(b4) FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF N E W YORK April 16, 1935, NEW COUNTERFEIT To Member Banks in the Second Federal Eeserve District and others concerned: At the request of the Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department, New York District, we are hereby notifying all member banks in the Second Federal Reserve District and others concerned of the appearance of a new counterfeit $10 Federal Reserve note on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York described by the Secret Service Division as follows: COUNTERFEIT $10 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE: Series of 1928; Check Letter 'G*; Face Plate No. 39; Back Plate No. 177; Serial No. B60115733A; bearing facsimile signatures of W. 0. WOODS and A. W. MELLON, portrait of HAMILTON. This is a deceptive counterfeit printed on one piece of good bond paper, apparently from well-executed photo-mechanical plates. It will be noted that the cross-hatch background in the portrait of HAMILTON is very crude, and the Treasury seal is printed in dark green, noticeably unlike the genuine notes of this series. It is also noted that silk threads appear to be impressed in this counterfeit note to resemble the silk fibre distributed in genuine currency. Extreme care should be exercised in handling notes of this denomination, as this counterfeit is calculated to deceive the experienced handler of currency. Detecting one of these counterfeits you should forward it with all available information to the office of the United States Secret Service having jurisdiction in your territory. Such offices are located in the Post Office Buildings at Syracuse and Buffalo, New York, and Newark, New Jersey, and in the Customhouse Building in New York City. Gporge L. Harrison, Governor.
