FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF N E W YORK „ . ^ Cash Department TCircular No. 4271 [December 27, 192lJ New Counterfeit $5 Federal Reserve Note To all Banks, Trust Companies and Savings Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District: The Treasury Department in its circular letter N o . 484 describes a new counterfeit $5 Federal Reserve note as follows: " O n the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago ; check letter ' C ; plate number indecipherable; D . F . Houston, Secretary of the Treasury; John Burke, Treasurer of the United States; portrait of Lincoln. " This is a very poorly executed zinc etched production on a very cheap paper, in the surface of which a few silk threads have been pressed. The bill is so poor that it should not deceive the ordinarily careful handler of money, and a more detailed description of it is deemed unnecessary. " Very truly yours, B E N J . STRONG, Governor
