FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA ABOUT THE COVER Fifty thousand notes per hour flash through the Currency Verifying, Counting and Sorting (CVCS) Systems now operating or soon to be installed at all Federal Reserve offices in the Sixth District. Notes deposited by commercial banks are placed on an in put rack that automatically feeds them to the computer-controlled machine. Mixed denominations, possible counterfeits, and the like are rejected for closer, human inspection. Notes unfit for further use are automatically shredded and blown through a plastic tube to a secondary chopper that reduces them to an easily disposable residue. Notes fit for another trip through the commercial banks to the public are automatically strapped in hundreds, then ejected down one of the chutes pictured on the cover. The photographer’s 1/2000-second strobe flash has “frozen” a few notes just arriving above the strapping mechanism. Below, approximately twenty straps await transfer to the vault. Technological advances like this have enabled the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and its Birmingham, Jacksonville, Miami, Nashville, and New Orleans branches to reduce their total staff by some twenty percent over the past five years in spite of steady increases in operating volumes.
