Burgett, Chief Researcher (The Society of Paper Money Collectors has undertaken the task of revising and bringing up to date the "Obsolete Note Listings by States" as published in The Numismatist during the period of 1922-1936. These original listings are still regarded as standard references on the subject of obsolete currency, and some of them have been reprinted in book form. They stand as a tribute to their author, David C. Wismer, a numismatic pioneer of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, who died in 1949 at the age of 92.) FOREWORD The State of Oklahoma, part of which had been designated in the 1830s as "Indian Territory" was originally a portion of the land included in the Louisiana Purchase. The five Indian Nations of the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks and Seminoles were assigned clearly defined areas with- in the boundaries of present-day Oklahoma, after they had been removed from their homes in the South. In a short time, the white man's system of transacting business with paper currency came into being among these Indians, due partly to a shortage of any other type of circulating medium and partly to the Indian's innate distrust of the "white man's money." No record of the issurance of this Indian currency exists, with the possible exception of notes issued under the authority of acts enacted by tribal governing bodies, and all of the notes are scarce. Most are rare, and many are even unique. Discoveries of coal and oil in the eighties and the opening of the Cherokee Strip for white settlement brought an end to the Indian Nations as units of government, and this fascinating but fleeting period came to an end when Oklahoma entered the Union in 1907. In the preparation of this list, the researcher gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Mr. William J. Dale, Curator, Oklahoma Historical Society; Miss Theda Wammack, Curator, Creek Museum, Okmulgee; Mrs. C. Elizabeth Osmun; and Mr. J. B. Sureck. NAMES OF IMPRINTERS UNION BANK NOTE.

Called "Currency of the North American Indian," it has received first place awards at the following shows: Penn-Ohio Spring Show at Dayton; Central States Numismatic Association at Indianapolis; Evansville (Ind.) Coin Club; and Illinois Numismatic Society at Centralia. This exhibit culminates many years of patient collect- ing and deep research into paper money of which perhaps only six specimens of a given type are known to exist. WHOLE NO. 21 Paper Money PAGE 11 Federal Reserve Bank Notes - Series of 1929 By Joseph Persichetti © Joseph Persichetti, 1967 Introduction The issuance of Federal Reserve Bank Notes was initially authorized when the Federal Reserve System was established by the Federal Reserve Act of December 23, 1913. This act provided that after two years from its passage and for 20 years thereafter any National Bank desiring to retire the whole or any part of its circula- tion might do so by the sale of those bonds securing the circulation. Provision was made for the purchase of these bonds by the Federal Reserve Banks. By de- positing these bonds with the Treasurer of the United States, the banks could issue Federal Reserve Bank Notes against these obligations. The Federal.. Reserve Banks could also convert any two percent bonds against which no circulation was outstanding into securities bearing the circulating privilege. Thus, the original purpose of these notes was to eventually replace National Bank Notes. Ironically, the issuance of Federal Reserve Bank Notes has been only occasional and as a temporary ex- pedient in times of emergency. Small quantities were first issued in 1916 under the Federal Reserve Act in response to the business recession of 1914 and 1915. This crisis was short-lived and dis- appeared in the increased business activity brought on by World War I. In 1918, notes were again issued under the Pittman Act of April 23, 1918, to replace $270,- 232,722 in Silver Certificates withdrawn from circulation due to the melting of silver dollars for export to India and for domestic coinage. Great Britain's embargo on linen cuttings during World War I created a shortage of linen in the United States and necessitated printing the entire series of 1918 on 100 percent cotton paper. Unfortunately, this paper possessed poor wearing quali- ties, making notes of this issue scarce in choice condi- tion, particularly the higher denominations. Notes of the first issue are all scarce. The First Issue of Small Size Federal Reserve Bank Notes From the beginning of 1933, serious developments in the banking situation in some sections of the country were indicated by large-scale withdrawals of deposits from banks in those sections. Many of these withdrawals represented the transfer of deposit accounts from banks in which depositors had lost confidence to other in- stitutions. However, after the first week in February, withdrawals were to an increasing extent in the form of currency and toward the end of the month included a considerable amount of gold. Gold withdrawals rep- resented in part domestic hoarding and in part losses to foreign countries caused by the decline in dollar ex- change reflecting a movement of funds from the United States. As these movements developed, the pressure was felt not only by the weaker banks in any particular sec- tion but by banks throughout the country. The Federal Reserve Banks were obliged to issue large volumes of Federal Reserve Notes and at the same time reduce their reserves by paying out gold. The crisis culminated in the passage of the Emergency Banking Act of March 9, 1933, which in part authorized the Federal Reserve Banks to issue both Federal Reserve Notes and Federal Re- serve Bank Notes under less stringent collateral require- ments. Under this act Federal Reserve Banks were permitted to issue notes against the security of United States ob- ligations and commercial paper (notes, drafts, bills of exchange, and bankers' acceptances) deposited with the Treasurer of the United States. Notes could be issued up to 100 percent of the value of U. S. obligations de- posited and up to 90 percent of the estimated value of commercial paper deposited. The notes were first liens on the assets of the individual issuing banks and not