New Pennies Cause
Change Troubles
There has been considerable com
plaint about the close similarity in
appearance between the new zinc
coated penny and the regular dime.
The two look much alike and it has
resulted in errors unintentional and
sometimes intentional in the mak
ing of change and in payment of
goods and services, according to B.
C. Pinckney, manager of the Hepp
ner branch of the First National
Bank of Portland.
Pinckney further stated that vig
orous complaint has been made and
a request was made to the United
States mint for consideration of
means to overcome the confusion
with the public. In response to this
request, Nellie Tayloe Ross, director
of the mint, responded with a com
plete explanation on the use of the
new metal in minting the pennies,
the letter reads in part:
"Zinc-coated steel was adopted
for this coin because it was the only
metal the WPB could allot for that '
purpose; it had already withdrawn
copper by reason of war needs.
Even plastics were denied.
"The practicability of perforating
the coin to eliminate confusion
with other coins has been fully
considered but rejected primarily
because the resultant reduction in
the weight would' render it unfit
for use in merchandising machines.
Also, because a hole in the head of
Lincoln would scarcely be accept
able to the public. . The develop
ment of a new design would have
caused un justifiable delay in getting
coinage under way, the demand for
one-cent pieces having been heavy
and urgent A change in shape
would present difficulty in stacking.
Darkening the coin prior to its is
suance would entail more difficul
ties than can be explained in a
letter.
"You will be gratified to know
that the change in the composition
of this minor coin meant an annual
saving of enough copper to meet
the combined needs of 2 cruisers,
2 destroyers, 1245 flying fortresses,
120 field guns and 120 howitzers
or enought for one and one quarter
million shells for our big field guns."

I IKE til other living things, trees have a ycJi, a
J maturity, and an old age.
Forest trees which give us our lumber, our pulpwood,
plywood, and countless other daily necessities, produce
most useful wood in their early and middle life.
Good forestry and good management calls for harvest
ing mature trees before decay sets in and makes them less
valuable to the nation, creating a breeding place for
destructive insects and disease.
Good forest management creates a cycle of continuous
tree crops. That is the basis on which this company operates
with an eye on today ... an eye on tomorrow.
