Suspension of Poinage Halts Silver Coinage

By presidential directive, coinage of all silver bullion bought under the Sherman act is suspended from November 1. The treasury holds about 137,644,000 ounces of bullion. The New Orleans mint closes and no more silver dollar coinage will occur while Congress acts on currency. The subsidy recoinage fund is exhausted and no further coinage will be made until Congress provides. This effectively shifts outstanding treasury obligations to a gold base.