obligations of the government, as are Federal Reserve Notes. However, to facilitate redemption, the liability of the issuing bank could be transferred to the govern- ment by the deposit of the appropriate amount of lawful money with the Treasurer of the United States. Since March, 1935, all outstanding Federal Reserve Bank Notes have become liabilities of the government in this man- ner. The various banks attempted to extinguish their liability for these notes as quickly as possible since there was a tax imposed on the outstanding balance. Also, the banks were required to pay all expenses incurred in their issuance. The following two excerpts from the Emer- gency Banking Act of March 9, 1933, should clarify the point: "Such circulating notes shall be subject to the same tax as is provided by the law for the circulating notes of national banks secured by 2 percent bonds of the United States. No such circulating notes shall be issued under this paragraph after the President has declared by procla- mation that the emergency recognized by the President by the proclamation of March 6, 1933, has terminated, unless such circulating notes are secured by deposits of bonds of the United States bearing the circulating privilege." "• .. the United States shall be reimbursed by the Federal Reserve Bank to which such notes are issued for all expenses necessarily incurred in connection with the pro- curing of such notes and all other expenses incidental to their issue, redemption, replacement, retirement and destruction." Authority for the issuance of Federal Reserve Bank Notes against obligations of the United States not bear- ing the circulating privilege or against eligible commer- cial paper was repealed by the Act of June 12, 1945. Since no interest-bearing securities carrying the circu- lating privilege have been outstanding since August 1. 1935, all authority to issue these notes ended in 1945. The Second Issue of Small Size Federal Reserve Bank Notes During the banking emergency of 1933, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced $910,530,000 in Federal Reserve Bank Notes; however, only $285,316,- PAGE 12 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 21 Table I NUMBER OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANK NOTES ISSUED Denomination 1st Issue 2nd Issue Total I ssued $5 12,997,100 12,262,900 25,260,000 $10 7,991,800 13,680,200 21,672,000 $20 4,369,200 9,094,800 13,464,000 $50 388,305 2,383,695 2,772,000 $100 332,005 1,275,995 1,608,000 000 of this amount was placed in circulation at the time. During World War II the remainder of this stockpile was released to help meet the large currency demands brought on by the war. On December 12, 1942, the Treasury began issuing these notes to the various Fed- eral Reserve Banks across the nation. Simultaneously, the banks deposited with the Treasurer of the United States an equal amount of lawful money. These de- posits immediately extinguished the liability of the in- dividual Federal Reserve Banks for these notes and pro- vided for their redemption by the Treasury as they be- came unfit. On June 12, 1945, this series was declared obsolete and has since been in the process of retirement. In January, 1966, there was still $68,000,000 in Federal Reserve Bank Notes outstanding on the Treasury's books, including $2,000,000 estimated to be irretrievably lost or destroyed. In addition, the district letter of the issuing bank is re- peated in four places on the face of each note along with the signatures of the Register of the Treasury (E. E. Jones), the Treasurer of the United States (W. O. Woods ), and the typographically printed signatures of two officers of the appropriate bank. Normally it would have required 18 months to pre- pare a new currency issue. However, the first shipment of notes from Washington was made to the New York Federal Reserve Bank on March 11, 1933, just two days after the authorizing legislation was enacted. It was necessary to procure the actual signatures of two officials of each bank in order to prepare the logotypes for the facsimile signatures that would appear on the notes of their respective banks. Telegrams were dispatched re- questing that the necessary specimens be furnished im- Table II NUMBER OF EACH DENOMINATION PRINTED FOR THE VARIOUS FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS Bank District Letter $5 $10 $20 $50 $100 Boston A 3,180,000 1,680,000 972,000 none none New York 2,100,000 5,556,000 2,568,000 636,000 480,000 Philadelphia 3,096,000 1,416,000 1,008,000 none none Cleveland 4,236,000 2,412,000 1,020,000 684,000 276,000 Richmond none 1,356,000 1,632,000 none 192,000 Atlanta 1,884,000 1,056,000 960,000 none none Chicago 5,988,00 3,156,000 2,028,000 300,000 384,000 St. Louis I-1 276,000 1,584,000 444,000 none none Minneapolis 684,000 588,000 864,000 132,000 144,000 Kansas City 2,460,000 1,284,000 612,000 276,000 96,000 Dallas 996,000 504,000 468,000 168,000 36,000 San Francisco 360,000 1,080,000 888,000 576,000 none Production of Small Size Federal Reserve Bank Notes Small size Federal Reserve Bank Notes were issued by all 12 Federal Reserve Banks in five denominations: $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100; however, not all banks issued every denomination. Table II indicates the number of notes of each denomination printed for the various Federal Reserve Banks. The central inscription on each note reads: NA- TIONAL CURRENCY SECURED BY UNITED STATES BONDS DEPOSITED WITH THE TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR BY LIKE DEPOSIT OF OTHER SECURITIES. The obligation is to the left of the portrait and states: THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF (city) (state) WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND (denomina- tion) DOLLARS. The redemption clause is to the right of the portrait superimposed upon a 20-millimeter, brown Treasury seal: REDEEMABLE IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES AT (the) UNITED STATES TREASURY OR AT THE BANK OF ISSUE. mediately. In order to avoid delay in supplying the west coast with initial stocks of the new notes, the signa- tures of the San Francisco bank officers were copied from documents on file in the Treasury. Notes bearing the signatures of the San Francisco bank officials were al- ready en route when the requested signature specimens arrived. Although some preliminary work was accom- plished while the legislation was being drafted, the ex- peditious production of these notes was accomplished by adapting blank National Bank Note stocks (series 1929) on hand at the time. Along with other classes of currency, National Bank Note stocks were printed from an intaglio engraved 12- subject plate on mill-wet paper. These notes have the denominational-portrait and uniform back design sys- tem characteristic of all small size currency. The paper in use at that time was composed of 75 percent linen and 25 percent cotton with small red and blue silk fibers uniformly dispersed throughout. Since World War II the paper used in the "wet" printing process has been a 50 percent linen-cotton mixture with distributed syn- WHOLE NO. 21 Paper Money PAGE 13 thetic fibers. The difference in the constituent propor- tions is particularly evident in the color and surface texture of the paper. Notes with the higher linen content are milk-white in color and have a smooth surface. Notes printed on the 50 percent linen-cotton paper are cream colored with a relatively coarse surface. As the various National Banks ordered notes, the re- quired number of stock sheets were withdrawn from storage, and the bank's name, location, charter number, and officers' (cashier & president) facsimile signatures were typographically added in black by means of a logo- type; this print, incidentally, washes off readily. At this time the serial numbers and an 18-millimeter Trea- sury seal were added in brown. By finishing the notes typographically, the need to maintain separate plates for each of the 7.600 National Banks then in existence was eliminated. Unfortunately, it was necessary to drasti- cally reduce the engraved borders of these notes in order to accommodate those banks with the longest names and still allow a margin of error in registering the stock paper during the final printing operation. National Bank Notes were finished and delivered in uncut, vertical strips of six notes. The serial numbers consisted of six digits, a prefix letter, and a suffix letter. Prior to May 27, 1933, each sheet was numbered in such a way that every note on the strip had an identical serial number except for the prefix letter, which prog- ressed down the sheet from "A" to "F." Federal Reserve Bank Notes were printed in basically the same manner as National Bank Notes, with only slight variations in the logotype used in the final print- ing operation and in the method of numbering the notes. The essential difference was the modification of the cen- tral statement on the National Bank Note stock by the typographic addition of the words: OR BY LIKE DE- POSIT OF OTHER SECURITIES. Other minor changes were the repetition of the Federal Reserve dis- trict letter four times on the face of each note rather than twice as with National Bank charter numbers,* and the use of a 20-millimeter Treasury seal instead of the 18-millimeter size used on other National Currency. Also, the facsimile signatures of the bank officers are those of the governor and the cashier or deputy governor (New York) or the assistant deputy governor (Chicago) or controller (St. Louis), rather than the signatures of the president and cashier as on National Bank Notes. The numbering of these notes was entirely different from the numbering of National Bank Notes at that MEW 1111110E-73111KA,W47 wg IIIIkeIDWIISTATIDSOF K41 IIII A -!..., J4 ,,, . ,-4,,sA THE C 4 FEDERAL RESERVE BANK -4 A -pp I r'---11E:5325:C=32nal=a1 111160.- T.

The unbelievable , answer appears in Table III. time; rather, it was similar to that of Federal Reserve Notes. The serial number consisted of eight digits, a prefix letter, and a suffix letter. The prefix letter on a note was always the same as the Federal Reserve district letter of the corresponding bank. The numbering ran sequentially down each sheet of six notes and in no case was there an issue large enough to require the use of a suffix letter other than "A."

Although uncut sheets of six notes are common in the National Bank Note series, there is only one known uncut sheet of Federal Reserve Bank Notes, this being of the $10 denomination and from the New York Fed- eral Reserve Bank B00000073A through B00000084A. National Bank Notes with the typographically printed portions erroneously inverted are known, and it is rea- sonable to expect that this error may exist in the Federal Reserve Bank Note series. Unfinished National Bank Note stock notes are also known; it is, of course, impos- sible to determine whether these were issued as National Bank Notes or Federal Reserve Bank Notes. Collecting Small Size Federal Reserve Bank Notes Aside from Gold Certificates, Federal Reserve Bank Notes are probably the scarcest of the six classes of paper money issued since July 10, 1929, when the first small size notes were placed into circulation. The peculiar feature that makes these notes elusive is the circumstances under which they were issued. Both re- leases occurred during times of national emergency not conducive to saving uncirculated currency, especially when the lowest denomination was a five dollar note. An- other contributing factor was the lack of collector interest and a market for small size currency, as evidenced by the sale of the Albert Grinnell collection of small size notes in November of 1946. In light of these considerations and since 49 bank- denomination combinations were issued in small quanti- ties over two relatively short periods, it is safe to assume 011•111111n11116.. • 4111111M1111•11 Top: $10 Federal Reserve Bank Note issued by the New York Federal Reserve Bank and signed by the governor and deputy governor.

The great similarity between the two types of notes exists because Federal Reserve Bank Notes were produced by typographically overprinting National Bank Note stocks available at the time. that a complete collection would be most difficult to assemble today in choice condition. This series cer- tainly includes many potential rarities available today at bargain prices. * After May 27, 1933 the charter number appeared four times on National Bank Notes.

Rotary Press Currency By Nathan Goldstein II (Continued from PAPER MONEY No. 19, Page 65.) There is much more to the production of our paper money at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing than meets the eye. The individual sheets of printed paper are handled by many, many people and checked a num- ber of times . . . so that when we find an unusual item, you can almost rest assured that there are not too many others like it! In our last installment we went into a rather prelimi- nary discussion of the rotary presses. We are rather skimming the surface of paper money production in this series, and it is hoped that at a later date a much more complete story can be given. As there is so much ground to cover, and so many of us fail to understand even the bare facts, it is felt that a rather quick run-through will be of help. We now know that the reverse side of the notes is printed first, this being accomplished on one of a pair of presses that print only this side of the note. This can be accomplished either on the single-plate rotary press or on the four-plate Giori press. You can easily check to see the type of press used for your note by the reverse plate number to be found in the lower right corner of the reverse. If the notes were printed on the single-plate press, then all of the notes in the run will have the same plate number. If there are four notes with different num- bers alternating throughout the run, then the Giori press was used. The sheets of printed paper are then sent across the room to the other pair of presses, and the face of the note is printed. The usage of these presses in pairs has Plate Printer Examining Sheet, Intaglio Currency Press PAGE 16 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 21 proven quite successful for an orderly flow of printed sheets. Then, too, the two different inks used (green for the face and black for the reverse) can be segregated on the correct side of the room to prevent the possibility of mixed or incorrect ink in the press. There has never been a color error on the face or reverse of the small size paper money. Many off colors are found, but these are the result of chemicals or other elements after pro- duction is completed). The first illustration shows one of the plate printers examining a printed sheet of 32-subject notes (in this case Silver Certificates). These sheets are routinely checked to be assured of proper ink, proper pressure on the press, and that the printing plate is in good press condition and not badly worn. If the inspector finds that the printing plate, or plates, is not in fit condition, the run will be stopped, the faulty plate removed, and another substituted. After the sheets have been printed on both sides, they are moved to the overprinting section. Here they are stacked on the pallets awaiting press duty. The over- printing press will print in two colors: first, the green seal and the green serial numbers; and then the black signatures of the Treasurer of the United States (on the left side) and the Secretary of the Treasury (on the right side), the series designation just to the right of the vignette, the four numerals in each of the four positions on the note to designate the district, and last the Federal Reserve Seal on the left side just above the left serial number. All of these overprinted items are printed simultaneously. The serial number counters are preset and carefully checked at the start of a run. A diagram is laid out to tell the printer the starting numbers for each of the 32 positions within the sheet, the correct prefix and suffix, as the prefix is set by the issuing district (A thru L), WHOLE NO. 21 Paper Money PAGE 17 while the four numbers 1 through 12 also denote the district. The printing schedule is determined by the amount of notes for the particular district that has been ordered by that Federal Reserve Bank. These notes are printed on order only and in the quantities ordered. The requirements of each district vary greatly, and it is a half sheets are two notes wide and eight notes high. These sheets are much easier to examine, and it is here that the notes are carefully scrutinized. The second illus- tration shows an examination section quite like the ones in operation today; however, the sheets being examined in the illustration are the flat press, 18-subject sheets. rather simple matter to have the notes available, printed on the face and reverse, and only lacking the overprint- ing for the proper district. This can be accomplished on short order, although it is rarely necessary. The Federal Reserve Banks normally carry an adequate sup- ply of notes in reserve, and it is often a good while after a change in series designation that the new series appears. After the sheets have been overprinted and properly stacked in the numerical sequence and so marked, they are taken to the guillotines, where a sheet is divided in half, making two sections of 16 notes each. These When a faulty sheet is found, two actions can be taken. The entire sheet can be removed, or the individual note or notes can be marked in the lower right corner with a red crayon or a red square plastic tab. If there is an area to be removed, it has been found easier to re- move the entire sheet than the notes. When there is an improper inking, or a paper fold that makes an offset onto the next sheet, several sheets are completely removed to prevent passing faulty work. The ability of the highly skilled operators to spot minute variations in an instant is amazing. From the hundreds of millions of notes PAGE 18 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 21 that go forth from the Bureau, the number of minor flaws that are found in the notes is amazingly small. During this inspection, when a full sheet is rejected, a sheet of star notes is inserted in its position. If in- dividual notes are to be removed, this operation is per- formed next. The sheets of 16 are then taken to the guillotines and cut into the individual notes. These stacks of note sheets, etc., are separated into units of 100, and markers are inserted to preserve this count. These stacks of notes are then given to another in- spector. Here the final inspection is given and the run of numbers verified. Where a note has been marked for removal or when one is found that was not caught be- fore, the faulty note is removed and a star note inserted in the proper order. In this manner the run of 100 num- bers will be in proper order. After the proper count has been hand verified and the inspector is satisfied, a band is placed around the 100 notes. This bundle is placed in a box with the proper serials noted on the end on pre-printed slips. The box holds 4,000 notes, each in 100-note units. The entire box is then taken to an electric counter which can verify the contents of the 100- pack in a few seconds. This is the final count and verification. The third illustration shows the final act with these 4,000 notes, as the box is taken to the banding machine. The box of notes is visible at the right of the illustration. A pre-printed slip showing the serial numbers within the "brick" of 4,000 is placed on a wooden block on one end of the run and a plain wooden block on the other. Two bands of steel are run around the notes, the tension is greatly increased, and the steel bands are sealed off. This "brick" is then wrapped in a kraft paper, and an- other slip is inserted on the end to show the run of serial numbers and the date of completion. It is finally packed within a series of shelves on rollers in the proper order of the entire run of notes being processed. These notes are then ready for transfer to the holding vaults at the Bureau prior to transfer to the Treasury Department. (To Be Continued) Notes on Foreign Notes LEBANON-A new 5 pound note is being publicized for the fact that it bears a 3,000-year-old Phoenician curse. A King