FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK [Circular No. 4741 I1*1? Cash Department 12 * 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 No. 498 describes a new counterfeit $5 Federal Reserve note as follows: "On the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Illinois; check letter * D ' ; plate number indistinct, but looks like 394; D. F. Houston, Secretary of the Treasury; John Burke, Treasurer of the United States; portrait of Lincoln. "This is a poorly etched production on a single piece of paper with a few ink lines on the face of the bill to imitate the silk fibre of the genuine. It should be readily detected, and is not deemed worthy of a more detailed description." Very truly yours, BENJ. STRONG Governor 1922 J
