Changing Style of
Nations Paper Money
Is A Gigantic Task
BY HUDSON GRuNEWAlo

Soon Americans will be working

of money. The bills and banknotes,
greenbacks and yellowbacks, that the
nieces and nephews of Uncle Sam
have been striving to gain for three
generations are going to be taken
back by the Government and destroy

more occasional hundred" the five
hundred" the Thousand" and five

-thousand-dollar note will all become
museum pieces. To fill their places
the Treasury Department is now pro-
-ducing a new and improved variety
of bills, smaller in size, different in
design, easier to handle and easier to
distinguish, but no easier to get. They
will make their first appearance in
public circulation in all parts of the

The proposed change in size is the
first one in &C years.
Many years of careful study and
planning were required before the
change was finally decided upon and
the first steps taken to effect it two
years ago by Secretary Mellon and
his associates. While many have
championed it, urged it and worked
for it, no one person can be pointed
out as the author of the idea.
The suggestion, it seems, first came
early in the century from American
administrators, army officers, school
teachers and business men who had
lived in the Philippines and had be-
come accustomed to the smaller-sized
currency being used in the islands,
which they found far more convent
ent to handle. This money was being
printed in Washington for the Philip
pine government, and because of the
apprehension of Elihu Root, then Sec
rotary of War, that there might be
confusion if both currencies were of
the same size, the islands were fur
nished paper money in sizes one-third
smaller than that used in the United
States.
On September 10, 1910, Franklin
MacVeagh, then Secretary of the
Treasury, issued a statement to the
press announcing contemplated re-
duction in size and a standardization
of design of paper currency. The size
was to be the same as that of the
Philippine currency. Three years la
ter, on February 26, 1913, Secretary
MacVeagh instructed the director of
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing to proceed Immediately with the
engraving of dies and other preimi-
naries toward the issuance of the
new-size currency, but later, under
Secretary of the Treasury William G
McAdoo, the matter of printing note;
from the new engravings was order
ed held in allegiance until more wai
known as to the probable course o
legislation in connection with the re
organization of the currency system
Other delays ensued until August
20, 1925, when Secretary Mellon de
signated committee for the purpose
of giving consideration to designs
size and other related matters" The
decision at this time to change the
size of the paper currency is the di
rect result of the study and investi
cation of this committee.