Ahiram had the curse inscribed on his tomb, condemning anyone who broke into his coffin. In addi- tion to this inscription reproduced in the world's first alphabet, the note bears Greek pillars, a Persian bull's head and a Roman bridge to symbolize great eras in Lebanon's long history. The 10 pound note in the series depicts Syrian ruins a millenary old in a modern Armen- ian village. INDONESIA—President Sukarno is still top dog in this country if a new series of notes is any criterion. The Bank of Indonesia released 11 new notes in denomina- tions of one, five, ten and 25 sen, and one, two and a half, five, ten, 25, 50, and 100 rupiah. The rupiah notes bear his portrait on the obverse. The one sen pictures a native farmer; the five and ten sen, a woman of the Indonesian armed forces; the 25 sen, a soldier. SOUTH AFRICA—New notes carrying the portrait of Jan van Riebeck were recently introduced into this country's economy. The ten rand note is worth $14 in U. S. funds. The current one and two rand notes will eventu- ally be withdrawn from circulation, and the two rand will not be replaced. BRAZIL—The astronomical denomination of 10,000 cruzeiros now appears on a Brazilian bank note for the first time. The multicolored obverse of the new note pictures Santos Dumont, an early Brazilian air pioneer. The blue reverse shows one of his flights. Both depic. tions are similar to those used for many years on this country's air mail stamps. These new notes bear the unmistakable mark of the American Bank Note Co.—the intricate, old-fashioned, geometric lathe work. TURKEY-A new denomination of 20 lirasi appears among the paper money of this country. The note fea- tures a portrait of Mustafa Kemal, founder of the Re- public, on its obverse, while the reverse shows statuary and a temple-like building. ITALY—On Sept. 30, 1966, the emergency circulating checks in this country's currency were declared illegal. Because of a hoarder-inspired shortage of 500 lire silver coins and the government withdrawal of notes of the same denomination earlier in the year, an acute shortage arose. Businessmen (and numismatists) turned to bank money orders as substitutes. Although these orders were made out in the name of a specific person and were not to be circulated after the first endorsement, they did circulate as "money." More than 250 different types have been recorded thus far. Marcon's New Papal States Catalog SPMC member Alfredo P. Marcon of Rome has writ- ten and published an elaborate catalog of the paper money used by the Papal States between Dec. 5, 1785, and March 23, 1798. (See PAPER MONEY No. 19, page 78.) On the 104 pages of the 8 x 11 1/2 book, Mr. Marcon describes and illustrates the use of this money, the various series, dates and signatures. These notes were, oddly enough, receipts for items turned into a pawn shop oper- ated under the auspices of the Papal States. They were transferable from one person to another, backed by the item in pawn rather than by the security of a govern- ment. The catalog of this unique type of paper money is available from Mr. Marcon at Via dei Coronari, 112, Rome, Italy, for $7.20 plus postage. SPMC at TNA A luncheon has been set up for members of SPMC at the Texas Numismatic Association's convention at the Baker Hotel, Dallas, Tex., on Saturday, April 15, at 12 noon in the English Room. It is hoped that many will attend and bring material for trading. A breakfast was set up at first but due to several conflicts, the meeting was changed to a luncheon. TNA welcomes all SPMC members. WHOLE NO. 21 Paper Money PAGE 19 Confederate Money A Survey of the Source and Use of Paper By Everett K. Cooper Organized historical information concerning the source and use of paper in the printing of Confederate States of America money has not yet been compiled in detail. This information is undoubtedly available from many sources and awaits only the time and effort required to organize and assemble. However, scattered bits of in- formation that are readily available along with the known use of certain identifiable paper allows for some analysis and deduction. As with most of the materials and supplies required by the embryo government, the prime sources were located north of the Mason-Dixon line. The Confederacy, to issue its initial supply of paper money, used the meager paper stocks on hand augmented by a modest amount purchased from these Northern sources. Purchasing agents were promptly dispatched to England with long lists of needs, including bank note paper for the cur- rency. For example, the printing firm of Leggett, Kea- tinge and Ball (which ceased to exist under that name as early as March, 1862) used a greater variety of paper types than any other Confederate currency printer. This included a watermark (FIVE) not used by any other printer of government currency. Plain Paper Plain paper, that without any identifiable watermark, color, fiber, or other peculiar quality, was the most widely used paper type and was in use over the widest period. This would tend to reinforce the conclusion that it origi- nated at a domestic Southern paper mill or mills. The largest mill in the Confederacy was that operated by William S. Whiteman at Manchester, Tennessee. This mill is reported to have supplied paper for Confederate notes and bonds.' The output of the mill must have been large, as it also supplied newsprint, book, Manila and wrapping papers. Red Fiber Paper The principal pre-Civil War paper mill producing bank note paper was the Ivy Mill in Pennsylvania. Located near Chester and operated for many years by the Willcox family, this mill was devoted to the manufacture of this type of paper by old-time, hand methods. In 1860, this mill operating under the name of James M. Willcox & Company was supplying the leading bank note engraving and printing firms.2 This included the American Bank Note Company of New York, which operated an office in New Orleans. It was this New Orleans branch, changing its name to Southern Bank Note Company, which printed some of the early Confederate issues on the Ivy Mill's paper. On July 15, 1861, Dr. W. P. Reyburn, represent- ing Secretary of the Treasury C. G. Memminger, recom- mended that the Southern Bank Note Company give the lithographic firm J. Manouvrier 10,000 sheets of bank note paper for lithographing notes. 3 However, none of the work produced by Manouvrier for the Confederate government used this fiber paper. In October, 1861, the Southern Bank Note Company was seized as enemy property and its materials dis- tributed. Probably in this way this paper was obtained and used by Leggett, Keatinge and Ball. In March, 1862, Mr. Leggett was dropped from the firm and its successor, Keatinge and Ball, produced one note from the remain- ing paper of this type. It is known that the Willcox com- pany declined to supply the South directly with this paper, but according to Capers 8 it was obtained through a Baltimore source. This probably augmented the supply obtained by the Richmond lithographers from New Or- leans. The use of fiber paper was discontinued very early in the war, indicating the unavailability of this source of supply. See Table I for a summary of Confederate notes using this paper. Watermark Paper The use of watermarked paper commenced with the currency dated September 2, 1861, and continued as part of the paper supply through the currency issued in 1863. The largest printing of paper currency, which occurred in 1864, did not use such paper. A total of eight different watermarks (see Table II) are found, of which four are identifiable as originating in English paper mills. Obviously the "CSA" watermark was designed specifically for currency, as a watermark appears on each of the notes printed on the sheet. The intent was to make counterfeiting more difficult. The increased effectiveness of the blockade and the reduced number of open Confederate ports accounts for the dis- appearance of the imported, watermarked paper in 1864. In fact, the only currency issued in the South in 1864 to be printed on a watermarked paper was that issued by the state of Florida. This paper bears a mark of "W. T. & Co.." which is suspected of being the product of a small Southern mill. Two of the watermarked papers are positively identifi- able as being from English mills. The watermark "J. Whatman 1862" is the mark of the most famous mill in the world. It traces its history back many years prior to the Civil War and still continues in use today. In 1859, the property and watermark of the Whatman firm were sold to W. R. Balston Ltd., Maidstone, England, who continue today and still use the Whatman mark. The date "1862" was included in the mark because the English Excise Duties Act of 1794 put a tax on paper produced in England. However, for paper exported, exemption from the tax was allowed provided the date of production was included in the watermark. This exemption requirement was repealed in 1811, and the tax itself repealed in 1861. but apparently the paper makers continued the practice of dating the paper. Balston sup- [/ 21 22 23 21. 