FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK - Cash Department T Circular No. 896*1 L December 21, 1928J New Counterfeit To all Banks, Trust Companies and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District: The Treasury Department in its circular letter No. 619 describes a new counterfeit as follows: $5 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE: On the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Illinois; 1914 series; check letter " E " ; face plate No. 945; back plate number indistinct, probably 3755; Frank White, Treasurer of the United States; A. W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury; portrait of Lincoln. This counterfeit is a photographic production printed on two sheets of thin bond paper between which silk threads have been distributed in imitation of the genuine. This note is brittle and the coloring on both face and back should attract immediate attention, the dull appearance of the portrait and the smudgy green tone on the back being the most noteworthy characteristics. The numbering is faintly impressed and apparently printed on the face with the complete design. This counterfeit should not deceive the careful handler of currency. Specimen at hand bears serial No. G51911125B. GEORGE L . HARRISON, Governor.
