Springer Substitutes New Currency Bill Ties to Voluntary Adoption
Washington December 24. Representative Springer and Democratic members unveil a substitute for the currency bill. The plan preserves key Carlisle features while allowing banks to retain existing bonds and issue notes, and it shifts redemption to designated agencies. It also ends the obligatory reorganizing requirement and limits government liability, with new provisions on currency certificates and failed bank notes. The measure aims for a voluntary transition to a new system with broader redemption access and a stabilized safety fund.
