In fact the out-turn of one-cent piec- es in the last decade forms one-third of the total since the beginning of the present form of government. The bank’s statement on this sub- Jject shows that the number of one-cent coins manufactured by the mints of the United States from 1793 to the end of the fiscal year 1916 was 2,804,000, Even in the single fiscal year 1916 the number of one-cent pieces coined was 101,230 317, while in the high record year 1910 number turned out was 152 846 218. The number of pieces coined never touched the 100,000 000 line prior to 1907, the total for that year being 108,138618; and the annual average since that time has been nearly 100,000,000 per year.
