Custodial Inventory Program

The January issue of FedFocusSM (PDF) is now available. The article ”Cash Counts: Taking Stock of FedCash Services Today” on page 9 of the printed issue contains an error. In the second paragraph, third sentence under the Custodial Inventory (CI) Program eligibility requirements, the sentence that reads "200,000 bundles per week" has been corrected to read "200,000 notes per week". The existing CI Program requirements have not changed. Please take this opportunity to review the CI Program requirements below or read the accurate online version of the FedFocus (PDF) article.

A custodial inventory is currency transferred to the Federal Reserve Banks' books, but physically held by a financial institution within its secured facility, reducing the investment cost of holding currency long enough to recirculate it to customers. The Federal Reserve Banks' Custodial Inventory Program is available only for $10 and $20 notes.
