Currency Recirculation Policy

On March 17, 2006, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors released a Federal Register Notice regarding the Currency Recirculation Policy. The notice covers the intentions of the policy, which are to reduce overuse of Federal Reserve Bank services, motivate recirculation best practices and reduce the societal cost of providing fit currency. For more information, you may review the following:

Custodial Inventory Program

Provides your institution with an option to help offset the opportunity costs associated with holding additional currency in your vaults to facilitate its recirculation. By participating in the Custodial Inventory Program you will be allowed to transfer currency to the Federal Reserve Bank's books, but continue to physically hold the currency within your secured facility.
