Government to issue more silver certificates under plan
Washington Aug 11 A surprise announcement said the government will print more silver certificates than expected under the silver purchase program. Certificates will be issued against free silver up to 1.29 an ounce, with the difference as seigniorage. New silver nationalized Thursday forms groundwork for certificates, but initially only at cost. Observers ponder currency expansion and possible Treasury profit use, while Senator Thomas notes large silver stock needed for full monetary base expansion. The paper is issued against free silver held in the Treasury prior to the purchase act.
