all surplus coins falling
off Intu a trough. Then the counting board
la emptied Into the canvas bags , which are
carted away to bo shipped to any part of
the country.
The figures of distribution kept by the mint