25 26 27 31 PAGE 20 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 21 plied a small quantity of bank note paper for the cur- rency issued by the state of North Carolina (January 1, 1863) with a watermark "J. Whatman 1864." The Hodgkinson & Co. Wookey Hole mill at Wells, England, was a large producer of bank note paper in the mid- nineteenth century and continues in existence today. The amount of this paper reaching the Confederacy was ap- parently less than that coming from the Balston Company. An interesting bit of history regarding the watermark paper with "CSA" in block letters is on record to indicate that it was English made paper. The blockade runner Bermuda out of Liverpool was captured on April 27, 1862, by the USS Mercedita, and part of its cargo was "many reams of fine, white bank note paper watermarked `CSA' intended obviously for Confederate States bank notes and bonds."• The Federal government used some of this captured paper to print specimen backs of United States fractional currency. It was an ironic twist of fate that the Federal government should use Confederate-pur- chased paper, but perhaps it was also indicative of the tight supply of this type paper even in the North. Un- printed sheets of this watermarked paper (CSA block letters) found their way into many hands as souvenirs of the great conflict. (See Table III). Either Thomas Ball or Keatinge, of the lithograph firm of Keatinge and Ball, made a government-sponsored trip thru the lines prior to May, 1862, to New York to obtain materials and skilled help for printing the currency. Perhaps the most tangible evidence of this secret trip is in the appearance of currency printed by Keatinge & Ball with the "NY" watermark. Two other watermarks "FIVE" and "TEN" also used by Keatinge & Ball may have been obtained on this trip north. The scarcity of specimens with these watermarks and their use only on 1861 notes by the Confederate government leads to the suspicion of a source in the North. A survey of the rela- tive amount of watermarked paper used as evaluated by the appearance of specimens in the current collectors' market is given in Table IV. Another watermarked paper bears comment because even though it was not used directly by the Confederate government, it did appear extensively on state and private issues within the Confederacy. This mark appears in the combination of T. C. C. & Co. or T. C. & Co. on high- quality, bank note paper. (Previous catalog listings have shown this watermark as W. T. C. C. & Co., but specimens examined have never shown the letter "W" or any indication of its presence. Extensive search of records in an effort to discover a manufacturer or user of this combination of letters has been fruitless. There- fore, it is assumed this is an erroneous listing). The best judgment of the significance of these two watermarks is that T. C. C. & Co. stands for Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co., a prominent firm of bank note engravers and printers who were in business from 1849 through 1854. The mark T. C. & Co. standing for Toppan, Carpenter & Co., which was in existence from 1845 to 1849, and again from 1854 to 1861. The change in the name of these partnerships reflects the inclusion of John Casilear in the firm and his retirement from the firm in October, 1854. The main office and plant for this business was in Phila- delphia, which leads to the belief that this quality bank note paper was probably a product of nearby Ivy Mill. Reproductions of watermarks used on Confederate paper money The use of a watermarked paper by a bank note firm was an unusual embellishment and probably resulted in a dead stock of the paper when the firm went out of busi- ness in 1861. This stock was quickly disposed of by selling it south of the Mason-Dixon line. An unusual point also is that all pre-Civil War bank notes examined with the T. C. C. & Co. watermark were for Southern banks and engraved by various partnerships of bank note engravers but always including Mr. Toppan. See Table V for summary of known use. The W. T. & Co. water- mark is made of different shaped letters and to date has not been identified as to source. Pink Paper The use of pink-colored, unwatermarked paper (see Table VI) occurs for a limited period and on small denominations. Interestingly enough, this paper did not find its way into use for any of the State-issued notes or other privately issued currency in the South. The commonly told story that this paper was utilized to thwart the counterfeiter is borne out by some basic WHOLE NO. 21 Paper Money PAGE 21 facts. First, this limited use by the Confederate govern- ment and the exclusion of others from its use. Of course, this also could reflect on its limited supply. Second, the period of its principal use, the December, 1862 and April, 1863 issues, is quite interesting. The notorious Northern counterfeiter, S. C. Upham, operated from March, 1862, through August, 1863. Note that this is the same period of use for the pink paper. The appearance of the pink paper 50c note of February 17, 1864, can be accounted for as representing the probable finishing of the stock of this type paper. The "pink lacework" printed as a background for the other denominations of the February 17, 1864, issues indicates this technique was looked upon with favor. Also of interest is the fact that all of the notes utilizing the pink paper are fairly common, indicating an abundant paper supply. Five of the currency printers had a supply of this paper for their use, probably indicating the Treasury Department controlled the distribution. Re-Used Paper The most dramatic evidence of the scarcity of bank note paper in the war-time Confederacy is in the abun- dance of State and private issued notes printed on the plain backs of previously printed notes and bonds. This necessity was never forced on the Confederate govern- ment, but six of the Southern states were forced into this expedient. It is worth noting that the primary printers for the Confederate government, who also printed much of the state and private currency, did not have to use this ersatz paper, but rather it was mainly the local jobber- printer who apparently without government contracts could not obtain unused paper. Confederate Stamps As a side light it is worth noting that the paper used for printing official Confederate postage stamps is de- scribed by philatelists as "wove paper, thick and porous" with the exception of the one stamp printed in England, of which the paper is described as "wove paper, thin and glazed." This seems to indicate that most of the paper used for this purpose was local production and probably from the mill at Manchester, Tennessee. References I.

