Redemption of confiscated prohibited foreign currency is discretionary, but the discretion must be exercised judiciously on the facts rather than rejected mechanically because the currency is prohibited. Where no material establishes a previous violation and the imposed penalty has been paid, refusal to permit redemption requires reconsideration.
