Differs from the other scrip in the phrase "using Scrip" instead of "issuing scrip." Also has a pictorial vignette, the familiar Indian maiden seen on so much Confederate and Southern State currency. Nearly everyone has heard of the old "Spanish swindle." It started in Europe and moved to America shortly after the Revolution. Almost every country on earth has had the Spanish swindle or variations enacted within its borders. The plot ran thus: A father, grand- father, uncle, etc. is unjustly confined in a dungeon. Before he was imprisoned he secreted a large sum of money. This money is available as soon as he gets out, but he is unjustly charged and his trial is stalled. The guards can be bribed to release him but it will take a large sum of money. which the sucker is expected to put up for the promise of a share of the treasure. Should the sucker go into the scheme at this point, it comes to an end, as the entrepreneurs take the booty and flee to greener pastures to repeat the operation with variations to suit the new occasion. One variation that was used here in the United States was the "English Estate racket." A person with an English, Irish or Scottish name was approached with the information that he was the heir to a vast estate in which- ever country from which his name derived. Of course, it would take a sum of money to investigate, clear the title, transfer the funds here, etc. However, should the sucker put up the funds to do this, the person who ap- proached him would know someone who could intercede in the sucker's behalf. Should the money be forth- coming, the scheme sometimes ended at this point. However, a very clever operator could and often did cre- ate a plausible story, complete with difficulties, that allowed him to come back for more funds. When the victim was disillusioned or broke, he was dumped. I once knew a large family that contributed to a scheme of this kind all through the Depression and until the start of World War II. They held meetings that were attended by as many as a hundred family members, issued bulletins about the status of their W ILSON SCRIP. $5.00. it" ri ets te s 10.1i.000l this the repregergativet of the •W I I.S.3 FA M in Ant.

He had this particular family hypnotized for at least 15 years and perhaps longer: I lost contact with the people when I moved away. Now we come to the scrip that is used to illustrate this article. This rather enterprising operator in the 1860's branched out by issuing scrip that he could sell to any- one who was avaricious enough to expect a return of $100 on a $5 investment. He even complied with the law, as the proper tax stamps were affixed to each instrument. Business must have begun to slow down, however, as the Booth scrip offered a $300 piece of the action for $5. If you will notice, it also hears the latter issue date. It would be interesting to know how successful Mr. H. 0. Smith was with this particular scheme. The answer will probably never be known as it is well buried in the archives of time. But his legal-looking scrip remains to interest today's collectors. Text of the Scrip Whereas, it is believed that the representatives of the Family" in America are entitled to an im- mense Estate in England, called the " Estate." and whereas, said representatives are desirous of re- covering possession thereof, and in order to accomplish the same, are obliged to raise money by issuing Scrip, which are to be the first lien on said Estate. Now, therefore, for and in consideration of Five Dollars to me, agent for the " Association" in hand paid, I hereby agree, as Agent aforesaid, to pay or bearer, One Hundred Dollars out of the first moneys received from said Estate, by the members of this Association, or any of them; and I further agree to expend said moneys received for said Scrip for re- covery of said Estate. Monkton, Vt., 186.. Agent for the Association (A variation in the last paragraph of the Gibson and Booth scrip has after "said Scrip," the words "for the investigation of the rights of American heirs to said Estate.") (Editor's Note: A recent article in Coin World told of the arrest of a 55-year-old woman and her 28-year-old son in Danville, Va., on mail fraud. They are charged with a contemporary version of the Spanish Swindle. They used the mails to solicit prospective heirs to the huge Mark Hopkins fortune accumulated during California gold rush days. Victims registered at fees of $250 or more for the potential of sharing in billions of dollars once the estate was settled. The estate, according to Coin World, already had been settled in 1883.1 The Mexican Mustang Note Some philatelists collect revenue as well as postage stamps. Among them are the private issues of manu- factures of medicines, perfumes, matches, etc., for use during the Civil War fiscal emergency. One of these "match and medicine" revenues was discussed by Henry W. Holcombe in the May 1970 issue of The American Philatelist. It bears the name of "Mexican Mustang Lini- ment"—supposedly good for man or beast, "whatever ails." Mr. Holcombe illustrated the article with a pseudo bank note advertising the liniment. Done up in the usual bank note style with limpid female, galloping horses and elaborate counters, it reads "On demand the Mustang Bank for the value received will pay at any store in the civilized world one bottle of Mexican Mustang Liniment." At first glance the lithographed note on typical paper looks like any other obsolete note. Mr. Holcombe states that several other patent medicine companies had similar advertising notes printed. *a0005805 ,qi0005So5 C (ADA TWO CI DEUX DOLLARS DOLLARS *0000561 TWENTY DOLLAR 000741'1 *,000744'J NVO WHOLE NO. 39 Paper Money PAGE 93 The Asterisk Notes of By Harry Eisenhauer Canada For quite some time now, most collectors of Canadian paper money have completely ignored the Bank of Canada series of 1954, especially the very scarce "asterisk" or replacement notes. In this article I wish to emphasize the importance to the student collector as well as the seasoned numismatist of the scarcity which now exists in this replacement series. The asterisk note, which was first introduced to Canada in 1954, is a red, six-pointed star which precedes the two- letter prefix of the series. The denominator indicates the denomination and the numerator indicates the series. For example, "A" would represent the $1, "B" the $2, "C" the $5, "D" the $10, and "E" the $20. Invariably the numerators would be "A" as no asterisk notes of the early series with a B/A prefix have been reported. How- ever, the later series of asterisk notes hearing the signa- tures Beattie and Rasminsky have been seen, and it is relatively common to find a $1 or $2 asterisk note bearing this signature with an A/A or B/B prefix in everyday change. The collecting of asterisk notes has provided a partic- ular challenge to collectors, one reason being that only about one occurs in each six to ten thousand notes. This remarkable ratio is a credit to the Canadian Bank Note Co., Ltd. and the British American Bank Note Co., Ltd., both of Ottawa, the printers of Canada's bank notes. However, since the Beattie and Rasminsky series com- menced, the output of asterisk notes has been much greater, but their value considerably less than the early signature varieties with the devil's face combination. The asterisk series, used to replace regular notes dam- aged in late stages of production, are known for five denominations only: the $1, $2, $5, $10, and $20. To the best of my knowledge no asterisk notes have been re- ported for the $50 or higher denominations. Only 20 varieties of the asterisk note exist in the 1954 series. They may be found in the first series bearing the signa- tures Coyne and. Towers, which are rare; the second series bearing the signatures Beattie and Coyne combined with the devil's face; the revised series bearing the signature Beattie and Coyne without the devil's face; and, of course, our present notes bearing the signatures Beattie and Rasminsky, the latter being relatively com- mon. However, it would appear that the $10 and $20 denominations of all the series are the most difficult to obtain, especially in uncirculated condition. Premiums for asterisk notes vary from not much over face value for a current, well-circulated note to over $150 or more for some of the early signature varieties with the devil's face combination in uncirculated condi- tion. A recent major auction sale in Montreal saw a price of $280 realized for a 1954 $20 Coyne and Towers asterisk note in uncirculated condition. A similar price of $160 was realized for the $2 denomination bearing the same signatures and in the same condition at the 1969 CNA convention held in Toronto. A price of $150 was realized recently for the $10 denomination, the price Three specimens of Canadian asterisk notes, usually called "star" notes in the U. S. The author considers these three notes to be in the rare category. being the result of private negotiation.

