Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon told the House banking committee the United States should authorize a new dollar bill, a Federal Reserve note backed by gold and bonds, to avoid having to buy silver for coinage. The plan aims to deter melting of quarters and dimes as silver prices rise and to preserve balance of payments while phasing out silver certificates.
