FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK
I" Circular No. 7271
|_ June 17, 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. 579 describes a new
counterfeit as follows:
$20 Federal Reserve Note
On the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Ohio; series 1914; check letter " D " ; face
plate No. 176; back plate No. 950; FRANK WHITE, Treasurer of the United States;
A. W. MELLON, Secretary of the Treasury; portrait of CLEVELAND.
This is a well-executed counterfeit printed from photo-mechanical plates on two
pieces of paper between which a few threads have been distributed in imitation of
the silk fibre. The seal and serial number—specimen at hand numbered D29281373A
—are produced in dark blue ink, a shade deeper than in the genuine, while the back
coloring is light in tone.
Care should be exercised in handling notes of this denomination, as this counterfeit
is deceptive.
