SLAs trace their roots to 1831 and the first such organization founded in Pennsylvania (see the FDC for more details). Modern SLAs in the US came about during the Great Depression following passage of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932. With the Federal funds the Act made available, Federally-chartered SLAs were established across the country. What is a Savings and Loan Association? An SLA is a financial institution that provides banking and home loan services. The "Savings and Loan" stamp features three classic US coins: an Indian Head ("Buffalo") nickel, a Barber dime and an Indian Head cent. The 18-Cent stamp was designed by Donald M. Hadin. 1981 Savings and Loan Association Stamp - Enlarged To Show Coins 1981 Savings and Loan Association First Day Cover (FDC) - Fleetwood Indian Head Cent Indian Head Nickel Barber Dime (Coin Images: PCGS CponFacts.)
