U.S. Mint Reports
Primarily consisting of the Mint Director's annual report, this series contains information often found nowhere else, revealing internal workings of the Mint and copious statistical data. In addition to the annual reports, this series includes other reports as issued, for example, results of assay tests of foreign gold and silver coins. Beginning in 2010, the biennial report on coinage production cost and cost saving alternatives is included in this series.

3/11/1820Message from the President of the United States, Transmitting a Report of the Director of the Mint, for the Year 1819
Mint Director Robert Patterson's report for the year 1819, delivered March 11, 1820. Also found in the American State Papers, class 3 (finance), vol. 3, report no. 585.
Paul Hybert summary: "A short report from mint director Patterson to President Monroe, who relayed it to Congress. The small production was due to months with only small bullion deposits. With just a single press, and, of course, 80 tons of copper, 7.5 million cent pieces could be coined in a year."