Having specialized in the Bank of Canada 1954 series for some time and having been fortunate in obtaining all but one specimen in uncirculated condition, I am of the opinion that the scarcest variety has to be the S5 asterisk note of the first series bearing the signatures Coyne and Towers, as I have never seen this note in any condition and know of none other in anyone else's collection.

As larger denominations of tens and upwards were retired. they were replaced with ones, twos and fives. Early issues were numbered and sealed in ultramarine, which later turned to a dark blue. This was a change from the "red, white and blue" effect found on other notes of that period, where the serials were blue and the seals red in color. A variety change not recorded in the tables is the movement of the blue "1" and the seal from far left and right field to nearer the left and right centers, respectively. The placement of "Series of 1899" on the right half of the note underwent three changes from the first issue. Unlike the present practice, there was no change in the "Series" for a change of signatures. Even the face plate numbers do not show the new officials, as in early issues the plate numbers mount regardless of the changes in the plate. Later the plate numbers start afresh with each change in the plate. The reverse plate numbers were moved to a new location and started over after World War I. It is with this series that the use of star numbers be- gins, believed to have been instituted in the second serial run. But in those days the pressure for large currency issues was non-existent, and printing was leisurely. few notes being spoiled to necessitate star numbers. The "Eagle" certificates have a lot of appeal, in spite of their lack of a unified design. This was the paper dollar of our childhood and was the only paper dollar that many of us saw from 1900 to 1917. Much study is needed to complete the list below. The author will appreciate additions if they are verified with serial numbers, signatures and plate numbers. Without doubt there will be some hitherto undisclosed rarities where change-over situations are found in the various blocks. REFERENCES Donlon, U. S.

Hutchason to Update Military Books for Roy Toy Clark Hutchason of Burlingame, Cal. has been asked by Ray Toy to update and publish new editions of two references begun earlier by Toy—"Allied Military Cur- rency" and "Axis Military Currency." Mr. Toy, who has been in ill health in the past few years, recently an- nounced that because he finds himself "unable to con- tinue publishing" the work is being passed on to Mr. Hutchason. Toy's first hook, World War II Military Currency, was published in 1964, and was restricted to the allied issues. A second and greatly enlarged edition was offered a year later built on the pioneering efforts of Alfred J. Swails, who had previously offered two studies of World War II military currency and who gave permission for the use of materials which appeared in his earlier works. The other volume which Toy co-authored with Bob Meyer covered the field of "World War II Axis Military Cur- rency" and was published in 1967.

