Forgive my lack of knowledge of character encoding. I usually use

know why. This message might be sent in raw-text, if this is an

But I was wondering whether there was any index somewhere (say, online,
or that it could be checked) the dates and the amounts. For instance,
the Federal Reserve of New York published recently due to the pandemic
that they would be buying treasure bonds in a certain amount and they
reported how much they had bought each day they did.
Is money printing being published somewhere?
