For now, the issue of paper currency is considered settled. The question of what to do next had been answered. The university would prepare its research program, and the finance ministry would eventually have to prepare for an entirely new currency system.

Announcing the project now would accomplish very little. Worse, it would create problems that did not need to exist in the first place.
If people learned that the government intended to introduce paper money, some would immediately begin speculating. Those who were bold might begin spreading rumours that the government was short of precious metal.
Foreign governments would certainly pay attention too.