Cooper The Confederate Fifty-Cent Note The fifty-cent note issued by the Confederate States of America on two occasions. April 6, 1863 and February 17. 1864, presents the collector and student of Con- federate numismatics with some interesting information when closely examined. This note also is one that il- lustrates the close relationship between Confederate paper money and Confederate postage stamps. The April 1863 issue and February 1864 issue are identical in appearance with the exception of the dif- ferent dates and minor changes in wording and imprint of the engraver. The note carries a bas-relief bust of President Jefferson Davis copied from the sculptured bust by Volck. It was printed on a light pink paper with a plain back. with nine notes per sheet (lettered A through I ). The signatures were printed, and the serial number was mechanically applied by a numbering stamp. In the early days of the Confederacy, the Congress denied the issuance of paper currency in fractional values. The need for small change in the southern economy, which had not yet suffered the ravages of inflation, was widespread and great. The void was filled by the uncontrolled issues of states, towns, rail- roads, business, and private citizens. Postage stamps also supplied the need for small change, as they did in the North, and this need was undoubtedly the prime cause for the issuance of a twenty-cent stamp. The Confederate Congress also resisted the use of printed signatures on the currency in preference to the variety of handwritten signatures added by the ladies and gentle- men of the Treasury Department. The fifty-cent note was the only piece issued with the printed signature. In the fall of 1861, engraver John Archer left his job with a New York bank note firm to seek opportunities in the Confederate capital. He formed a partnership with a Richmond businessman. Joseph Daly. and 01)- tained a contract to print stamps for the government. Work on it began in July 1862 and utilized the English- made plate for a five-cent stamp hearing the likeness of Jefferson Davis. Confederate stamp collectors know this as the local print of the five-cent typograph (Scott No. 7). The earliest engraving work of this firm, known as Archer & Daly, is on three C.S.A. bonds, $100, $500, and $1,000, authorized by the Act of February 20. 1863. These bonds were printed on the same pink paper as would later be used for the fifty-cent note. Activity for Archer & Daly now started to increase rapidly. John Archer produced for Postmaster Reagan the first engraved-on-steel stamp for the Richmond government. This carried the likeness of Davis copied from the Volck sculpture and the same style as would be used on the fifty-cent note. This stamp, known to collectors as the "frame line" type (Scott No. 10), had a limited life. It was followed by a nearly identical stamp from the press of Archer & Daly with only the "10 CENTS" changed to "TEN CENTS" (Scott No. 9). This was quickly changed, because some inferred that the Davis bust looked too much like Abraham Lincoln, to another same-type design but reverting back to the "10 CENTS," known to collectors as "Type I" (Scott No. 111. Concurrent with this period of activity in stamp en- graving and printing, the firm of Archer & Daly was given a contract to engrave and print the fifty-cent note authorized by the Act of March 23, 1863, which author- ized $15,000,000 in fifty-cent, and two dollar notes. Another New York bank note engraver arrived in Richmond during this period, probably in April 1863. This was portrait engraver Frederick Halpin, who joined the firm of Archer & Daly. He immediately went to PAGE 100 WHOLE NO. 39Paper Money Close-up of Davis vignette with Iieatiuge & Ball solid background Jefferson Davis vignette on Ijeatinge & Ball stamp and fifty-cent. note work engraving a two-cent stamp bearing the portrait of John C. Calhoun (Scott No. 81 and a twenty-cent stamp with the likeness of George Washington (Scott No. 13). The April 6, 1863 fifty-cent note made its appearance during this period. It carried the imprint of "Archer & Daly, Richmond. Va.," which differed slightly from the imprint then used on their stamps, which was "Archer & Daly, Bank Note Engravers, Richmond, Va." The Davis portrait was identical, though larger, to the portrait being used on the ten-cent stamp coming off the press at the same time. Under close scrutiny the Davis vignette most closely copies that on the "TEN CENTS" ( Scott No. 91 stamp which. according to Confederate philatelists, was the engraving work of John Archer. The similarities are as follows: —Davis portrait is confined to vertical dots and lines both on this stamp and on the note. — The shoulder cut is at the front of the bust on the stamp and note; other stamps placed the cut in the rear of the bust. — There is an open area between the cross-hatched background and frame on the stamp and note; other stamps have this area filled with lines. The one negative point is that the cross-hatched background surrounding the Davis bust is more like that on the stamp (Scott No. 12) known to have been engraved by Frederick Halpin. Nevertheless, from the number of similar points and the timing, we can presume that John Archer at least engraved the Davis vignette on the note. Whether Frederick Halpin was involved in the engraving of this 1863 note is not known. Halpin, however, at this time was busy engraving another ten-cent Davis stamp, almost identical to that known as "Type I" (Scott No. 11), but with distinguishing features that philatelists can identify it as "Type II" (Scott No. 12). Sometime after the appearance of this "Type II" stamp, May 1863, John Archer's Confederate partner, Joseph Daly, dropped out of the firm. This is well known to Confederate stamp collectors by the imprint change on the border of the stamp sheet. First the name "Daly" was lined-out from Archer & Daly, then it was completely erased from the imprint. Dietz 2 indicates, "At about this time Daly severed his connections with the firm, which was now well established." The depar- ture of Joseph Daly, I feel, was a significant factor in the operation of the firm and it was not caused by the feeling that the firm could survive without him. Rather. Daly, as a business man with roots in Richmond, dropped out when the firm was threatened with relocation to Columbia. South Carolina. The Confederate Congress on February 3, 1864 ap- proved "An Act to Organize the Treasury Note Bureau." On February 10. 