Silver Profit Fund Circulation State of Coinage Profit

The United States Treasury reports a profit of 2,095,000 dollars from silver coinage under the silver act, with about 35,000,000 dollars disbursed for bullion purchases and 2,000,000 ounces coined monthly. Debate centers on circulating the profit as Treasury notes or silver certificates, with officials favoring certificates on coined dollars under the Bland act and the new silver act. The plan envisions annual profits near 5,000,000 dollars while maintaining existing silver certificates in circulation.

Secretary Refuses Gold Bar Exchange With $1 Million Offer

The acting Secretary of the Treasury refused to authorize exchanging gold bars for United States gold coin at the New York Sub-Treasury, blocking a $1,000,000 offer. The move signals a shift to curb gold withdrawals, leveraging new law allowing a charge to cover bar production costs and the Secretary’s approval for exchanges. The decision may still leave exports possible via private bar production or coin exports, but it creates a barrier to easy exchange and could affect flows.
