FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK
Fiscal Agent of the United States
r Circular No. 6 7 7 8~l

August 9, 1971

Modification of Food-Coupon Deposit Requirement

To A ll Commercial Banks in the
Second Federal Reserve District:

The requirement, contained in our Circular No. 6551, dated May
29, 1970, that redeemed food coupons should be deposited with this
Bank only in packages of 100 coupons for each denomination has been
modified. This Bank will now accept for deposit one odd-lot package
(less than 100 coupons) of each denomination of food coupons per
deposit. Accordingly, redeemed coupons need no longer be retained
until 100 coupons of each denomination have been accumulated.
Depositing banks should continue to sort redeemed food coupons
according to denomination and to bundle them, where possible, in
packages of 100. Each package of 100 coupons should be bound with
a paper strap, and the dollar amount of the coupons enclosed in the
package should be indicated thereon, together with the name of the
depositing bank and the name and address of the office of that bank
at which the package was prepared. If an odd-lot package is included
in the deposit, it should be prepared in the same manner. All other
provisions of Circular No. 6551 remain in effect.
If you have any questions with regard to this modification, please
contact the Coupon Division at our Head Office or the Food Coupon
Section at our Buffalo Branch.
