Under the National Banking Act, national banks could issue currency up to 90% of the value of the government bonds they deposited with the U.S. Treasurer. This provision was designed to facilitate the issuance of a stable national currency backed by government securities. The act aimed to create a uniform banking system and promote confidence in the nation's financial system.
