F E D E R A L RESERVE B A N K O F N E W YORK [ Circular No. 373 [ M a y 17, 1921 '] Department New Counterfeit $5 Federal Reserve Note To All Banks, Trust Companies and Savings Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District: Your attention is directed to another new counterfeit $5 Federal Reserve note described by the Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department in its circular letter No. 466 as follows: "On the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago; check letter *B'; John Burke, Treasurer of the United States; D . F . Houston, Secretary of the Treasury; series of 1914; portrait of Lincoln. "This is a very poor counterfeit, printed from zinc-etched plates, on two pieces of thin paper, no attempt being made to imitate the silk fiber of the genuine note. The number of the specimen at hand is G39270862A. This bill should not deceive the ordinarily careful handler of money." Very truly yours, BENJ. STRONG Governor
