National Coin Shortage Is Home;
Halves And Quarters Are Scarce
tty MARTIN HARMON
"K v«> dollars in halves, please."
‘■I’m sorry,” answers t h o
tank's pretty cashier, "we
lave thorn."
"Thon I'll take quarters.''
"Wo don’t havo them either."
The nationwide coin shortage
has hit Kings Mountain, too.
The conversation reported was
the order of the day at First
Union National Bank early this
.voek. nor did bank officials
know when the next shipment
A'ould arrive — either from the
Federal Reserve, prime source of
coins of the realm, or from other
First Union branches.
"We live in hope." Vico Presi
lent l!ii hard S. lamnon said.
Meantime, the Wall Street
lournal noted Tuesday, t h e
Treasury Department, due to a
silver shortage, is checking info
possibility of minting coins from
other metals — unnamed to a
void sjMt ulation in those metals
Meantime, too. Treasury con
tinues moves to mint more coins
at Philadelphia and Denver, with
added and more automatic ma
chlnory.

alone has id machines. The sci\
iivr does his work at night and
the coins find their way to a
Castonia bank.
Hir. he adds. Kings M • .•.•.i.o
has long been a coin-orde'ing
community, rather than a de
positing one. The -why" is less
explainable.
At tile moment the shortage
is producing inconvenience pan.-'
to most retail businessmen and
they hope the situation v\ d l*e

First Union, incidentally. wa<

had The dimes. The coins wen
