"... and issuance of paper currency that was not backed by gold or silver. Holders of this paper could only redeem it (in exchange for specie) at the bank’s office."

??? this seems to be saying that paper lacking a gold or silver standard (fiat? or were other standards apart from gold/silver used?) could only be redeemed for gold or silver coin (specie) at the issuing bank. Perhaps it's assumed that the "specie" redeemable by the paper varied?

Merge from National Bank Act

They are the same Act.—Markles 20:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The effect of the Act

Some banks were exempted from tax. what were they? and why the "dual banking system"? Did the tax caused the closure of some state banks? if yes, when did this happened? And then when did the state banks cameback with checking account with green back as reserves? Jackzhp 17:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If someone can find or put this on Wikisource it should probably be linked. --Emesee 05:13, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Topic

1. The title of the article is singular, Act. The 1st sentence announces the topic as plural, Acts. Which is it?

2. The 1st sentence states the scope of the article as two acts, those of 1863 and 1864. But section headings identify 3 or more acts—1863, 1864, and 1865–66. Which is it?

3. The 3rd sentence of the article begins, "The Act …" What Act? No "act," singular, was named.

4. The title, section heading National Bank Act, and the 1863 … 1865-66 headings each say National Bank Acts. The 1st sentence and section Legacy say National Banking Acts. Which is it?

For Wikipedia to lack clarity on a point of detail is one thing; to be unable to even identify the topic is another.

@Jimlue: I agree with some of these concerns. Other than changing the title, you can consider making other edits and see what others say. See WP:RM for changing title. Orientls (talk) 09:10, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
