SUSAN B. ANTHONY DOLLARS

TO ALL BANKS IN THE
ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT:
A number of reports have been received that commercial banks in
several parts of the nation have prem aturely released the Anthony dollar coin
to the pu blic. The coin has been made available in advance to banks to provide
preparation time, with the understanding, however, that the coin is not to be
released to the public p rio r to the official release date of July 2, 1979.
A ll banks are reminded that unauthorized issuance of these coins
p rio r to July 2, 1979 may lead to prosecution under Federal law. Furtherm ore,
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has informed us that the
Secret Service intends to investigate all reported violations.
Sincerely yours,
Robert H . Boykin
F irst Vice President
