IT’S ALL MONEY
Many American coins rarely if ever
seen in circulation are still officially
outstanding in substantial quantity's.
Among these are $40,000 worth of
eopper-cent pieces made in the early
days of the country, more than $500.
000 worth of two-cent pieces, and
$655,000 worth of three-cert pieces,
they arc still of full face value—«n«l
sometimes more to coin collectors.
Many trade dollars--of the variety
btiued some forty years ago in a fu
tile effort to compete in the Orient
with the far-famed Mexican silver
dollar—have never coma back. They
were not of legal tender for mare than
$5, though when abandoned, a reason
able time was given for exchanging
them for standard silver dollars.
Those still extant are of only bullion
value, except perhaps to collectors.
likewise a substantial amount of
paper money is till officially rated
as “outstanding.” but is never expect
ed to return for redemption, ft is es
timated that 1 p«r cent of all paper
mo nicy is loot or destroyed, and, when
such happens the government profits.
This is the case even with national
bank notes.—The Nation’s Business.
