Denomination

The amount of money represented by a security. An amount which does not include a fraction of a dollar should be entered omitting the cents position; e.g., a money order for $37.00 would be entered as 37. When the amount includes a fraction of a dollar, a hyphen should be used in place of a period (decimal); e.g., a money order for $35.75 would be entered as 35-75.

The denomination of money orders stolen, embezzled, or missing before they were issued by an appropriate authority and before amounts were indicated thereon, should be entered as “BLANK” to indicate that the amount to be paid was not stated on the money order.

For the denomination of a stock certificate, enter the number of shares represented by the certificate, as these securities do not state an amount that can be used to denote denomination. Do not enter the par value (face value at the time the stock was issued) in the Denomination Field. If a stock certificate was stolen before it was properly executed, the word “BLANK” should be entered in the Denomination Field, as the number of shares represented by the certificate would not be included thereon.

For rights and warrants enter in the Denomination Field the number of new securities which the document entitles the owner to purchase as stated in the document. When the number includes a fraction represented with a numerator and a denominator, a hyphen should be used to represent the slash (/); e.g., 43/8 would be shown as 4 3-8. When the number includes a fraction represented as a decimal, a hyphen should be used in place of the decimal point; e.g., 4.75 would be entered as 4-75.

Since warehouse receipts do not represent a value and may be issued for numerous types of warehouse items, in each instance include in the Denomination Field only the alp ha characters “WR.”

Do not use commas, periods, decimal points, or dollar signs in the Denomination Field. Denomination should always be entered in numerical form except where entry of the word “BLANK” or alpha characters “WR” is appropriate.

The following are examples of entries in the Denomination Field:
