Treasury to issue silver certificates under existing law
The Secretary of the Treasury will issue silver certificates from the silver profit fund now in Treasury cash following the silver act. The Attorney General says the 1878 coinage act set a standard for silver dollars and certificate issuance, unchanged by later laws. Seignorage from new coinage totals about 2.5 million dollars with over 1 million more awaiting transfer, while a plan to certify against fractional silver faces tighter legal hurdles and likely rejection.