1864. Sanders Jamison was appointed WHOLE NO. 39 Paper Money PAGE 101 head of the newly formed bureau and immediately formulated plans to centralize all engraving and printing at Columbia. Shortly after this the Act of February 17, 1864 legislatively cancelled all prior currency and authorized a whole new issue including a fifty-cent note. Movement of clerks, furniture, and presses to Columbia commenced on April 26, 1864. This probably marks the demise of the Archer & Daly firm. Most catalogers skirt the question of who printed the 1864 fifty-cent note by simply indicating "Engraved by Archer & Halpin, Richmond. Va." and inferring that they also printed the notes. This, I believe, is not true, and the following facts and postulation are offered as to what happened. Archer & Daly dissolved immediately prior to February 17, 1864. Engraver Frederick Halpin shortly thereafter became a partner and the firm became known as Archer & Halpin. The Treasury Note Bureau ordered the new firm to alter the plate for the fifty-cent note to the requirements of the February 17, 1864 Act. This required a date change and revision of the words "Six months after the Ratification of a Treaty of Peace," etc. to "Two Years," etc. Other minute alterations were made to renew the plate. as well as the alteration of the imprint to read "Engraved by Archer & Halpin. Richmond, Va." The April 26th exodus to Columbia undoubtedly incuded this corrected plate, stamp plates, and their presses from Archer & Halpin. The question then be- comes, who did print the fifty-cent note? The following facts are offered: —Several bonds authorized by this same Act of February 17, 1864 bear interesting imprints. The $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000, which were to be redeemable July 1, 1894, have the imprint "Engraved by J. Archer, Richmond, Va."/"Printed by Evans & Cogswell, Columbia, S.C." Another series of $100, $500, and $1,000, with redemption due July 1, 1884, have the imprint "Engraved by Archer & Halpin, Richmond, Va."/"Printed by Evans & Cogswell, Columbia, S.C." This gives firm evidence that they did new engraving work but did not do the printing. —Confederate stamp collectors have long been aware that in 1864 Archer & Daly terminated their stamp printing. Dietz 1 notes, "The four 10c plates—two of Type I and two of Type II—of the Archer & Daly printings were turned over to the firm of Keatinge & Ball of Columbia, and this concern thereafter supplied the postage stamps until close of the war. . . The imprint of Archer was removed from the plates and that of the new contractors substituted. No other changes were made and no retouching took place." —The imprint added to the border of the stamp sheet was "Keatinge & Ball, Bank Note Engravers, Columbia, S.C." Stamp collectors generally identify the work of Keatinge & Ball, when the imprint is not available, "by their darker color, and generally inferior printing as well as the molasses-color gum, laid on in uneven streaks." 1 Further, they identify the earliest known dated postal cancellation of an envelope with this stamp as December 4, 1864. —This raises a question about the hypothesis that Archer stopped stamp printing so many months earlier. Keatinge & Ball during this same period were printing several of the 1864 C.S.A. notes in- eluding the beautiful $500 note with vignettes of General Jackson and the Confederate flag, which certainly indicates, for the period, that they were competent printers. Either they had an ample sup- ply of stamps on hand so that no printing was re- quired for a while or they did print stamps which have not been attributed to them, and the "darker color" represents a deterioration in the supply of ink available to the printer as the war was coming to a close. —The Archives Guide 8 lists (Page 118) the private companies given contracts to print paper currency and includes Archer & Daly of Richmond but does not mention Archer & Halpin. —No other known currency printed by Archer & Daly and/or Archer & Halpin has been discovered. The question then remains as to the printer of the February 17, 1864 fifty-cent note. I now believe that the printing was done by Keatinge & Ball in Columbia. The strongest evidence for this assumption is based on information commonly known to Confederate stamp col- lectors. Dietz 1 notes a characteristic of the Keatinge & Ball printing of the ten-cent Type I and Type II stamp as ‘'sometimes presents the appearance of missing lines in the background of the oval (surrounding the Davis bust)." A survey of a number of the fifty-cent notes now reveals the same condition can sometimes be found in the background of the oval. This condition has been attributed to a chilled plate or an overheated plate softening the ink. Another interesting fact is that except for the first "Montgomery issue" of currency, which was printed in the North, the only use of printed serial num- bers on the currency ($50 and $100 April 6, 1863, S50, $100 and $500 February 17, 18641 was on the notes printed by Keatinge & Ball; no other printer used mechanical serial numbers. Also, the serial numbers on the 1863 notes printed by Keatinge & Ball were done in red ink: the 1863 fifty-cent note serial number was likewise in red ink. In 1864, Keatinge & Ball used black ink for the serial numbers; the 1864 fifty-cent note serial number was likewise in black ink. To assume that Keatinge & Ball might have printed the 1863 fifty-cent note would, I feel, be presumptuous. The printed signatures used on this note were apparently more from necessity than desire. The 1863 note was printed on the Archer & Daly press in Richmond, and the ladies of the Treasury Department signing the notes were at this time in Columbia. Therefore, convenience dictated the risk in using printed signatures.

By Robert Hoskins Collectors who are still confused about the background of the term "change-over pair" will be interested to know that the first apparent acknowledgment of such signature pairs was reported in the November 1928 issue of The Numismatist by Farran Zerbe. Mr. William Philpott commented in the December 1928 issue that he had also discovered the same phenomenon. Eighteen years later Robert H. Lloyd, writing in the September 1946 issue of the same publication, explained the appearance of the name of Fred M. Vinson, Secre- tary of the Treasury, on the Silver Certificate series 1935B. This, he noted, was the first signature change since 1933 when Henry Morgenthau replaced William H. Woodin. W. A. Julian continued as Treasurer of the United States. Mr. Lloyd then pointed out that it was becoming diffi- cult to obtain $1 Silver Certificates with consecutive numbers bearing different signatures for this reason: In 1937, a new system of using logotypes for printing signa- tures supplanted the old system of engraving names on the plate. Under that old system the use of old and new plates concurrently resulted in consecutive serial numbers being printed from alternate plates—six plates in a row signed by Woodin, for instance, following six by Mor- genthau. Such consecutively numbered notes were popu- lar and quite common during the 1920's and early '30's. The use of logotype signatures precluded this mixture of names because the insert of the new logo prevents use of the old. Thus there are relatively few pairs of 1935B and 1935A $1 Silver Certificates with the Vinson-Mor- genthau combination, Mr. Lloyd concluded. More Interspersed Plate Numbers Robert H. Lloyd reports on a situation similar to that described by Bob McCurdy in PAPER MONEY No. 35 in the article "Interspersing of Face Plate Numbers on $1 F.R.N. Series 1963A and 1963B." Mr. Lloyd has the fol- lowing dollar notes with plate numbers showing a late 1969 after 1969-A were made: B72 231 450C Series 1969-A Face plate D240 F90 421 822B Series 1969-A Face plate B243 B65 584 643C Series 1969 Face plate H247 This shows that apparently a number was assigned to one of the older plates after new plates were being processed.

