d'ae the InTolnntarv Work af a
Dime Slot Machine Company.
The disappearance of the 3-cent
piece has for years been a matter of
mild speculation. The New York. Sun
3ays persons are aware that a large
proportion of the coins of this denom
ination which remained in circulation
when the government stopped issuing
them are peaceably slumbering in
3undry large fat canvas bags in the
vaults of a certain electrical manufac
turing company of Chicago. They are
not for sale just yet.
Each of the coins Is an evidence of
petty larceny.
Years ago tAe company eauiDDed
many telephone pay stations with dime
slot machine. It was supposed that
they could b worked only with dimes.
The 3-cent sieces were becoming rare
and no thought was taken of them.
Hardly six months passed before one
of the telphone companies discovered
that the collectors were yielding a
harvest ft 3-cent pieces. Then from
all overAhe country came similar com
plaints
Eachf company forwarded the pieces
to th .manufacturing company and
more or less politely asked that a cor
responding number of dimes or a
;he for an equivalent amount be
lenf back in exchange.
council was held at the office of
th manufacturing company. The cost
of correcting the boxes was compared
th fairly trustworthy information
the number of 3-cent pieces In cir
culation. It was found that a balance
kraa in favor of the 3 cents and it was
iecided to accept the pieces as dimes.
Gradually the inpour of 3-cent pieces
narrowed down to an intermittent
current. The company seemed to have
about all the pieces.
It is said that If ever the premium
on 3-cent pieces goes high enough the
coins will be offered to collectors at
prices based upon the original cost to
the company, plus 6 per cent a year,
plus cost of storage, plus cost of guard
ing, plus cost of carrying the fund
I upon the books. Long ago the slot
machines that collected them were rel-
egated to the scrap heap. ; t "
