DEALING WITH REPORTERS
Gar Travis writes: "Early this morning (December 31st) I was
awakened by a phone call from the Charlotte Observer
(Charlotte, North Carolina) seeking information about United
States currency issues. Reporters just "kill" me with their
questions. They have all the resources, but lack the knowledge
to utilize their research capabilities. This fellow said he found
my name on the Internet, associated with the ANA and wanted
to know if the Federal Reserve ever issued a million dollar
silver certificate and if so where to find information in its regard.Of course I directed him to visit the web site of the Bureau of
Engraving & Printing, where information could be ascertained
about the largest denomination issued, $100,000 featuring
Woodrow Wilson (an inter-bank transfer currency of the late
1930's) http://www.bep.treas.gov/document.cfm/18/118 and
that perhaps contacting the Federal Reserve Bank in Charlotte
would yield additional answers to his inquiry about United States
currency issues and he said: "There's a Federal Reserve Bank in
Charlotte? Really?" Yes, a branch office of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond.
