<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1765773, member: 66"]Kegs apparently were used a lot later than most people realize. According to Roger Burdette in <i>From Mine to Mint</i>, in 1904 the mint shipments were made in 15,452 bags and 4,o68 kegs. He has a picture from 1914 that shows the loading of a flat bed truck including at least 8 mint kegs being used for gold export. A keg of gold coin would contain 10 $5K bags of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
