OLD "BUNGTIME" CENTS It is estimated that there are 199, 900, 000 old-style copper pennies somewhere. Nobody seems to know what has become of them except that once in a while a single specimen turns up in change. A few years ago 4,500,000 bronze two-cent pieces were set afloat. Three million of them are still outstanding, but never seen. A million three-cent pieces are still scattered over the United States, but it is very seldom that one comes across any of them. Of the 800,000 half-cent pieces not one has been returned to the government for coinage. What has become of them?
