The Board of Governors consolidated this series onto the H.6 statistical release, "Money Stock Measures", after the H.3 statistical release was discontinued. For more information on the consolidated H.6 release, see the H.6 Technical Q&As posted on August 20, 2020.

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.
