Favor $5 Bank Notes, With Yellow Backs, to Reduce Cost of Printing. A study. by Treasury officials of the | problem of the Government's paper money “expenses has led to the ten- tative conclusion that the public is being supplied with -more denomina. tions in the various kinds of such money that it needs. Assistant Secretary Dewey. whose direction the study is being made, believes it is time to correct this | result of a topsy-turvy development of the Nation’s currency over many vears by eliminating some of the de- nominations. If the Bureau of En- graving and Printing’s present paper money output of 20 carloads annually could be concentrated on fewer de- nominations, he said today, it would mean a material saving through quantity production and less confusion to the public. Now Print 19 Types. “Without making it 'too difficult,” the Assistant Secretary continued, “it may be explained that the Treasury is now turning out five general kinds of paper money: Silver certificates, United States notes, gold certificates, national bank currency and Federal | serve currency. With the latter| two, we are not concernad in this| udy, but just consider the denomi-| ions of the first three kinds. They e issued in fiv nd eight de- nominations, respectively, making a total of 19 tvpes A ‘money issued directly ury.” Mr. Dewey then pointed out that if some way were found to eliminate de- rominations of the silver certificates, example, 50 as o leave only the » under | | he | char | means one and—bane of the superstitious— the two dollar bill, the necessity for manufacturing three types of bills would be eliminated, and by the proc- ess, he thought, the average citizen might get a little better acquainted with the silver certificate. method could be applied to the other kindgs, too, Mr. Dewey suggested, but ided there was mo intention of doing so unless the present study showed it to be approved generally throughout the country. Yellow Backs Unchanged. Some officials who have gone into the subject favored reducing the United States notes to one denomina- tion—the flve—which ‘would eliminate five denominations of money. Then the famed yellow bacx, from the prince of bills, the $10,000 note, down to the more or less familiar “10 spot,” would be allowed to remain the same with its range, including also the 20, 50, 100, 500, 1,000 and 5,000 note, to care for all needs.
