Treasury Permits Exporting of Gold
Treasury permits export of a one million dollar gold shipment marking the first sizable outflow since the financial panic last spring. Officials say the move supports a noninflationary silver plan and reflects the United States aligning with an international gold bullion standard, despite no gold redeemability of U.S. currency. The gold export rationale cites franc-dollar exchange rates favorable to selling gold abroad, with francs valued around 6.68 to 6.69 cents in Tuesday markets. The piece also mentions the U.S. marine band history.
