Excerpt from Bank of the United States: April 30, 1832; Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union; Twenty-Second Congress, First Session If, however, the committee have taken a wrong view of this subject, so far as foreign coin is concerned, it seems by the statement of the President of the bank, to be virtually admitted that our own coin is not bullion, and, therefore, does not come within the objects of trade allowed to the bank by the 9th fundamental rule of the charter. By reference to the statement of specie sold by the bank, marked No. 24, it will be found that the sum of 3 44 of American gold coin has been parted with. The fourth case is, selling stock obtained from Government under special acts of Congress. They have thought it their duty to present the subject to the consideration of Congress.
