The popiilation keeps growing. So do coin uses--for parking meters, laundromats, cigarette, candy and other machines. But a chief culprit is the speculator or collector, who. may buy coins the hope of making money when they grow scarce. COINS HOARDED Dillon said the. government has minted enough coins to han- die normal needs but a "'sud- stantial number of these have disappeared from circulation." He noted a "phenomenal rise in the number of amateur coin col- 000 in the last five years--al- though the real problem ias been coin speculators." "These speculators have been buying up coins in quantity and keeping them off the market in hopes of higher numismatic va- lue."" 7 lectors, from 2,000,000 to 10,000,- this sort of thing, legislation was passed permitting t he mints to go right on in 1965 turning out coins dated 1964. That cuts down the potential coin-collector value since there will be so many 1064-dated coins around. Another 60 coin presses are being installed. Early in 1965, annual output capacity will be more than 9,000,000,000. This will be twice the 1064 output in which September pro- duction was 590,000,000 coins, compared with a target of more than 600,000,000. in October and 700,000,000, in November. The bankers will press their vision stations. They will be after the le who, with a pocketful of re, often dump it into a drawer and forget it. The U.S. mint is making a lit- tle money on the boom in coin output. It does on every coin it produces and it expects the added revenue from the ex- $25,000,000. }4,000 rettto stations and 600 tele- panded production will be about Chinese Junks HONG KONG (AP)--The junk (East--has taken a tack toward the West.
