tellers Is by no means Infallible Is shown by numerous experiences he has had Only one which is typical of all the rest will be retold here A counterfeit of a note known as the Pittsburg hundred had Just been put In circulation Mr Drummond who was then chief of the tho secret service had se secured secured secured cured one of these counterfeits and hap happening happening happening pening to can call on the president of a 8 big I New York bank showed him im ilm the note re remarking remarking remarking marking Pretty good counterfeit You bank peo people people will wUl have to keep your eys ey a open for fot forIt forit It It would fool me rae all right said the bank hank president but Just lust try it on our resolving receiving teller tellei It will wUl never get Hes Hos one of the best you ever saw The teller and Chief Drummond wei were strangers to each other The chief chanced to have In his pocks pocket a genuine note of this issue When he got before the cage window 1 to t try out the teller he passed in the genuine note saying Give small bills bUla please The teller took a casual glance at It an and tossed it back with the remark No sir its one of those counterfeit Pittsburg hundreds Then the chief laid on the slab the coun coui counterfeit note of this issue Theres one of the counterfeits sat sal said he heThe The teller offered to cash this pote note n re harking Youre one of these smart fellows The chief took both counterfeit and genuine gen gei genuine note back to the president and r re reported reported ported the result of the test on his intal Infallible lible teller The president then went back to the tho te tel tel tellers lers krs cage with Chief Drummond and it In Introduced hi traduced d him Said the teller It was a trick note pote he hooff offered oft red me an ant anI and andI I I t was busy anyway at the dl not have much time to spare But that particular bank teller neve never spoke to Chief Drummond In talking with a Times reporter on subject Chief Drummond said Wate anyone my any one when he Is trying to the ho genuineness of a banknote make nake any difference whether ha he is ex ea experienced in handling largo large sums Bums of mon monsy money sy iy or not The first thing he will do i Is I reel feel it carefully Now that Is the mos moe most useless seless test In the world you can neve detect bad money in that way There hav havo been and perhaps still are some chea cheap Italian counterfeiters who use a poor pa paper per er that feels like canton flannel but tha that determine the tho spuriousness of th tb the bill because any paper money that ha has seen soen long and active use will have ex exactly setly the tho same rough and flimsy feel fee Then Hien there thero are ere other people who alway always hold a doubtful note up to the light As Ad Ashem Ask them hem why and they th Y will say with th thi the assurance Why to see if I there ar an are pinholes in it That will show that it haLeen ha has been Leen een accepted at a bank and ard again passed passe passed Into nto circulation s good enough proof for or me that the note is genuine Childish Is the only word that will de describe scribe this latter test There are a num numer number numer ber er of ot ways by which a spurious note cat can easily be detected but before these ar an are described It will be necessary to go bad back bador bador for or a moment into banknote history Pre Previous flous to 1891 all paper used In printing paper aper money had two parallel silk threads me one red and one blue running lengthwise through tho the paper but the counterfeiter counterfeiters soon loon devised a method to Imitate this They hey secured an onion or Japanese paper pape the thickness of that used by th the government They would smear one sheet shee with rith a mixture of cream dream and milk then ther theia thera 10 a the two silk threads across It and up upon on n this superimpose a second sheet This paper was then ironed ant an anthe and the he two practically became as one sheet saving leaving no trace of 0 having been pasted to together gether ether It If the counterfeiter count wished t to tc tomake make lake the note look aa as though it had beer been long ong in Circulation all he needed to do was wa steep the paper In coffee cottee before the tl oper tion allon and put the finished note through t a a of artificial handling Counter felt ait elt money thus treated would fool any anyone one ne but the rare rato expert With merely these threads in the theote theote note ote the government had little security In T it this same year 1891 11 j a committee of ol w ch I 1 was a n member was wa appointed investigate the bureau of o engraving and tinting and suggest reforms At one of ol the he 10 sessions while listening to tha tia re r marks larks of Mr Crane the paper now how senator from front Massachusetts I happened happen to have in hI my hand a pencil with ith blue lead In one end enl and red In Iq the h hother other then Lher dl I 1 made i a little litte crisscross marks on a pad fl t gave me a hint I passed paled the marked paper to Mr Ir Crane and asked I Would it be possible for you to weave I a per paper with short blue and andred al andred d dred red silk woven Into the paper In some such fashion l Crane said that he thought it could be bedone bedone bedone done The result Is the paper r that is still sUll used I This has never been successfully counterfeited coun counterfeited counterfeited and is the greatest safeguard I against the acceptance of spurious money I Another little aside Previous to this both sides of the banknotes had been en entirely entirely covered with engravings I recommended recommended mended that as much open space pace be left lefton lefton lefton on the bill as possible and at the same time leave no po doubt about the convenient ent determination of the denomination My Idea In this was to teare plain white surfaces in which the and blUe e shreds of would appear Pick up and at a casual glance the silk sUk threads seem to be a 0 part