Lots of smart people are making money by expounding the latest penny trick to their friends, saysr an English paper of December 10. They offer to pay 5d for every P“nny "reduced which bears one of the nates 1922 1923, 1924, 1925, or 1926, on the condition that pennies dated otherwise are handed to the chal lenger. In ninety-nine cases out or a hundred the person who accepts the offer loses his pennies. There are very few 1922 pennies, about, said an official of the Royal Mint, “and from 1923 to 1926 inclusive no pennies were minted. It was because everybody complained that the country was flooded with pennies that we considered an issue was not necessary.”
