Pub. L. 89-81, tit. II, sec. 206

Sec. 206. (a) Section 3528 of the Revised Statutes (31 U.S.C. 340) is amended to read: “Sec. 3528. The Secretary of the Treasury may use the coinage metal fund for the purchase of metal for coinage. The gain arising from the coinage of metals purchased out of such fund into coin of a nominal value exceeding the cost of such metals shall be credited to the coinage profit fund. The coinage profit fund shall be charged with the wastage incurred in such coinage, with the cost of distributing such coins, and with such sums as shall from time to time be transferred therefrom to the general fund of the Treasury.” (b) The effect of the amendment made by subsection (a) of this section shall be to redesignate the minor coinage metal fund established under section 3528 of the Revised Statutes as the coinage metal fund, and not to authorize the creation of a new fund.