par of the printing Look at them careful care carefully and if the note Is genuine you ou will th in it invariably variably find tind that a number of tt th the threads have loose ends which project beyond the surface Some of the threat threads may even have a loose end on one aid side and a loose end on the other A loos loo end of a silk thread is conclusive proc proof that the bill is genuine The bill known as the Windom Two Twi was the first note Issued on the new pep pa pe paper p Pill per r and with the large open spaces J It I took the place of ot the Hancock Two I In Ii all bills Issued previous to the Windon Two the two parallel silk threads mus mu mut still sUlL be looked for fat but there are re ver ery few of these old notes still In circulation tion The process of counterfeiting bills hn ha hail also aso changed The Jat steel engraves note that I know of was made mado by the nc nd BIddell In 1893 It was if a C all sll allver ver vel certificate with a Decatur head Thre Three thousand of these notes were issues issued The They were hand engraved on steel and were the best counterfeits I ever saw Nowa Nowadays Nowadays Nowadays days counterfeiting is done by the vari various van vanous ous DUS photomechanical processes The grea great stumbling blocks of at the photomechanical counterfeiter r are the seal denomination number and series number which appear In blue on the face of the note Most counterfeiters know enough t to ti reproduce separately the tho denomination number and the series number with a t rubber r stamp so that thatto to the ordinary per pei p persOn l lson son these nr re little protection What ni n ne must look lo k tc te is the seal also done I Ih Ii blue ink in the genuine note and of o course also In the counterfeit The usua usual counterfeiter is obliged to reproduce this thi seal by brush work This makes mak s a ver very vera and clumsy substitute fo foi for forthe the governments work worle and should be easIly easily ily Uy detected About 6 5 per cent of the counterfeiter ire are sufficiently clever to reproduce th the seal by engraving processes When Then this thi latt latter r method is used the only way t to t detect it is by comparison with a n sea seal engraved on a note known to be genuIne he me But a man need never lose him himself himself self in these thes intricacies of engraving am sac and the various processes of engraving there then are ire always the threads woven n in th thi the paper as nR an infallible guide When Then it comes to small coined curren currency cy y there Is more difficulty In bad jad money The usual method Is to ring rini rinia ringa a i a coin Now that Is a thing I novel never think of doing While the greatest car care cars carIs Is s exercised In the various mints to pre prevent prevent vent the Issuance of improperly coined money noney yet Imperfect pieces will si slip sIli through A genuine piece of money ma may sound lound like a piece of lead If it happen happens to o have a blister in it On the othe other land hand a tL counterfeit coin struck from i 8 t piece of brass will ring so as to fo too toomy my lay but an anex ar expert rt The latter knows know that hat brass has a much sharper ring thin that silver diver t There Is also a certain e about a genuine coin which the plated spurious coin never has It is a deep olid solid lustre which can instantly be ap the moment a solid piece o oliver of ci silver liver is put beside a piece of ot plated metal whether It be coin or table ware The ho rho plated stuff has a flash that is a as from the real silver as tinsel Is 5 3 from gold When the coins have been struck from brass rass and silver sUver plated it is easy to tell the ho deception de eption by rubbing rub the t e coin ba bo between tween the tho fingers silver ted ed by an nn electric ele bath Dath has not hot the sharp f that surfaces of a minted coin have ave 1 By far the tha greater part of the spurioUs coin oln Is cast from plaster of at ports parts molds Occasionally these coins coing are made of solid liver ilver The only way wa to detect these theo theoS S i by b y the th e weight vv as a molded coin though It I may m y be of the exact of the genuine minted coin is never of the th fame ame arpe weight The Tho J process eSIl 01 or tamping coin out of silver sheets re is requires quires ulrea the pressure of many tons to the square inch which compresses the metal and gives it more weight to the same bulk As most counterfeiters hide Jude them silves in tenements and in order to cover their tracks make frequent shifts of res residence residence it can easily be seen that a heavy hea and complicated stamping press could not pot be part of their t outfit although once 1 I caught a man with a drop press In his cellar and a screw press In the bedroom of his tenement His Ills de do defense defense tense was that I put up a 0 Job on him hint The Tho Judge j dge remarked rem that any man v vo o could have such ponderous machinery spirited into his home needed a guardian and should be sent to Jail for his own protection Very few are the counterfeiters who use real silver sliver In this process the cost costIs costI i coined dol dollar dollar I Is SO 80 cents approximately per lar The Tho usual alloy allo of antimony and other metals is so 0 cheap that face I value of spurious coin costs costa about 9 The chief difficulty ty is to get got his product on the market and ho he ices not care re how long it keeps its Us acm sem alance blance to the genuine currency The rhe counterfeiter sells it as ad a raule for 20 1 D cents on the dollar This first trans transaction transaction transaction action is usually made m de with men who merely act ac as The ahoy ers or men who put it in actual pay as high as 40 cents on the dollar The silver coating sometimes wears off within hours but butas butas butas as the counterfeiter has already made his profit this Is no concern of ot his The chief ended his homily on cOunter cunter felting with these reassuring words I dont doht nelleva there th
