FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK No. 1080, January 13, 1932TI [ Circular Reference to Circular Xo. 1078J Member of Federal Advisory Council To all Member Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District: At its meeting on January 14, 1932, the hoard of directors of this hank redesignated KOBERT H. TREMAN, President of The Tompkins County National Bank, Ithaca, N. Y., as a member of the Federal Advisory Council from the Second Federal Reserve District to serve during the year 1932. J. H. CASE, Chairman of the Board. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK (N) January 19, 1932. NEW COUNTERFEIT To each Bank and Trust Company in the Second Federal Reserve District and others concerned: The Treasury Department in its circular letter No, 657, dated January 18, 1932, describes a new counterfeit as follows: $10 FEDERAL RESERVE VOTE On the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, New York; series of 1928 A; check letter "C"; face plate No. 27; back plate number missing; W. 0. Woods, Treasurer of the United States; A. W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury; portrait of Hamilton. This is a dangerous counterfeit printed from intaglio plates on one sheet of paper of good quality. On the face the finely shaded lines in the portrait are scratchy and harsh, resembling a pen-and-ink drawing. The check letter on the left side of the note has been omitted from its proper position below the upper left corner numeral. Seal and numbering are embossed heavily in dark green, the impression being visible from the back of the note. The back is executed in pale green, unlike the coloring of the seal and numbering, and in the curled leaf ornamentation to the right a^d left of the denominational legend at the bottom of the note, three tiny balls varying in size have been omitted by the engraver. The same defect is revealed in the sidewalk curbing to the left of the automobile, the line being incomplete from the corner lamp post to the motor car. On the face, under the superimposed S figure encircling the upper corner numerals, the perpendicular shading lines do not appear in the counterfeit. Close scrutiny of the portrait should enable wary handlers of currency to detect this counterfeit. The Treasury Department, Secret Service Division, requests that banks and others to whom counterfeit Government obligations may be presented endeavor when practicable to obtain information regarding their source and history. Any information of this kind should be forwarded to the Treasury Department, Secret Service Division, Customs House, New York, N. Y. George L. Harrison, Governor.
