To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his day the notes were cut apart with shears, and Spinner thought women likely to handle these more deftly than men. These pretty notes, the representatives of the hard cash stored in the vaults, reach the public only through the Cash Roojn, a large apartment on the main floor, walled with a great variety of exquisite native and foreign marbles, and provided with a public gallery, whence all its operations may be overlooked; but visitors ought to keep very quiet. Here tightly bound packages ...of notes of a single denomina- tion, each containing 4,000 bills, are prepared for shipment to the sub-treasuries and other financial agents of the Government, or, with the loose cash needed, are paid out over the counter. The business is that of an ordinary bank, or, rather, of an extraordinary one, for checks of enormous value are frequently cashed here — one reaching as high as $10,000,000. When the various legal-tender notes (greenbacks, silver certificates, treasury notes, or gold certificates) are sent in for redemption, they go into the redemption division, where they are counted and sorted into packages — again by the quick fingers of women.
