This currency is wholly un- fit for circulation, and if paid out by banks is immediately returned to them. It is well understocd that the treasury at Wash- ington will redeem all such currency with new bills, but banks often neglect to avail themselves of this prices wing to ex- pense and bother incident thereto.