This article contained a concise history of the Southern Bank and illustrations of its various notes, most of which were altered to the Sussex Bank of Newton, New Jersey. One of these was the ten dollar note of the Southern Bank accompanied by a descrip- tion. Dillistin stated that no altered notes of that parti- cular ten dollar bill could be found. The author sus- pected that the ten dollar note had been altered to the Sussex Bank of Newton, because in "Hodges Journal of Finance and Bank Note Reporter (New York)" under Sussex Bank - Newton, could be found the following quotation on altered bank notes: "10's altered - female in loose robes. Washington on right." I am fortunate to have in my collection an original ten dollar note of the Southern Bank of Georgia. along with this same note to two different northern banks. Dillistin's suspicion that the ten dollar Southern Bank note was altered to the Sussex Bank of Newton, New Jersey, was well founded, although he stated that he had never seen one. Illustrated here is the Southern Bank note in the ten dollar denomination altered to the Sussex Bank of Newton. The vignettes are the same; only names and location have been changed. The title "South- ern Bank" has been changed to the "Sussex Bank"; "of Georgia" directly beneath the title of the Southern Bank has been neatly erased and "of Newton" has been sub- stituted. The "State of Georgia" over the picture of the young girl carrying wheat has been changed in the altered note to the "State of New Jersey." To make the alteration complete, "Bainbridge" in the lower left side of the note has been changed to "Sussex Co." The New African Notes By Jerome H. Remick The Republic of Uganda issued its first bank notes on August 15, 1966, in the 5, 10, 20, and 100 shillings denominations. The notes are of different color and design, but all are the same 80 mm. by 147 mm. size. The 5 shilling note is blue. Its obverse side shows the coat of arms of Uganda. On the reverse is a large waterfall amid a gently undulating terrain. The 10 shilling note is brown and also shows the coat of arms on the obverse. The reverse shows natives picking cotton. The coat of arms appears on the obverse of the 20 shilling purple. Its reverse depicts a grouping of two lions, three elephants, a zebra and a gazelle. The 100 shilling note is green. A very small representation of the coat of arms plus a large bird appear on the obverse side. On the reverse is an engraving of a modern build- ing with the coat of arms superimposed on it. All these notes are issued by the Bank of Uganda and signed by the governor and secretary. Each note has a watermark of an outstretched palm of a hand with the five fingers extended. The Republic of Kenya issued its first currency notes on September 15, 1966, in the same denominations as signatures were also changed. This note is not listed in Wismer, and since Dillistin did not know whether such a note actually existed, I feel it is fairly rare. Neither Dillistin nor the bank note reporters made mention of the fact that this note was also altered on the Andover Bank of Andover, Massachusetts. In this note, "The Southern Bank" has been changed to "The Andover Bank." Note that the "The" has not been changed. The "State of Georgia" over the vignette on the right has been changed to "Massachusetts." "Of Georgia" beneath "The Southern Bank" has been elimin- ated entirely. One can see the white erasure mark over the letter "E" in the word "TEN." This is very evident on the altered note, and it shows up well on the photo- graph also. The word "Andover" has replaced the word "Bainbridge" in the left portion of the note. This note is not listed in Wismer's list of notes of Massachusetts banks. The Southern Bank of Bainbridge was one bank whose notes were altered quite frequently to other banks who were more prosperous and much more solvent, as evi- denced by this one particular note which had not been known previously. This tends to prove that the ten dollar note of the Southern Bank of Bainbridge was altered not only to one bank, but to at least two.

Uganda. Tanzania issued its initial notes of 5, 10, 20 and 100 shillings on June 14, 1966. Tanzania includes Zanzibar and Tanganyika. Thus all four former mem- bers of the East African Currency Board (Uganda, Kenya, Zanzibar and Tanganiyka) now have their own bank notes. The bank notes of the East African Cur- rency Board will become obsolete. Readers desiring crisp, uncirculated notes of Tanzania, Uganda or Kenya should write to Mr. Joseph Carvalho, Currency Office, Box 55, Nairobi, Kenya, Africa. Mr. Carvalho makes a very small service charge and is very prompt with shipments. In sending checks to Africa, it is recommended that letters be registered, as there is still some pilfering of the mails.

