Currency in circulation includes Federal Reserve notes and coin outside the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Banks. The total includes Treasury estimates of coins outstanding and Treasury paper currency outstanding. This definition of currency in circulation differs from the currency component of the money stock (CURRENCY), which excludes currency held in vaults of depository institutions.
