The words “Any coins minted after , from 900 fine coin silver shall be inscribed with the year 1964” in 31:324 are omitted because the Secretary no longer has authority to mint coins from 900 fine coin silver.

In clause (4), the words “the late President of the United States” in 31:324b are omitted as unnecessary. Clause (6) is added because 31:324 applies to coins minted under this subsection.
section 5111(a)(1) of this title31 U.S.C. 321In subsection (f)(1), before clause (A), the words “Notwithstanding this section and are substituted for “Notwithstanding any other provision of law” in 31:399 for clarity.
