NEW PAPER MONEY
TO Be EXHIBITED
Government to Guard Against
Counterfeiting as Shift
Approaches.

Intent on guarding against counter
feiting of the Small-Size paper bills to
be issued by the Federal Government
early next month, the Treasury Depart
ment will seek to acquaint the public
thoroughly with the new currency by
placing 1t on exhibition in various bank
ing institutions over the country very
shortly. The shift over from the pres
ent-Size bills to the smaller size Is re-
garded by the Treasury as "a period
without precedent in the history Of the
country" and officials are eager to speed
up the transition period as much as
possible.
Old to BE Redeemed.
|. Outstanding old currency will be re-
deemed with the new through the
banks. Treasury Department officials
estimate that the turnover period will
extend over six months.
In spite of the fact that the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing is turning
out the stupendous total of 10000, 00C
sheets of II bills each, or $4,000, 00C
individual pieces, the circulation cannot
possibly be completely changed over
night, it Is explained
For this reason ofncials of the Treas
ury have made plans for a gradual
change, beginning on specific date
to be announced later. Already the
new money Is being shipped to the Fed
eral Reserve banks. and will be ready
in all parts of the country for stimuli
taneous release to the eagerly waiting
public.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Henry II. Bond, in charge of the new
money program, explains that the prob
lem of distribution calls for stocks OF
the new size currency to be placed in
reserve custody in the IL Federal Re-
serve Banks and in certain of their
branches On the specified date all
established denominations from 81 to
$50, inclusive of all kinds of currency
except national bank notes, will be is
sued. The higher denominations of the
United States and Federal Reserve cur
rency and the established denomina-
tions of national bank notes will fol-
low as soon as possible. All issues will
be through the Federal Reserve banks
to member and other banks, and all
banks will be placed on an equal foot
ing.
