The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:06 a.m., in room 2128, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Andy Barr [chairman of the subcommittee] presiding. Present: Representatives Barr, Williams, Lucas, Huizenga, Pittenger, Love, Hill, Emmer, Mooney, Davidson, Tenney, Hollings- worth, Moore, Foster, Sherman, Green, Kildee, and Vargas. Chairman BARR. The subcommittee will come to order. Without objection the Chair is authorized to declare a recess of the Com- mittee at any time. All members will have 5 legislative days within which to submit extraneous materials to the Chair for inclusion in the record. This hearing is entitled, ‘‘The Future of Money: Coins and Bank- notes.’’ I now recognize myself for 4 minutes to give an opening statement. Despite all the focus on innovative ways to exchange value or settle transactions, Bitcoin, Apple Pay, Venmo, and dozens more and with the increasing use of credit and debit cards, coins and currency still are a major factor in our retail economy. Cash may not be king anymore but it is still royalty and many Americans have a little of it in their pocket or purse right now. Even so, there is a really large amount of United States coins and banknotes circulating, all $1.7 trillion or so of it produced by one of two bureaus of the Treasury Department: The Bureau of Engrav- ing and Printing, which prints Federal Reserve notes and the United States Mint, which makes our circulating coins as well as some investor and collector coins. The nearly 4,000 people who work at those bureaus do a terrific job. That being said, it is up to Congress to ensure that the Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing remain effective and ef- ficient and have adequate plans for the future, a future where in- novative payment options are likely to multiply and usage likely to grow. To that end, today the Monetary Policy Subcommittee welcomes the directors of the two bureaus to continue that discussion. There are real issues, real issues that have real impacts on both the econ- (1) VerDate Mar 15 2010 09:57 Nov 09, 2018 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 G:\GPO PRINTING\DOCS\115TH HEARINGS - 2ND SESSION 2018\2018-09-05 MPT FUTU mcarroll on FSR431 with DISTILLER 2 omy and the Treasury’s General Fund in the near-term and, par- ticularly, in the long-term. One of those issues, that Congress has been prodding the Mint on for a decade, is the cost to produce circulating coins. The penny and the nickel both cost considerably more than their face value to produce. Thirty years ago, Canada and the United Kingdom changed to steel coins plated to look and function like their previous coins which in turn saved a lot of money and now these countries con- tract manufacture coins for a number of other countries. Why hasn’t the United States been the leader? Why didn’t we emulate them when their move turned out to be successful? Have we just wasted tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for no good reason? There are other coin-related issues, Congressman Mooney has been a leader in pointing out that there is an increasing problem of counterfeit copies of the Mint’s American Eagle investment coins, a problem that defrauds both investors and dealers. Again, other Mints around the world have inserted anti-counterfeiting technology into their bullion but the U.S. Mint hasn’t, why not? To be sure in our discussions with the Secret Service, there are anti- counterfeiting measures that have been put into place but we want to explore improvements in that area. Additionally, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing would like a new printing plant to replace its well-known one just down the street. That is potentially a reasonable request but more work probably needs to be done on cost controls and on pinpointing fu- ture banknote demand. Right now, spending close to $1.5 billion dollars to save $40 million a year makes sense if demand for bank- notes stays the same until maybe 2050 but not everyone imagines that demand will hold up. Finally, I hope that we will hear that the bureaus have contin- gency plans for the possibility that the demand for all cash and coins could dry up fairly quickly. It is unknown whether we are moving that rapidly to a cashless society but it is worthy of explo- ration. If that were to happen over just a few years, we would have about 4,000 employees and four major factories to think about repurposing. Additionally, the ability of the U.S. Mint to collect sei- gniorage from coins could be greatly reduced, ultimately increasing the Federal Government’s deficit by hundreds of millions of dollars annually and there may be logistical difficulties with converting paper and coin money into another currency medium. I don’t see that happening anytime soon, if at all, but someone needs to be thinking about it and I hope the directors can give us a hint about such plans. The Chair now recognizes the Ranking Member of the sub- committee, the gentlelady from Wisconsin, Gwen Moore for 5 min- utes for an opening statement. Ms. MOORE. Let me join the Chairman in welcoming our es- teemed witnesses for the day. As I was cleaning my bedroom and picking up all the pennies on the floor, this is a very appropriate time to talk about this matter, finding a little jar to put them in.

  • Cash Handling Manual
    Cobb County Cash Handling Manual Finance Department December 2010 COBB COUNTY CASH HANDLING MANUAL FORWARD The contents of this manual are intended to provide Cobb County departments and Elected Offices approved principles for cash handling responsibilities. These instructions and guidelines are intended as tools to provide broad guidelines that will enable Cobb County staff members to preserve cash receipts in a safe & effective manner. The County acknowledges that its day-to-day operations are varied, and that its diverse staff must deal with many different types of revenue, caused by circumstances of environment, equipment, and timing. With these thoughts in mind, it is understood that detailed instructions for specific cash handling responsibilities are to originate from the department manager. We think the framework for cash handling presented in this Manual, along with its principles, will provide a uniform process for handling County funds. County departments should adhere to these principles by stressing the importance of cash handling to their staff and making sure that all who are associated with cash handling receive this handbook and attend cash handling training.

The Bureau designs and produces a variety of security products. As the Government’s only source for paper currency production, the Bureau prints billions of Federal Reserve Notes for delivery to the Federal Reserve System each year (the Bureau does not produce coins; all coinage is produced by the United States Mint). In addition, the Bureau produces military commissions and award certificates; invitations and admission cards; and many different types of identification cards, forms, and other special security documents for a variety of Government agencies. With production facilities in Washington, DC, and Fort Worth, Texas, the Bureau is the largest producer of Government security documents in the United States. The Bureau’s research and development efforts focus on the continued use of automation in the production process and on counterfeit deterrent technologies for use in security documents, especially U.S. currency. The Bureau also advises other Federal agencies on document security matters. HISTORY The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has its origins in legislation enacted to help fund the Civil War. In July 1861, Congress authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue paper currency in lieu of coin due to the lack of funds needed to support the conflict.

  • Federal Reserve Banks Cash Services Manual of Procedures
    Addendum to the Cash Services Manual of Procedures (CSMOP) dated 1/4/2016 for Currency Deposit Requirements Change Effective 6/25/2018 The Federal Reserve Banks are in the process of amending the Cash Services Manual of Procedures (CSMOP) dated January 4, 2016, to reflect the operational change that Depository institutions (DIs) will no longer be required to deposit $50 and $100 denominations faced with the portrait-side forward. Effective June 25, 2018, DIs may package and deposit notes of all denominations, including $50s and $100s, without regard to direction or facing. Section 4.2: Preparing a Currency Deposit is changed as follows: • Page 7: Packaging requirement instructions remove the portrait-facing orientation requirement for $50 and $100 denominations (changes marked below). • Page 8: Instructions remove the reference to bank stamp placement for $50 and $100 denominations (changes marked below). An official update to the CSMOP is underway, and the Federal Reserve will provide notification when it is published on the FRBservices.orgSM website. In the interim, DIs are encouraged to deposit all denominations of bank notes without regard to direction or facing. Contact For questions related to these changes, contact your servicing Federal Reserve Bank Cash office. Note: This addendum is not part of the official Cash Services Manual of Procedures (CSMOP) that went into effect on January 4, 2016. It serves as interim approval to eliminate the facing requirement for $50 and $100 denominations. An updated version of the CSMOP is planned for 2019.
