Currency size change to smaller notes proposed
The Treasury plans a three point shift in U S paper money size under Secretary Mellon. Notes will shrink to 6 1 2 by 2 3 4 inches and ten to twelve notes will print from a single plate, saving costs. The move follows a Philippine experiment that showed the smaller size works better in pockets and handling. The plan also consolidates types into five categories and fronts portraits of presidents on corresponding denominations.
