FEDERAL RESERVE BANK

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.

Governor.