In late 1922, the German government asked for a temporary moratorium on its reparation payments until its financial situation could be straightened out. The French government ob- jected to this demand and on January 10, 1923, an- nounced that a mission of control would be sent into the Ruhr area of western Germany. French and Belgian troops began the invasion and occupation of the Ruhr district on January 11. Although this occupied Ruhr area was only about 60 by 28 miles in extent, it constituted the industrial heart of Germany. It was one of the most populated regions in Europe, containing ten per cent of the German people. The French and Belgians assumed that by holding this small area they would either secure reparations payments at first hand or so paralyze the industrial life of Germany as to force her to agree to their terms. The German government now faced two alternatives: (1) either accept the French demand and make new pro- posals for the payment of reparations, or (2) refuse to cooperate with France and passively resist all French efforts. The German government believed that without German assistance France would be unable to operate the Ruhr industries, that the cost of the profitless occupation would force the French treasury into bankruptcy, and that thus the French would be compelled to withdraw in defeat from the territory. French troops occuping a city in the Ruhr area, 1923 The German government chose resistance and stopped all deliveries of reparations in kind to France and Belgium. It ordered the inhabitants of the occupied area to pay no customs duties, coal taxes, or export duties which could come into French hands. The German government entered upon a program of financial aid to all those—officials, railwaymen, miners, and industrial workers—who by reason of passive resistance lost their means of support. The government inflated the already depreciating currency to defray the expense of sup- porting idle workers and compensating their employers. On September 26, 1923, the German government under internal pressure announced that the passive resistance was ended. At the time of the Ruhr occupation, the German mark depreciated rapidly as the government deficit to finance resistance in the Ruhr added marks to the already roaring flames of the inflationary holocaust. On January 9, 1923, the eve of the Ruhr occupation, the rate of exchange of German marks for a U. S. dollar was 10,000 marks to one U. S. dollar. Three weeks later the quotation was 49,000 marks to one U. S. dollar. Thus. the occupation of the Ruhr added significantly to the redundancy of the German mark currency and its patho- IGgical depreciation. Shown here are two specimens of postage stamps which were used at the time of the Ruhr occupation. The stamps are surcharged with higher values than the original value of the stamp and also have a reference to the Ruhr, RHEIN-RUHR-HILFE (Rhine-Ruhr-Aid). The first speci- men is a 5 mark stamp surcharged with new valuation of 100 marks and the second specimen is a 25 mark stamp surcharged with new valuation of 500 marks to keep pace with the inflation. British-type notes inscribed West African Currency Board date from 1912-18 when the Board was established to administer the currencies of Nigeria, Gambia, Sierra Leone and the Gold Coast. With Nigerian independence and founding of its Central Bank issuing notes from July 1, 1959, the WACB notes were gradually phased out and ceased to be legal tender in 1962. PACE 104 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 39 Cardboard Currency By Brent H. Hughes, SPMC No. 7 © 1971 Brent H. Hughes The ingenuity of the American people and the Ameri- can businessman in the face of adversity is always a fascinating field of study. This trait was never more thoroughly tested than during the financial crisis brought on by the Civil War. This period has been covered in great detail in Neil Carothers' book, Fractional Money, and we will not re- peat it here. Briefly, the situation was such that an estimated 27 million dollars in gold and silver coins dis- appeared from circulation within a short period of time. Outside of a small number of $1 and $2 state bank notes, virtually nothing remained in circulation between the lc piece and the $5 note. Needless to say, this brought chaos to the business community. There was a heavy decline in retail trade, particularly in groceries, saloons, barber shops, street cars and ferries. Speculators had a field day manipulating the few remaining coins, and the public suffered. The government sat paralyzed, not knowing quite what to do, and the solution was left to the people. And as usual the people came through, find- ing substitutes for silver coins in a host of imaginative ways. As numismatists know, the most popular immediate substitute was postage stamps, either bare, housed in envelopes, or encased in brass by Mr. J. Gault. Of course, the inherent weaknesses of stamps as a circulating me- dium became apparent rather quickly and the Govern- ment, reacting to severe criticism by the public, moved into the production of fractional paper. However, it was the hectic period before metallic tokens or Fractional Currency were available that was most critical for the small businessman and the harassed housewife. Milk tickets, fare tickets, and virtually any- thing else that people would accept were pressed into service. This crisis also spawned one of the most in- teresting items in numismatics—the cardboard "ticket money," or "chits" as they were called by some people. These tiny bits of paper, designed and produced by small print shops, were never turned out in huge quantities, as evidenced by the very few remaining today. As a matter of fact, compared to other numismatic items of the same era, they are quite rare. Mr. Maurice Burgett gave us a glimpse of the items in his article in the Spring, 1963 issue of PAPER MONEY, and they have been rather casually mentioned in other publications from time to time, but apparently no ex- haustive study has been made. The author recently had the pleasure of examining and photographing the Burgett and Charles Affleck collections of cardboard money and, along with these gentlemen, wishes to share the data and photographs of these unusual items. It should also be mentioned that the Smithsonian has four varieties on display in which they are called "Cardboard Currency." These varieties are included in our list, even though precise measurements could not be made because of the display case. The designation used by Smithsonian seems appropriate, so "Cardboard Currency" will be used in future research to avoid confusion. A close examination of some of these items gives us a good idea of how they were used. First, they were neighborhood products intended for strictly local cir- culation since the majority of them carry no city name, just a street address or in some cases just the merchant's name. Secondly, there must have been reluctance on the part of some customers to accept cardboard currency for we find that some merchants endorsed their currency on the back with their initials or signature. We can assume that this was done to instill confidence in eventual redemption. Of course, it could also have been an anti- counterfeiting device, but no record of such activity has been found. Third, some items are heavily worn, presumably from circulation. Apparently the frugal storekeeper redeemed and reissued his currency several times before it became unusable and was destroyed. This could also be a factor in the scarcity of specimens today. Fourth, it would appear that some merchants attempted to maintain con- trol of their redemption obligations by writing what look like serial numbers on the back. This may also be a factor contributing to their scarcity today, since the merchants may have tried to destroy their entire issue as soon as other change became available in order to remove any future obligations. The period of time during which cardboard currency circulated was quite short, varying somewhat with locality. The traditional preference of the public for "hard money" led to ready acceptance of metallic tokens as they came into circulation in quantity. These tokens. along with government-issue fractional paper, brought about the gradual withdrawal of cardboard currency from commerce. The following list is obviously not complete—it is simply an extension of Mr. Burgett's original list. But it is a start. Many other varieties must exist: collectors having them are invited to contact the author so that their specimens might be added to our list. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CARDBOARD CURRENCY 1.

