WASHINGTON - The number of dollar bills rolling off the great United States government presses here and in Fort Worth, Texas, fell to a modern low in the last fiscal year. Production of $5 bills also dropped to the lowest level in 30 years. For the first time in that period, the Treasury Department did not print any $10 bills.
