Between January 31, 1934 And Febuary 1, 1934, The Gold Stock Was Increased 2.98 Billion Dollars Of Which 2.81 Billion Dollars Was The Increment Resulting From Reduction In The Weight Of The Gold Dollar And The Remainder Was Gold Which Had Been Purchased By The Treasury Previously, But Not Added To The Gold Stock.