Carrothers has submitted the following in- formation about the shifted face plate number in Silver Certificates he discussed in PAPER MONEY No. 31 that developed from his correspondence with Seymour Kashin. Mr. Kashin writes, "I have reduced my observations to a series of type numbers which conform to your observa- tions, in part. "First of all there are five shifts observable in the series 1935A through H notes. The first three varieties occur in notes produced from 12-subject plates as follows: Type I (your CLOSE) occurs on all series 1935A-D, 12-subject. Note position of 'Treasurer of the United States.' Type II occurs only on 1935A. Note position of 'Trea- surer of the United States.' Type III occurs only on 1935A. Note position of `Treasurer of the United States.' On type II lower right check letter is to the right of Type I, while on type III it is in a position between types I and II. The check number also shifts as in later notes, but this is not as apparent because the earlier plates have fewer digits. Type IV (your CLOSE II) as you note, except that position of 'Secretary of the Treasury' shifts also; compare with your OPEN, sheets of 18 only. Type V (your OPEN) as noted in Type IV, sheets of 18 only. "Some check numbers I have for each type: Type 1-49, 236, 86, 177, 174, 696, 230, 618, 1115 (plus others) Type 11-458, 1380, 266, 923, 1444, 2752, 5516 Type 111-163, 53 Type IV-8134, 8401, 8485, 8535, 8214, 8315 Type V-7527, 7531, 7569, 7539, 8076, 8169, 7937, 8173, 8027, 7777" CANADIAN POSTAL SCRIP Little-known numismatic-philatelic hybrids are the Canadian Post Office's "Postal Scrip" stamps. Originally issued in lc to 90c denominations to make up odd amounts on postal money orders, they were also used for remitting small amounts from 1943 to 1970. That extra function has now been discontinued and the stamps again must be used for money order purposes only. SIX.

This publication, which had no numismatic in- formation at all, was devoted to the vital statistics of the city. These included lists of aldermen, fire chiefs and similar local data. There also were colored views of various areas of New York. Much to my pleasure upon opening the book at home, I found inserted and bound-in a complete sheet of what seemed to be scrip issued by the City in odd denomina- tions during 1814 and 1815. Both obverse and reverse were shown on notes of 4c, 6c, 9c, and 12 119c and the obverse only of the lc note. These were printed on one sheet of thin paper and bound-in with absolutely no editorial comment of any kind. In fact, its presence was not even noted in the index of plates. I realized that the notes were rare in the originals and also that the sheet I had was purely a reprint. I resolved that if I ever saw the real thing that I would try to buy them. I made inquiry among various dealers and was told that they had either seen them or had them in the past but that now they were not in stock. In Europe two years ago a small dealer in Amsterdam whom I knew from earlier trips greeted me with an envelope of about 40 pieces of early New York fractional scrip. Lo and behold, there in superb condition, un- circulated, were the 4c, 6c, 9c, and 12 1/.c notes from my Valentine reprint, plus a 2c note in not such good condi- tion! They coincided perfectly with the reprint except that they were all hand-signed by a man named Pintard, and they were all on a heavy cardboard stock. Needless to say, I bought them all and brought them home again to the States. A visit to the New York Historical Society quickly taught me that Mr. Pintard was no ordinary citizen but rather the founder of the Society. He was also the Secretary to the Board of Aldermen at the time of the issuance of the notes, hence his signature. The records showed that the Board of Aldermen authorized lc, 4c, 6c, 9c, and 12 1Ac notes and later. 25c and 50c notes. Despite these facts, there were several people who in- sisted that the only original notes were those done on the thin paper and that the heavy ones were the reprints. One collector even felt that the ink signature was a modern day forgery and that the notes were issued with an engraved signature as shown in Valentine's. Some said that they were issued with blank backs, others that they had decorations on the back. In short, no one seemed to really know what the truth was. I felt that I had the answer in the reprint sheet from Valentine's of which no one had ever heard. Then in the hack files of The Numismatist, which I consulted at the American Numismatic Society Library, additional proof was secured which cleared up the matter. WHOLE NO. 39 Paper Money PAGE 109 Valentine's Manual 1863 open and insert of notes unfolded. No 2c note is shown. The insert was printed on very thin paper. The September 1926 issue of The Numismatist contains an unsigned article on Pages 476/7 in which the notes themselves are fully described and the urgent reason for their issuance explained. The 4c and 6c are reproduced and described as being printed on "common bank note paper," but the descriptions do not fully represent the original notes. The entire article would not have gone too far in clearing up the question of what had truly occurred since the notes pictured were, by the article's statement, printed on thin paper. Fortunately, in the November 1926 issue of the same magazine, on Page 631, the eminent Farran Zerbe wrote to say that the notes as he knew them to be were "printed on a single piece of heavy paper, brownish in color and similar to that used for some Colonial and Continental notes." He went on to say that a reprint was evidently made at a later date and that the notes pictured in the September article were cut from the reprint and pasted together front and back. With this second article the entire solution now be- came evident. The first writer took the reprints to be the originals and reported on them accordingly. Farran Zerbe knew the originals to be on heavy paper and of the existence of the reproductions, but quite obviously did not know the source of the reprints. It remained for someone with an interest in and knowledge of the notes and the good fortune to find the 1863 Valentine's with the plate intact to solve the puzzle. The matter would have been cleared up long since had the Valentine people put any identification on the plate. The lack of identification made it easy for generations of sharpers to remove the plate from the book and sell the mounted notes as originals. I have looked at almost 25 copies of the 1863 edition of Valentine's and have never seen the plate even when the owner claimed the book to be com- plete in every way, with all listed plates and illustrations. The Valentine reproduction must have been litho- graphic in nature, since the Pintard signature is re- Reverses of 9c, 4c, 6c, and 121i