Cost of canvas coin bags

Here's what it cost the mint to make canvas coin bags as of Dec. 1907. If you own any coins from that era, it is likely they spent time in one of these bags.

This is part of one page from a monthly report each mint prepared providing details of the cost of operations. Most of these reports appear to have been lost.

    Neat report. Looks like they made aprons too.

    They made a lot of the items in daily use, including mops, towels, coffee bags, mending flags, repairing cotton gloves; the machinists fabricated many press parts in addition to turning dies to fit the presses, etc.
