Paper currency of each denomination in circulation-June 30, 1960
1 For a description of security held, see table 57, footnote 2.
2 Based on the Bureau of the Census estimated population. Through 1958 the estimated population is for the "conterminous" United States (that is, exclusive of Alaska, Hawaii, and the outlying areas, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands); the estimated population includes Alaska for 1959 and both Alaska and Hawaii for 1960.
3 Does not include gold other than that held by the Treasury.
4 These amounts are not included in the total, since the gold or silver held as security against gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890 is included under gold, standard silver dollars, and silver bullion, respectively.
5 This total includes credits with the Treasurer of the United States payable in gold certificates in (1) the Gold Certificate Fund-Board of Governors, Federal Reserve System, in the amount of $15,278,087,296 and (2) the redemption fund for Federal Reserve notes in the amount of $935,379,509.
Includes $42,000,000 lawful money deposited as a reserve for postal savings deposits. 7 The amount of gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890 should be deducted from this amount before combining with total money held in the Treasury to arrive at the total amount of money in the United States.

1 Beginning June 30, 1922, form of circulation statement was revised to include in holdings of Federal Reserve Banks and agents, and hence in stock of money, gold bullion and foreign gold coin held by Federal Reserve Banks and agents, and to include in holdings of Federal Reserve Banks and agents and hence exclude from money in circu- lation, all forms of money held by Federal Reserve Banks and agents, whether as reserve against Federal Reserve notes or otherwise. For purposes of comparison, figures in this table for earlier years include these changes. For full explanation of this revision, see 1922 annual report, p. 433. The form of circulation statement was revised again beginning Dec. 31, 1927, so as to exclude earmarked gold coin from stock of money, and hence from money in circulation; to include in holdings of Federal Reserve Banks and agents, and hence in stock of money, gold held abroad for account of Federal Re- serve Banks; and to include in all categories, minor coin (1-cent piece and 5-cent piece). Beginning Dec. 31, 1927, circulation statement is dated for end of month instead of beginning of succeeding month, as was practice theretofore, and figures on revised basis for "Money held in the Treasury" are used. For purposes of comparison, figures in this table for earlier years include these changes For explanation of this revision, see
1928 annual report. pp. 70-71. For figures for earlier years from 1860 through 1934, see annual reports for 1947, pp. 478-481, for 1952, p. 708, and for 1953, p. 551. Changes, minor in amount, are made in some figures in the June 30 circulation statements for use in these annual report tables.
Excludes gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890 outside Treasury. Beginning with 1934, has excluded gold certificates held for Federal Reserve Banks and agents. These items are excluded since gold and silver held as security against them are included. Composition of the stock of money is shown in table 57. Beginning with 1934 gold certificates held for Federal Reserve Banks and agents have been excluded from total money in Treasury, see footnote 2.
4 Composition of money in circulation is shown in table 58.
Based on Bureau of Census estimated population, see table 55, footnote 2. On November 9, 1953, $500,000,000 of gold held in the Treasurer's account was used to purchase from the Federal Reserve System a like amount of public debt obligations which were retired. See annual report for 1954, p. 26.
On June 23, 1959, $300,000,000 of the balance of free gold was utilized to pay a portion of the U.S. quota increase to the International Monetary Fund.

2 Part of gold and silver included in stock of money is held as reserve against other kinds of money, as follows: (1) As reserve for United States notes and Treasury notes of 1890-gold bullion (gold coin and bullion prior to gold conservation actions of 1933 and 1934) varying in amount from $150,000,000 to $156,039,431 during years. included in this table; (2) also as security for Treasury notes of 1890 (these notes are being canceled and retired on receipt)-an equal dollar amount in standard silver dollars; (3) as security for outstanding silver certificates-silver in bullion and stand- ard dollars of monetary value equal to face amount of such silver certificates; and (4) as security for gold certificates-gold bullion (gold coin and bullion before gold actions of 1933 and 1934) of value at legal standard equal to face amount of such gold cer- tificates. Federal Reserve notes are secured by deposit by Federal Reserve Banks with Federal Reserve agents of like amount of gold certificates (gold prior to actions of 1933 and 1934) or of gold certificates and such discounted or purchased paper as are eligible under terms of Federal Reserve Act, as amended, or (from Feb. 27, 1932) of direct obligations of the United States. Federal Reserve Banks must maintain
reserves in gold certificates (gold for 1933 and prior years) of at least 25 percent (40 percent prior to passage of act of June 12, 1945) including redemption fund which must be deposited with the Treasurer of the United States, against Federal Reserve notes in actual circulation ("Gold certificates" as herein used for 1934 and subse- quent years include credits with Treasurer payable in gold certificates). Federal Reserve notes are obligations of United States and a first lien on all assets of issuing Federal Reserve Bank. Federal Reserve Bank notes at time of issuance were secured by direct obligations of United States or commercial paper; however, lawful money has been deposited with Treasurer for their redemption and they are in process of retirement. National bank notes at issuance were secured by direct obligations of the United States; lawful money has been deposited with Treasurer for their redemp- tion and they are being retired.
Totals involve duplication to extent that United States notes and Federal Reserve notes, included in full, are in part secured by gold, also included in full. Gold cer- tificates, silver certificates, and Treasury notes of 1890 have been excluded, however, since they are complete duplications of equal amounts of gold or silver held as security therefor and included in totals.
