Federal Reserve banks will be the
issuing body for both greenbacks and

fhd one-third shrinkage as a profit,
however, expecting to save that pro
portion . of the. present expense, of
printing and servicing bills,. There
will be no change in intrinsic value
or i denomination.
Issuer of the old size currency will
cease next April 30, and for two
months demands for currency will be
mat by Federal, Reserve banks front
new or circulated old-size bills.
During this period the public may
find an unusual nurnher of badly-worn
bills in circulation, but. when July 1
dawns the new small currency will
make its crackling, if diminutive ap
nejmance.. .
Even after July 1 some old bills
wiil continue to change hands, due to
orpblems involved in circulation and
redemption, but the Treasury will re
quire at an early date redemption of
alt .old currency as it reaches Federal
Reserve banks. .
National bank currency will not be
included, in the initial distribution,
pending decision by Congress as to
whether it. is to be retired..
