Then the woman went to the presses, which in one operation impress the blank coinage on both sides and, in some coins, mill round the edge. A coin which is helping to win the war is the 12 -sided three -penny piece of nickel -brass. It contains less than a quarter of the metal in three pen- nies, and their copper is needed for munitions. No pennies have been struck for United Kingdom use since June 1040, which et that time meant a saving of over 800 tons of copper a year: But last year saw the minting of 00,000,000 nickel -brass three -pen- nies, the highest total in any year since they were first issued in 1937, when 45 million were struck. In 1938, 15 million were issued; in 1939, 5,- 600,000 ;000,000 and in 1940 13,000,000, There are now about 150,000,000 of them in circulation, compared with about 3,- 000 million bronze Coins and 1,350 million silver coins. • The brass threepenny was given its distinctive shape and size because the new coin had to be larger than the tiny silver threepenny, which was becoming unpopular, yet had to be sharply differentiated from the larger coins, When first issued it was re- ceived as a great curiosity, and mW1- ions went out of circulation to col- lectors. The lights had gone out in the bus, and the tall man asked the lady, who bad got on at the last stop, if he could help her find a strap, "I've al- ready found one," she said, "Then would you mind letting go of my. necktie?"
