Currency Reformers Study German Money Law
Currency reformers examine Germany’s monetary system, focusing on elasticity of use and redemption. The German law, shaped by Bleichroeder and Memark, allows the state bank to issue notes up to about 170 million dollars with one third gold or treasury backing and two thirds promissory notes with two endorsements. An emergency issue under a heavy tax rests on the state bank’s overall credit, though critics note the prominence of commercial paper in circulating media.
