FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK [Circular No. 722] [.April 22, 1926J Cash Department New Counterfeit To all Banks, Trust Companies and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District: The Treasury Department in its circular letter No. 576 describes a new counterfeit as follows: $10 United States Note (Buffalo Head) Series 1901; check letter " D " ; face plate number indistinct; back plate number not discernible; H. V. Speelman, Register of the Treasury; Frank White, Treasurer of the United States; portraits of Lewis and Clark.

The specimen at hand bears serial number E 595 70136. This counterfeit should be readily detected by careful handlers of currency. Very truly yours, B E N J . STRONG, Governor. • Reference to Federal Reserve Bank of New York Circular No. 708.
