The 62 billion pennies produced during the past 15 years have num ismatic value and because of the huge mintage they w ill never attain great value.” she con tinued "Nevertheless , speculators and hoarders of pennies have caused what seems to be a short age of pennies in certain areas of the country. But there is no shortage of a supply of pennies ." "Creating a shortage where it does not exist can adversely affect every public spirited c it izen. taxpayer and conservator of the earth's resources It is inflationary should merchants start to round off sales to the next nickel due to lack of pennies to m ake sm all change Again. I'd like to emphasize There are plenty of pennies But they are In the wrong places " It is estim ated that over 30 billion pennies are in circu lation-doing the job for which they were intended Somewhere in this vast country of ours, however, in excess of 30 billion pennies are in hiding These are the pennies I ’m looking for They are in dresser drawers, shoe boxes, pickle ja rs ; most an y place you can think of that will get them out of the pocket and out of sight They are unwanted, unused and unappreciated For the M int to be forced to continue increasing its penny production to meet the current extraordinary demand is waste ful Wasteful of a natural re- source-copper-that cannot be re plenished by m an And wasteful of the taxpayers' hard earned money One billion pennies re turned to circulation w ill save the taxpayers 310,000.000 The current price and supply of copper allows us to continue production and distribution of the copper hearing cent During the past 15 years, the M int has pumped out over 62 billion pennies using some 202,000 tons of copper in their m anufacture If just 15 billion pennies could be lured out of hidii _ the Mint ling, at current production figures wouldn't have to m ake pennies fm almost two years and it would represent a saving ofSiso m illion "F ifteen years ago. the re verse design of the Lincoln cent I was changed from wheat to a view of the Lincoln Mem orial The M int produced 25 7 billion Lincoln wheat pennies during a 50 year period," M rs Brooks said, adding. "The Lincoln wheat pennies do enjoy collector interest-some years command ing more num ism atic value than others R a rity is one of the de term inants in establishing val ue of almost any collectable item Especially this holds true for coins. A general rule of thumb is the lower the mintage of a given coin, the higher the num ism atic value Coin collect ing is a very wholesome hobby I'm happy to have young people looking at their coins Sixty-two billion pennies of identical design, however, can never qualify as numismatic rarities and so cannot ever reach great num ismatic value The true collector knows this and collects only those pennies need ed to complete his coin collection sets The true collector likes bright, uncirculated coins also Not the dull and discolored ones, unless they are rare F or every 325 or more, worth of pennies cashed in a bank, the Treasury Departm ent is prepar ed to issue a special citation to the individual or group respond ing to the penny drive.