ANSWER: Nine years ago eight proof notes sold at an average of $22.50, while the ninth note, a $1,000 Bank of the United States, Philadelphia, Pa., proof sold for $110. Unreserved Auction Sale James, Inc., Mar. 27, 1956 PAGE 26 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 21 Types of the Series of 1882 National Bank Notes By Peter Huntoon The Second Charter Period of 1882 heralded a new series of National Bank Notes that lasted until 1922. Series of 1882 notes were issued by banks chartered for their first time after 1882, or others that were renewing their original charters from the First Charter Period. Aside from the $5 note, the obverse designs remained essentially the same as the Original Series and Series of 1875. Three different reverse designs were used on Series of 1882 notes: Brown-Back (1882-1909), Dates- on-Reverse (1908-1922), and Denomination-on-Reverse (1916-1922). These three reverse designs constitute the major varieties of the series, but minor changes in 1) the legend, 2) use or omission of the geographical letter, and 3) use or omission of a Treasury serial number on the obverse caused several sub-varieties or types. (See illustration). A type is defined as any one of the eight possible com- binations of the three obverse design components listed above. In an earlier article (PAPER MONEY, Vol. 5, No. 4), the writer developed a classification of types for the Series of 1902 based on these same three design com- ponents. In order to avoid confusion, the identical scheme is used for the Series of 1882 notes. This allows either 1882 or 1902 notes to be described by the same classification system. Let us consider the design components that make up a type, remembering that all these varieties occurred in both the Series of 1882 and 1902 notes. In 1882, the legend read ". . . DEPOSITED WITH THE U.S. TREAS- URER AT WASHINGTON" but in 1908, with enactment of the Aldrich - Vreeland Act the legend was changed to read ". . . OR OTHER SECURITIES." This change indicated that National Bank Notes could be backed by securities other than government bonds by the terms of the Aldrich - Vreeland Act. This emergency banking measure made it necessary for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing either to alter the legend on the existing plates or to make new plates to replace the old designs. At the same time, the reverse was changed from the Brown-Back to the green Dates-on-Reverse design. With the expiration of the Aldrich-Vreeland Act in 1916, the legend was to be altered back to the original wording, but this was not carried out completely. The result was the use of ". . . OR OTHER SECURITIES" obverses with Der omiration reverses. As old plates wore out or rew pl ates were engraved, ". . . DEPOSITED WITH THE U S. TREASURER" obverses began to appear with Denomination reverses as prescribed by law. For some unexplained reason, some 10-10-10-10 and 50-50-50-100 Dates-on-Reverse plates continued to be used after 1916, until the end of the series in 1922. Two geographical letters appeared on all National Bank Notes from 1902 through 1924. These letters were overprinted adjacent to the charter numbers on the ob- verse of the notes and designated the section of the coun- try in which the issuing bank was located. Geographical letters were not used on National Bank Notes before 1902 or after 1924. Consequently only Series of 1882 notes issued between 1902 and 1922 had these letters overprinted on their obverse. Brown-Backs printed from 1882 to 1902 are the only variety of the Series of 1882 that can be found without geographical letters. A Treasury serial number was used on all National Bank Notes until 1925, when it was discontinued and replaced by a duplicate bank serial number. Since the Series of 1882 lasted only until 1922, all these notes have a Treasury serial number. Its omission is consid- ered here because this classification is also used for Series of 1902 Nationals which were issued without a Treasury serial number from 1925 to 1929. The information given above is summarized in Table I. In columns 1, 2, and 3, each design component is listed along with the dates during which it was used. In column 4 all the eight possible types are shown. Notice that the length of time each type was used is only the time common to each of the three components making up the type. Types 2 and 6 cannot exist because the geographical letter was discontinued before the Treasury serial number. Therefore, notes do not exist with a geographical letter and duplicate bank serial numbers, regardless of legend. To determine the type of a note, first determine the legend used in column 1. Next, see if a geographical letter is used and move to the appropriate box in column 2. Now find whether a Treasury serial number is used and move to the corresponding box in column 3. The adjacent box in column 4 gives the type of the note. Notice that this method can give the type of every Series 1882 or 1902 National. Table II is used to determine the period of time dur- ing which a note was issued. Find the type in column 1 of Table II and move to the right until you are in the column showing the correct reverse design. In this box are listed all the known denominations of this variety along with their dates of issue. Notice that this period is only the time common to both the reverse variety and the type of the note. (For Series of 1902 Nationals use Table 2 in Volume 5, Number 4 of PAPER MONEY.) To illustrate how this classification system works, con- sider the note shown here from the First National Bank of Honolulu. It is an 1882 $5 Denomination on Re- verse with the ". . . OR OTHER SECURITIES" legend, geographical letters and a Treasury serial number. From Table I, it is seen that this note is a type 5. Using Table II, and starting at type 5, move to the right until you are in the Denomination-on-Reverse column. You will find this $5 variety was issued between 1916 and 1922, but the bank charter number is 5550 and Friedberg shows that it was chartered in 1900. Since the Second Charter lasted only 20 years, the charter of the First Na- tional Bank of Honolulu expired in 1920. Therefore. this bank could have issued this variety of note from 1916 to 1920, a period of only four years. 55SO To za...:V..a a AT HON< NIA 'Li' , 1.2-L1 L4 I 41 1 4 : '77.37 WHOLE NO. 21 Paper Money PAGE 27 A type 5 Denomination-on-Reverse Series of 1882 National Bank Note showing: 1) legend, 2) geographical letter, 3) Treasury serial number Table 1. 1 Legend Type Classification of the Series of 1882 and 1902 National Bank Notes 2 3 4 Geographical Letter Treasury Serial TYPE Number with 1902 - 1908 1 Deposited with the U.

Third Edition of Donlon Catalog Now Available Once again it is a pleasure to report the release of still another edition of the Donlon Catalog of U. S. Small Size Paper Money. This third edition, dated 1967, is a far cry from the original listing that first appeared in PAPER MONEY. But the simple, reliable numbering system is the same, making this dollar volume indispensable to the hobbyist. In pricing, both increases and decreases have been recorded to keep close to the pulse of the market. A careful reading of the many pages of informa- tion would save many collectors from error and doubts, too. Thus, Mr. Donlon serves both the commercial and academic wings of the hobby, whose rapid growth can in large part be attributed to his vision in making such a catalog available at low cost. It can be ordered directly from William P. Donlon, Box 144, Utica, N. Y. 13503. SPMC Officers Teach Numismatics at MIT During the fall 1966 semester, SPMC Governor Maurice M. Gould conducted educational classes on numismatics under the auspices of the Massachusetts Department of Education, University Extension Division, at MIT, Cambridge. Among the lecturers was SPMC President George Wait, whose subject was, naturally enough, paper money. Approximately a hundred stud- ents registered for the eight-lecture series. New Ceylon Note A new two rupee note was recently placed in circula- tion in Ceylon. Red-brown in color and dated 1965-9-9, it shows a large stone statue of a god on the obverse and a building on the reverse. This note, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Ltd., New Malden, Surrey, England, replaces the former note dated 1962-11-8. Both the old and the new notes are of the same size, but the subjects depicted on the obverse sides are completely different. JEROME H.
