Dirty money period seen in bill change
Washington dec 21 There will be a wirty money period for Americans when the process of exchanging the new small denominations for the present coinage begins about July 1. Issue of the present notes will be suspended April 40, a treasury official said. Between that date and July 1 bills unfit for circulation will be turned in by banks for destruction or sent to the treasury money laundry. The old currency will be replaced as smaller bills exhaust the supply, with some old notes not serving nine months. The treasury expects a gradual withdrawal and eventual retirement of small denominations while larger notes remain in circulation.
