SUBJECT:

Payment of Gold Coin.

Dear Sir:
The Federal Reserve Board desires to ascertain
what policy the Federal Reserve Banks ara followin~ this
year with reference to payment of e:;old coins for holiday
purposes.
A letter receivao. from the Undersecretary of
the Tr0asury states that in so far as the Treasury is concerned, there is no objection whatever to such payments
and expresses the opinion that it would be the best policy
to make such payments freely without question. The Undersecretary furthar states that the Treasurer of the United
States has been ~iven instructions to this effect, and that
the Treasury Department feels that it is highly desirable
that the policy in this respect be uniform.
T'ne Board
concurs in the views of the Undersecretary of the Treasury
as outlined above.
By oro.er of the Federal Reserve Boaru.
Very truly your3,

Wm. W. Roxton,
. Secretary.

To all Governors of Federal Reserve Banks.
