Bank Bills in Gar Wheels Revolutionize Treasury Destruction
Currency destroyed at the Washington treasury is recast into car wheel material. A yearly flow of 50 to 500 million dollars in canceled notes is macerated, ink removed, dried, baled, and sent to manufacturers. New notes of the same denomination are printed for non national bank losses, at no cost to the government. National banks cover expenses, though the treasury controls the division.
