1954 in 1954 government profits from coin production totalled more than 1000000 they probably doubled in 1955 federal officials say the big rise in coin production in 55 may not all be a reflection of good times higher demand may have resulted from in creased use of coin vending machines and changes in street car and bus fares prices of goods and taxes but there is no doubt they say that prosperity
