Nationalization of silver order affects currency backing
The President enacted the silver nationalization order with a 90 day surrender for all silver bullion and bars at 50.01 cents an ounce. It allows the treasury to value silver at 1.29 dollars and issue certificates, aiming to back 25 percent of the national currency with silver. The move may be inflationary and shifts benefits to debtors and silver mine owners. The amount in the U S is unknown and imports from abroad may be needed.
