Best Answer
  • to hold the money that the government collected in taxes
  • to help the government carry out its powers to tax, borrow money in the public interest, and regulate interstate and foreign commerce
  • to issue representative money in the form of bank notes, which were backed by gold and silver
  • to ensure that state-chartered banks held sufficient gold and silver to exchange for bank notes should the demand arise.
