The Treasurer must enter, in suitable books kept for that purpose, a record of all paid and cancelled coupons of the several classes of coupon bonds issued by the state and all coupon bonds which the state may hereafter issue, such record to be made as soon as practicable after such payment and cancellation. The Examiner of Public Accounts, from time to time, shall examine the cancelled bonds and coupons and shall compare such bonds and coupons with the record made thereof, as required by this section, and with the interest and redemption ledger kept by the Treasurer. Immediately after such examination, the Treasurer and the Examiner of Public Accounts shall then destroy such bonds and coupons, and the state examiner shall certify to the fact of the destruction of such bonds and coupons on the aforesaid record required to be kept by this section.
