BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF THE

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
WASHINGTON
ADDRESS

OFFICIAL C O R R E S P O N D E N C E
TO THE

BOARD

July 13, 1936
B~II64.

Dear Sir:
In order to keep the Board advised of the stocks of United States
currency on hand in the one and two dollar denomination# the Federal Reserve
banks have for several years, at the Board's request, been wiring the amount
of new, fit and unassorted ones and twos held at the Close of business each
Friday night.

Such information was. particularly helpful when the supply of

ones available at the Treasury was inadequate at times to meet the demands
of the various Federal Reserve banks*
The Treasury is now, as you know, in a position to supply sufficient one and two dollar bills to meet all normal demands of the Federal
Reserve banks and it is thought that weekly mail reports in lieu of the
present telegraphic reports will now suffice for our purposes, A supply
of a form (B-31) for use in submitting the report is inclosed.

It will be

noted that the form calls for a report on holdings of notes of the five
dollar denomination as well as of ones and twos.
