WHY HOARD CURRENCY?

Nevada State JOurnaD
In the early wears of the depression.
President Hoover lamcnt2d the fact that
many Americans were boarding money in
old shoes and other places. He asked
them to dig it out.
Apparently there is some boarding of
currency again The Federal Reserve
Bank Of New York, in special sum-
mary on defense bonds. points out that
an important source of funds which
could be applied to financing the war,
through the purchase of savings bonds.
is the large amount of currency which
is being held by individuals 1t recog-
niZes that th2 rapid rise in the volume
of production and trade in the last three
wears and tha accompanying rise in
money incomes, serve to explain a large
part of the rise in currency circulation,
but it asserts, there still is large
amount which undoubtedly represents
boarding by individuals. or at least the
holding of larger amounts than are need
ed to make day-to-day purchases.
"Various explanations have been ad-
vanced as reasons for the. boarding of
currency" the bank says None is more
irrational than that which holds that cur
rency is to be preferred to bank deposits
or savings bonds. because an initiation
may develop as a result of the war. But
the holder of currency would not in any
event have any advantage over the holder
of savings bonds or Of a bank deposit both
of which can freely be converted into cur
renCt.
Furthermore, the holder of savings
bond receives an interest return on his
investment. whereas the holder Of cur
rency has a non-income producing asset.
With the nation at war patriotism and
self-nterest alike therefore, suggests
that such money be put to work by in
vesting it in savings bonds.
