<p>Disclosed is a negative electrode collector for dry cells which enables to prevent generation of a hydrogen gas. In addition, this negative electrode collector for dry cells enables to manufacture an easily mass-producible dry cell having a short cycle time, high dimensional accuracy and stable quality at a lower production cost. Specifically disclosed is a negative electrode collector for dry cells which is obtained by plating, preferably electrolytic plating the surface of an iron wire rod which is formed into a desired shape by forging.</p>
