BANK NOTES BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY UNITED STATES MINTS You are aware that the first United States Mint was established in Phil­ adelphia in 1792 but what about the six other Mints in our history . . . can you name more than two or three? Curiously, when additional coin production facilities were decided upon ,it was not unlike a moderns-day chain store expansion binge . . . the Govern­ ment opened three new mints in one single year (1838)...New Orleans,Dah- lonega, Georgia and Char­ lotte, North Carolina. Gold had been discovered in some sections of the South­ east and these establish­ ments were built ex- pressedly to coin the pre­ cious metal close to the source and avoid the perils of shipping the bullion overland to Philadelphia. Each of these facilities closed down with the onset of the Civil War. The New Orleans Mint reopened in 1879, operating until 1909. The discovery of gold in the West prompted the opening of the San Fran­ cisco Mint, in 1854 and the silver boom spawned a Mint at Carson City, Nevada in 1870. In 1906 a Mint at Denver commenced oper­ ations. The Carson City Mint was closed in 1893. In that period from 1854 until 1861, there were five U.S. mints in operation. Today, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver are in full operation. ( San Francisco was closeddown from 1955 to 1968). The first Philadelphia Mint building cost the tax­ payers about $4,500. The new Mint in Philadelphia (1969) cost $40 million.... it is the largest finest fac­ ility in the world. In Sept­ ember, 1974 it set a one day production record ... 30.6 million coins. By corn- comparison, in 1864 it took almost six months to pro­ duce that quantity. With in the past year a new U.S. Mint has been put in operation at West Point on the reservation of the U.S. military Academy. While currently designated as a branch of the Philadelphia Mint, this facility will be producing two billion cents annually, helping to alleviate the production pressures on the other Mints dictated by added coinage celebrating the Bi-Centennial. The dramatic role of West Point in the Revolutionary War and more recently in our monetary system will be told in a future column.
