Christmas Gold Rush Tests New York Banks and Public
Banks in New York withdraw about 5 million in gold coins in preparation for Christmas. The Treasury minted limited 2.50 dollar gold pieces for the season, with premiums up to 50 cents and only 240 thousand available in the district. The New York Fed will allot these coins to banks as demand surges in the days before Christmas, with much of the money and coins returning by mid January. Nationwide, projected gold and currency circulation runs high, then recedes within a month.
