I was confused by this as well, since the only reference in the Reg I could find to aggregating the day's total deposits was when using the Large Deposit Exception, not a case-by-case hold. However, the following verbiage is contained in the model notice when describing case-by-case holds, which implies the $100 availability is not per item (or type):
From the C-4 Model Notice (referring to deposits of local and non-local checks):
"If you deposit both categories of checks, $100 from the checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit, not $100 from each category of check."
If a more clear cut answer can be found in the Reg I would appreciate the cite!
