Sec. 3. That there shall be coined at the mints of the United States a silver dollar of the weight of four hundred and twelve and eighttenths grains troy, of standard silver, the emblems, devices and inscriptions of which shall conform to those prescribed by law for the gold and silver coins of the United States, with such modifications thereof as may be necessary to render the said dollar readily distinguishable from the trade-dollar; and in the coinage and delivery thereof,' the same deviations from standard weight and fineness shall be allowed as are prescribed by law for the trade-dollar; and the said dollar herein authorized shall be a legal tender at its nominal value for any amount not exceeding $20 in any one payment, except for customs-duties and interest on the public debt; and the tradedollar shall not hereafter be a legal tender.

The next amendment was to add a new section:

Sec. 4. That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to exchange the silver dollars herein authorized for an equal amount of United States notes, which shall be retired and canceled, and not be again replaced by other notes. And he is authorized to exchange such silver coin at its nominal value for silver bullion at its market value, to be ascertained and announced from time to time by the Director of the Mint, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. And the United States notes and fractional currency redeemed under this act shall be held to be a part of the sinking-fund provided for by existing law.