c re- spectively Spine of Valentine's Manual PAGE 110 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 39 produced exactly like the balance of the printing and there are certain other small differences between the originals and the reprints. These could have occurred when the lithographic stone was cut. Also, the type set- ting of the originals has made definite impressions in the paper, whereas the reprints are flat and unimpressed. Now that the story is complete there still remains one unresolved question. That is, how do I happen to have a 2c note in my collection, dated 1814, signed by Pintard, since this valuation was never approved in the original aldermen's authorization for the issuance of the notes? This denomination does not appear in the reprint from Valentine's nor did it appear in auction last year. which to the best of my knowledge was the only time in recent years that these notes have even been offered. Perhaps like Farran Zerbe 45 years ago, some well-informed nu- mismatist will have the answer to clear up the last part of the puzzle. 2c note not pictured in Valentine's or author- ized by the Board of Aldermen; plain back P. 0. W. Check Check drawn at Stalag Luft I by American prisoner-of-war and subsequently cashed in the U. S. Robert Hoskins has submitted a photostat of a check written on a plain sheet of paper in a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany. One Thomas Keasby drew it to his account on the National City Bank (Ch. 1461) but for- got to include the "National" in the title. The check was drawn in payment of a gambling debt owed a fellow prisoner. Both men were released shortly thereafter and upon their return to America they presented the check for payment even though there was the error in the title. This check is now in the personal collection of war pictures owned by Edward Jablonski, author of Flying Fortress, published by Doubleday & Co. Destruction of Confederate Railroad Scrip Charles J.

Roy Pennell, Jr. New President On August 13, 1971, The Society of Paper Money Col- lectors, Inc. climaxed a most successful participation in The American Numismatic Association convention at Washington, D. C. with its 11th annual meeting attended by 118 members and guests. At the dinner and awards ceremony, President Glenn Smedley presided and intro- duced the honored guests, James A. Conlon, Director of The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and Mrs. Conlon. In his address, Mr. Conlon expanded on the security implications theme he used at the ANA Educational Forum the preceding evening and went on to reveal some of the future currency improvements being studied at the Bureau. Among these is a proposal for "one time usage currency," perhaps utilizing plastic paper. Re- introduction of the two-dollar denomination is also being contemplated, Mr. Conlon said. SPMC Secretary Vernon L. Brown presented his re- port, which showed that Society membership as of June 30, 1971 was 1,893, a net gain of 208 over the same date in 1970, with 30 more members admitted during the month of July. He pointed out that 81 SPMC'ers re- cruited the new members and paid special tribute to David Hakes, whose publicity efforts procured nearly 80% of them and earned him a second place in the Individual Competition of National Coin Week. Treasurer M. Owen Warns reported a balance of $7,074.68 in the regular accounts and $1,350.06 in the Dr. Julian Blanchard special award fund. Noteworthy during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1971 was the ex- penditure of $1,033 for publishing a new membership directory of the Society's members. Receipts for the fiscal year were $12,803, with disbursements of $14,869. The Board of Governors then voted to increase the an- nual clues to five dollars. It also voted to open mem- bership to junior collectors beginning January 1, 1972. In her report, Editor Barbara R. Mueller emphasized the need for a continuing flow of articles to fill the in- creasing number of pages being printed quarterly to balance the demand for more advertising space. She pointed out areas for possible economies and promised significant improvements in the appearance of PAPER MONEY beginning in 1972. As Librarian, she also re- ported on the appointment of a committee chaired by William E. Harrison to produce a ten-year cumulative index to PAPER MONEY and make recommendations on the binding and possible reproduction of the early issues, which are rapidly being worn out in circulation. George Wait and Richard Hoober then disclosed that negotiations with a commercial publisher for printing and distributing the rest of the obsolete note listings at an advantageous price for members are nearly finalized. They expect the project to go forward quickly, perhaps before the end of 1971. Mr. Smedley, speaking for the Nominating Committee, presented the following slate of candidates for the Board of Governors: Maurice M. Gould. David A. Hakes, Brent H. Hughes. Charles O'Donnell. Glenn B. Smedley. All nominees were unanimously elected. Since Mr. Smedley chose not to stand for reelection, the new Board then elected J. Roy Pennell, Jr. as presi- dent. To replace him as vice-president, they chose Robert E. Medlar. Secretary Vernon Brown and Treas- urer Owen Warns retained their offices. Mr. Smedley, speaking for the Awards Committee, made the following presentations: Literary Awards for the best articles in PAPER MONEY: First, to Michael M. Byckoff for "Paper Money Issued in Russia During World War I. 1915-1918." Second. to Peter Huntoon for "1882 and 1902 Series National Bank Note Varieties Due to Large Circulations." Third, to Roland Carrothers for "Silver Certificates— The Mule and the Common Bank Plate Numbers." An Award of Merit for a significant contribution to the Society was given Maurice M. Burgett for his work on the Kansas obsolete note listing. The Julian Blanchard Memorial Award for the best exhibit combining proof notes, stamps and paper money went to Thomas F. Morris. The Nathan Gold Memorial Award, given to the So- ciety by Numismatic News for honoring anyone who has made a concrete contribution to the advancement of paper money collecting, was presented by Chester Krause to William Philpott, Jr. The Lewis M. Reagan Foundation Award was pre- sented this year by Sol Kaplan in memory of Julian Marks of Cincinnati to David Walsworth, a youthful ex- hibitor of Confederate and obsolete currency. Every guest at the dinner received complimentary copies of The Canadian Paper Money Journal and of Ed Neuce's new booklet published by Coin. World, "Price Guide for the Collector of U. S. Paper Money Errors." While a complete list of ANA exhibition awards is not available at the time of this writing, it is known that SPMC'ers George Wait, Walter Allan and John Morris won firsts.

