More than 700 million dollars in 2 percent bonds have fixed national bank note circulation, while the act provides for retirement via 80 year 3 percent bonds and one year gold notes. McAdoo, on counsel advice, ruled the purchase provision applies only to bonds backing bank currency, not reserve-bank holdings, likely accelerating retirement of the 2s.
