Communicated to the Senate, January 7, 1822.
Washington, January 7, 1822.
To the Senate of the United States:
I transmit to Congress a report from the Director of the Mint, enclosing a statement of its operations for the last year.
JAMES MONROE.
Mint of the United States, January 1, 1822.
Sir:
I have again the honor of laying before you another annual report of the operations of the Mint. From the statement of the treasurer, accompanying this, it will appear that, during the last year, there have been struck at the Mint:
| In gold coins, | 41,089 | pieces, amounting to | $189,325 | 00 |
| In silver coins, | 2,709,160 | pieces, amounting to | 825,762 | 45 |
| In copper coins, | 389,000 | pieces, amounting to | 3,890 | 00 |
| Making, in the whole, | 3,139,249 | $1,018,977 | 45 | |
Of the deposites of silver bullion for coinage at the Mint, during the last year, it may not, perhaps, be deemed uninteresting to state that those from South America, with Mexico, amounted to $201,623.
I have the honor to be, sir, with the greatest respect and esteem, your most obedient servant,
R. PATTERSON.
James Monroe, President of the United States.