There is no need now to belabor the effects of the inflationary spiral on labor and postage costs on our operations. The figures in the Treasurer's report show- ing an excess of some two thousand dollars of expendi- tures over income prove the point. Therefore, in order to maintain our present level of services, including the quality of PAPER MONEY, the Board of Governors voted to increase the annual dues one dollar to five dollars. Please note this new figure on your dues notice which will be mailed shortly. In- cidentally, this issue which you are now reading is the largest ever published. The Winner's Circle At the June 12-13. 1971 convention of Numismatists of Wisconsin. the largest in the organization's history. Virgil Jackson of Beaver Dam, Wis.. took the best-of- show honors with a display of 57 specimens of U. S. paper money errors. He also received recognition for the most educational exhibit. The Daniel Boone Coin Club of Reading, Pa. awarded honors to two SPMC members at its spring 1971 show. Best-of-show went to Val Pasvolsky for Colonial money and Indian wampum. A first went to Paul Seitz for his Reading and Berks County paper money. At the ninth annual show of the Atlantic County Coin Club at Atlantic City. N. J., no formal awards were given. Instead, appreciation was extended to such exhibitors as Andrew Beck, who showed New Jersey notes of all periods. Nelson. Aspen ("Doc") won first prize in paper money at the April 1971 West Chester, Pa. Coin Show with an exhibit of red seal U. S. notes, small size. Later the exhibit was placed in a local bank lobby for National Coin Week. Library Notes The SPMC Library continues to be enriched by the generosity of authors and publishers.

No. 2—Apr. 1971 ( The January 1971 issue was erroneously listed as Vol. 8, No. 1 instead of Vol. 7, No. 1 in the last issue of PAPER MONEY.) The Essay-Proof Journal: Vol. 27. No. 2, Spring 1971 The Numismatist: Vol. 84, Nos. 4-6 Paper Money: Vol. 10, No. 2, 1971 Supercheck! A recent New York Times Service copyrighted story told of a new concept in banking developed by the First National Bank of Arizona called "supercheck." This is a larger than usual check which has. in addition to the customer's name and numbers, the names of 48 payees ranging from the hank and its competitors to major re- tailers and oil companies. The idea is to simplify the bill paying. The customer merely fills in the amount of money to be paid to each payee and sends the check and bill stubs to the bank. It does the rest for a 50c a check fee. Supercheck is popular with merchants because they have fewer checks to process and with customers because they have fewer to write. The banks like it because it of- ten retains money in their hands for long periods. Larger banks, including the Chase Manhattan, have been at- tracted to it. A similar plan called "superdraft" is offered by the Denver United States National Bank. According to the Times, variations are expected to be offered in many more locations in 1971. Is Paper Money Collecting Notaphily? The hybrid name for paper money collecting devised by the British philatelic firm of Stanley Gibbons Ltd. has aroused considerable scorn and dismay in the press. An editorialist in The Philatelic Exporter offered a Manx cat to any reader who could improve on the term "notaphily"! So far the only entry in his contest is "paprimonics," suggested by A. W. Hughes. It is based on "papyrus" for paper and "monete" from which money" is derived. A collector would be a "papri- monist." As alternatives he gives "papyristics" and "papyrist." although the latter has a certain resemblance to a religious term. In 1864, Thomas De La Rue obtained his first order for currency notes, the 5 Mauritius. These were bound into books of 500 and were used with a counterfoil similar to the modern check. In 1866 an order from Italy for five-lire notes followed. Since then the House of De La Rue has printed hank and currency notes for over 80 countries throughout the world. It is not generally known that on the outbreak of the 1914-18 war De La Rue printed the first British note below the five pound denomination issued since 1825. They manufactured ten shilling Treasury Notes on stamp paper provided by the Inland Revenue at 48 hours' no- tice. They were signed by John Bradbury, Secretary to the Treasury. —The Essay-Proof Journal, No. 52 "Disastrous," "eyesore," "a catastrophe"—these are words used by a major Canadian publication to describe the highly touted $20 note design of 1970. Canadian Saturday Night claims that no one person can be blamed for "this generation's ugliest graphic design." Like the proverbial camel, it was created by a committee.

BOX 10144-W, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI 64111 -PU CLIC AUCTION SALE OF THE CELE It RATED AL CERT A, GRINNELL COLLECTION OF UNITED STATES PAPER MONEY CATALOGUED BY ARNEY IL LUESTONE, NOVEM It ER 25, 1944, AT I P. Mn SHARP." How many of you remember this sale? This auction was so large it took two years to catalogue and sell, and took seven auc- tion catalogues with 700 pages to print all the paper money Grinnell owned. This gigantic sale was the largest public and mail auction ever held for U.S. Paper Money. The auction began on November 25, 1944, and the last session was held on November 30, 1946. We have answered the collectors' and dealers' needs. We have reprinted (identically) 1,000 copies of all seven volumes (7 catalogues). All are bound under one hard cover (700 pages) with prices realized. Today, no more than 15 complete units of all seven original catalogues exist. If a complete set were avail- able, the asking price would be well over $100. We noticed under "IMPORTANT NOTICE - in the front of Part VII catalogue that Barney Bluestone offered for sale intact in 1946 all seven copies bound for $25.00. Well, 25 years later, we offer the same exact thing in reprint. It is the same size, the same paper and same everything for the same price of $25 postage paid. All books are numbered from 1 to 1000. We expect a quick sell out so send check for exact number of copies requested. ORDER FROM EITHER: MOREY PERLMUTTER WOODCLIFF INVESTMENT CORP. P. 0. Box 48 P. 0.
