Paul Hybert summary: "A report from mint director Moore to President Monroe, who relayed it to Congress. The amount of gold, silver, and copper coins minted in 1824 almost reaches the highest level ever attained, in 1820. This is the third year of inconsiderable deposits of gold, because gold continues to bring a premium over its standard value. Silver deposits have been abundant during the year."
