He knew how long coins last and was involved in the 1965 decision to issue "sandwich" coins -- dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollar pieces that contain a copper core "sandwiched" between nickel cladding.
As a consultant in later years on coinage, currency and minting matters, he worked closely with the National Automatic Merchandising Association and similar groups on issues involving vending machines, cash registers, parking meters and other coin-operated devices.

He held administrative posts with the Department of Agriculture from 1946 to 1949 before joining the Department of the Treasury. For 18 years, he served as the public information officer on the staffs of five Treasury secretaries.
In 1967, he joined the Mint, where he was the primary spokesman for the director. He acted as liaison with Federal Reserve banks, congressional and executive offices, foreign governments, the press and numismatic organizations.
In 1974, in his capacity as assistant director of the Mint, he saw the gold in Fort Knox, Ky., when members of the media and some members of Congress were invited to verify its presence. He retired in 1975.
During his government service, Mr. Cahoon received the Treasury Department's Outstanding Leadership Award and the secretary of the treasury's Meritorious Service Award with Silver Medal. When he retired, he received the Albert Gallatin Award for "long and distinguished service" in the department.
In 1969, he was named the Society for Philatelics and Numismatics' man of the year.
Mr. Cahoon enjoyed traveling in the United States and abroad and spent summers on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He had been a member of Culmore United Methodist Church in Falls Church for 51 years.
