Don Oakley U.S. Mint pleads for common 'cents' By Don Oakley In the past 15 years, the U.S. Bureau of the Mint has stamped out some 62 billion Lincoln cents. It is currently producing 35 million each day, almost twice as many as last year. Fully half this tremendous output, however something over 30 billion coins, the Mint estimates is not in actual circulation.

Thus the penny shortage which is a severe problem or inconvenience all over the country. Where are all these pennies hiding? According to Mint director Mary Brooks, billions of them are in dresser drawers, shoe boxes, pickle jars almost any place you can think of. An unknown number of others are believed to be in the hands of speculators. The reason for the latter is that in December, 1973, the Treasury announced that it would request legislation changing the penny from 95 per cent copper and 5 per cent zinc to an aluminum alloy. It was apparent that the steadily rising price of copper would eventually make the amount of metal in the penny worth more than the face value of.the coin.

Although there are stiff penalities for melting down pennies, they began vanishing by the tens of millions, just as silver coins vanished in the middle 1960s, even though the number of pennies that would have to be consumed to make any copper conversion operations worthwhile is staggering. For example, the market price of copper would have to go over $1.50 a pound (it is still well below that) to exceed the face value of a penny. At $1.50 a pound, 250,000 pennies, weighing 1,714 pounds and with a face value of $2,500, would be worth $2,571 as raw copper. The $71 profit would hardly pay for the energy needed to melt them down. But whatever the explanation, the penny shortage continues and the Treasury Department is appealing for the help of patriotic Americans.

It points out that just one billion pennies returned to circulation would save taxpayers $10 million. If 15 billion pennies were returned, the Mint would not have to make any more for almost two years and would save $150 million. To stimulate citizen participation, the Treasury is awarding Certificates of Special Citation to anyone who deposits or cashes $25 worth of pennies at a commercial bank. Banks should forward the names of persons or groups qualifying for the citation to: Mrs. Mary Brooks, Director of the Mint, 55 Mint Street, San Francisco, CA 94175.
