Date Released Mail By Other Departments (84) FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK March 26, 1938, KEW COIMTEKF^IT To Member Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District and Others Concerned: In a letter dated March 24, 1938, the [Treasury Department, Secret Service Division, describes a certain new counterfeit as follows: |10 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE On the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, New York; 1934 Series; check letter "I"; face plate No, 85; back plate No. 428; serial No, C53810356A(on all specimens received to date); W. A, Julian, Treasurer of the United States; Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury; portrait of Hamilton, The serial numbering begins improperly with the letter J3 instead SL. Hi. On 6c'nu-ine notos of this type, the serial numbering begins with B, which letter appears in larger size inside the Federal Reserve Bank seal on the left side of the note above the Treasurer's signature, indicating this particular Federal Reserve district. The large word TEN which overprints the Treasury seal is outlined too heavily. In the portrait the hair lines at the top edge of Hamilton's forehead are barely visible, and the line forming the bridge of the nO3e is broken near the tip. This production is printed from photo-etched plates of fair workmanship on one sheet of bond paper of good quality. Care should be exercised in handling notos of this denomination and variety. The Treasury Department has requested that any counterfeits which come to the attention of banks or others be forwarded with all available information to the office of the United States Secret Service having jurisdiction in their territory. Offices of the Secret Service are located in Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse and New York City, Now York, and in Newark, New Jersey. George L. Harrison, President.
