A civilian lawyer during the War of 1812, he was negotiating with the British to secure the release of an American prisoner. The British, concerned that Key had heard too much about their plans to attack Fort McHenry, decided to detain him aboard a British ship in Baltimore Harbor until it was over. The Americans were outnumbered and outgunned throughout the ferocious 25-hour bombardment. But "by the dawn's early light," Key was astounded to see the 15 stars and 15 stripes of the American flag still flying over the beleaguered fort. He pulled an envelope from his pocket and wrote the poem that later was put to a popular tune of the day. Bayes, who also serves as archivist for the Navy Band, said a British colleague once asked him why the United States would celebrate an event that was more of a draw than a gallant victory. "The flag that Francis Scott Key saw that day should not have been flying," Bayes said. "The fact that the British had over 1,000 ships and several thousand guns, and that we had maybe 17 ships and about 400-some guns, it was a true David-and-Goliath story. So that flag, for all intents and purposes, should not have been there. It was a miracle that the flag was still standing at the end of the day." "It speaks to the tenacity and courage of the democratic republic, and for fighting for its survival and fighting for democracy and freedom," Bennett added. "It encapsulates that spirit of pride that we all carry with us as citizens of the United States." Today, the national anthem continues to inspire and bring Americans together, the musicians agreed. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/consumerawareness/a/replacemoney.htm http://www.moneyfactory.gov/uscurrency/damagedcurrency.html http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2008-07-07/news/28421383_1_currency-notes-bank-branches-exchange-facility http://www.rbi.org.in/home.aspx http://rbi.org.in/scripts/BS_PressReleaseDisplay.aspx?prid=29480 RBI to open a Swap Window to attract FCNR(B) Dollar Funds The Reserve Bank of India has been receiving requests from banks to consider a special concessional window for swapping foreign currency non-resident (banks) {FCNR(B)} deposits that will be mobilised as per the recent relaxations permitted by the Reserve Bank of India. It has been decided accordingly to offer such a window to the banks to swap the fresh FCNR (B) dollar funds, mobilised for a minimum tenor of three years and over at a fixed rate of 3.5 per cent per annum for the tenor of the deposit. Further, based on requests received from banks, it has also been decided that the current overseas borrowing limit of 50 per cent of the unimpaired Tier I capital may be raised to 100 per cent and that the borrowings mobilised under this provision can be swapped with Reserve Bank of India at the option of the Bank at a concessional rate of 100 basis points below the ongoing swap rate prevailing in the market. The above schemes will be open up to November 30, 2013. Reserve Bank of India reserves the right to close the scheme earlier with due notice. Detailed operational instructions and changes in the extant regulations will follow. Sabeeta Badkar Assistant Manager Press Release : 2013-2014/494 http://www.usmint.gov/contact_us/
