"An additional 8.6 million francs in gold exchange applications within 5 days?" Joseph slightly frowned and looked at Lafitte, "Please elaborate."
"Yes, Your Highness." The manager of the Bank of France Reserve bowed slightly, "These clients have diverse backgrounds, but all refuse alternative exchange methods. The amounts are at least over 300,000 francs.
"Earlier, the exchanges were mainly concentrated at the Paris Bank, but starting yesterday, banks in Reims and Orleans have also received exchange applications."
Brian added from the side, "There are also numerous rumors in the financial markets saying 'the Bank's gold reserves are exhausted' or 'the government will soon terminate the banknotes-for-gold exchange service.'"
"Currently, the news hasn't spread widely among the public, but there are still citizens queuing at the banks to exchange gold."
Joseph asked Brian again, "What is the current 'non-exchangeable quota' for francs?"
