LONDON, Jam 26th The Royal Mint is now in full activity over the new derigued 1028 coinage, spouting out forins and shillings at the rate of about a quarter of a million coins of each value a day. Pennies, too, are being provided at an intense rate (more than 60,000,000 in 1927) for world which is growing more. careful with money and wants pen- nies badly therefore.

From the plaster mode sent in by the artist, the Mint produers a metal replica. This is put into the machine where an arm like the point of a stylographie pen pro jects toward it.

A block of steel of the required shilling size is also put in, oppo site to another such point, and then the controller of this particu- lar machine ensures that the two points are in absolute alignment. Then he sets it going and out of Artistry and love of his work watches it all day.
