New Money to Be Issued in Flood

types of the 81 bill: there Is only the
silver certificate. In a few years the
obsolete varieties will be comparatively
rare, and therefore valuable.
There are other changes that are
being worked out by the Treasury De-
partment besides the smaller size and
the new designs and the standardized
ton of portraits, some of which may be
introduced when the new currency is
issued One improvement that will be
made will be In the folding strength of
the paper. A bill now has a folding
strength of 1900 folds; the new bills
will have a folding strength of approx
mateiy $500 folds.
Experiments will also be made to see
If high folding strength correlateS
with a high standard of life of the bill
At present 1t seems that $500 folds to a
bill Is the highest number that cor
relates with the successful printing of
the bill. An additional factor is that 1t
is more difficult to print paper of very
high folding strength.
Possible improvements in the sizing
solution have been tested. The sizing
solution is a coating that is placed on
the bill to make it more durable. At
present glue is used.
The serial number of bill, the letter
ing at the side in blue ink. Is put on
after the glue bath. 1t is the last thing
that Is done to the bill, because one
machine cuts the bills from the sheet
and prints the serial numbers at the
same time. Any sizing solution that is
yet to be discovered must be one that
does not interfere with printing. The
life of bill will be greatly increased
if something can be discovered that will
make 1t more flexible.
The small red and blue markings on
either side of the portrait, that look like
pen tracings, are worked Into the fiber
of the paper in finer silk fibers and the
whole called distinctive paper" This
distinctive paper will not be used for
the new currency 1t is believed to be
more of an aid than hindrance to
counterfeiting. because the ordinary
person looks at the localized fiberS for
a guarantee of genuineness and neg
lects to inspect the body of the bill.
There will be no definite guarantee
Of accuracy on the new paper, such as
the fibers now used or the watermarks
on French notes. But the paper win
have an unnoticeable silk fiber that win
be present for the benefit of the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing. This
slightly distinctive paper has been
adopted for accountability purposes.
The new currency was expected to be
in circulation by this time In fact,
Secretary Dewey planned to have it
issued by last December, and make a
Christmas gift of 1t to the people of the
Nation But the work of designing and
| the preparation for changes in the ma
| chinery have gone more slowly than
was expected.
The day of the new money will prob
ably be in the middle of next year And
In preparation for 1t shopping viii be
signalized by the purchase of millions

fled by last f1ourished spending OF the

be a flood of unfamiliar paper
currency throughout the coun-
~ try. A man in Washington
will look at the small sized
bills with the new designs that his
banker hands him and say, Well, here
| it is" And a woman in a Far Western
country town will finger the bill she re-
ceives for change and eXclaim, 1T
doesn't seem natural, viii y really buy
things?"
There will be rafting of bills in
wallets that will be too big and rust
ling In till drawers that were made for
the old money that will soon be gone
forever.
The abruptness of the change will add
to the strangeneSs of using the new
money. This plan Of introducing the
new currency in one day can only oper-
ate perfectly IN theory for old bills
will be discovered and turned IN for so
years, just as the Civil War notes are
st,u coming to light. But on that day
only new bills viii be paid ont by the
banks all over the United States.
The attempt to make as much Of the
replacement as possible on one day is
manned to shorten the period of transit
ton. when the use of bills OF two sizes
will inconvenience the banks.
The most startling thing about the
new currency will be the change in
size. 1t will be the first change IN size
In &c wears. The present bills are 7-16
by 3 9-s4 inches. and the new ones will
be e5-l6 by Allie. Thus the new
bills will be practically an inch smaller
in both length and breadth.
An inch may not seem large differ
ence. but when it is considered that
there are 865,000,000 pieces of paper
currency in circulation the effect of the
change in size can be estimated. Not
only will the necessary amount of vault
space for storage be appreciably les
sened but less ink and paper will be re-
ouired to make the bills. On years
output of currency 440 more tons Of
paper are used for the present bills
than will be needed for the new ones,
OF the ink paste that is used. instead
of the liquid that is commonly known.
459 more tons are used now than will
be used for the new money. Twelve
bills will be made on the same sized
plate that Is now used for eight
The slnallness of the new bills may
result In the elimination of the present
method of folding bills lengthwise This
lengthwise folding makes lateral
crease that falls across the center Of
the portrait. AS the portrait IS the
most important factor in identifying a
counterfeit. Secret Service men en-
gagged in taking notes out of circula-
ton that fall below the standard Of
fitness send back the bills that are
creased across the center so badly that
the portrait is defaced. If the new
bills are not folded across the middle,
they win remain in circulation longer.
and also there viii be less danger OF
counterfeiting.
Another feature of the new cur
rency, the standardization of portraits.
will aid greatly in decreasing counter
feiting. The paper money now In cir
culation lacks uniformity Of portraits.
