Owen Warns jT may be said with an air of certainty that when the small-size National Bank Notes made their initial appearance in June of 1929, no one could have en- visioned the number of intriguing bank-officer signature varieties that would grace the issues of the slightly more than 6,000 banks authorized to circulate currency then. These varieties are attributable to four main causes: First, the usual personnel changes due to election to office, resignations, retirements. deaths, etc. that neces- sitated signature changes. Second, the depression- wrought institutional changes due to bank failures, receiverships, consolidations, mergers and assumptions that necessitated changes in bank titles and the addition of such words as "Trust Company" and "Association." Third. the unusual penmanship displayed by some signers. Fourth, signatures inadvertently or otherwise advertising the signer or the institution and combinations displaying a relationship between signers.* Pages 76 and 77, The National Bank Note Issues of 1929-1935 illustrate examples of brother and brother sig- natures, brother and sister signatures, and same sig- natures for both cashier and president.

(The Kear-signed note is from the last delivery of notes made to a National Bank, belatedly occurring two months after the issuance of National Bank notes had ceased.) "Swirls and Loops" Elaborate -looped" signatures by both cashier and president. Women's Lib on National Currency Signed Mrs. M. S. Pierson, President. She assumed that office on the death of her husband in 1909, the latter having organized the original Haskell National Bank in 1890, chartered as No. 4474. Mrs. Pierson was president from 1909 until her death in 1947. During her term of office the bank was liquidated in 1934 and was succeeded by the present reorganized bank chartered as No. 14149. The signature of her son A. C. Pierson as cashier reveals it to have been a family-operated bank. The son suc- ceeded his mother to the presidency at her death in 1947 and continued in that office until 1967 when most of the hank stock was sold to other interests. MIEN 1111101111.

Johnson prepared his signature for use on the 1929 notes he is- advertently added the professional degree letters "M.D." (doctor of medicine). This unusual note escaped the scrutiny of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The notes illustrated in this article afford a partial insight into some of these varieties and lend credence to the belief that many more must exist. Before these pass uncovered and unexplained into oblivion, we should make a strenuous effort to identify their characteristics. These signature varieties ran rampant during the six years of issuance of the small-size National Bank Notes, so good hunting!

Levitt, Vernon H. Oswald. Louis Van Belkum and John Waters. More Anent that New York City Scrip of the War of 1812 Period By Edward R. Barnsley The illustrated article by Howard Baron in PAPER MONEY No. 39 did much to clear up the long-standing mystery concerning the distinctive notes of the Corpor- ation of the City of New York, all of which are exces- sively rare and have never before been fully described in numismatic literature. The mystery concerning them is far from fully solved, however. As the author said, the Board of Aldermen never authorized the 2c note. Also, there is no account- ing for the discrepancy in dates. The illustration of Baron's thin paper insert in Valentine's Manual shows that the 6c note and the 12 tAc note are both dated 26 Dec. 1814. However, the illustration of these same notes on thick paper. purchased by Baron in Amsterdam, shows that the latter are dated 3 July 1815. So what was the correct issue date, or were there. in fact, two? In 1902, The MacMillan Company published the first of several editions of Sun-Dials and Roses of Yesterday written by Alice Morse Earle. As might he expected from its title, this hook contains references to the pro- bable origin of the familiar sundial design used on early American Fugio coins and currency. This citation has been unnoticed by the numerous writers in recent years who have been identifying Benjamin Franklin as the author of Continental Currency mottoes. Concerning the London origin of this design, Mrs. Earle wrote: "It will be recalled that Franklin had known much of the postal system of Great Britain before he became post- master general for the American colonies under the crown. And he had lived long in London, where on the general post-office was a sun-dial with the motto, BE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. I have never doubted that it was entirely Franklin's taste which supplied to our new na- tion the sun-dial design and the motto MIND YOUR BUSINESS. In this form, and the one on the London post-office, and in the form. BEGONE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS, it was found on several English sun-dials. The one in the Inner Temple owed its motto to a surly reply given to a dial-maker who asked at the Temple li- brary, as he had been instructed for 'the motto for the new sun-dial, sir.' `Begone about your business!' was the testy answer of the only inmate of the library. And a very good motto it seemed to the dial-maker, and the Benchers also, after it was put up."

Dickerson I- 11-1 n 11-14-.11--0 MN October of 1918, Germany was in a state of shock. All that summer, the Ger- • man people had been told by their government that the war was going well, at first when it really was, and even later when it was not. It was a severe blow, there- fore. when General Ludendorff announced to the nation at the beginning of October that Germany needed an immediate end to the war on any terms that were required. A liberal government set up on October 3 with Prince Max von Baden as Chancellor began negotiating with the Allies. On October 23, sailors at Kiel mutinied upon being ordered to undertake what they considered to be a pointless mission, and the rebellion spread to Hamburg and other cities. On November 9, the Kaiser was forced to abdicate. The German Empire came to an end. A Republic was proclaimed in Berlin. and two days later the Armistice brought World War I to a close. Bismarck's Second Reich was shattered, and a con fused German people waited to see what would take its place. Against this background of unrest began one of the more frustrating episodes of German monetary history. II- II I FIRST SIGNS OF A CURRENCY CRISIS In times of crisis and uncertainty, people lose confidence in public institutions and begin looking out for them- selves. Gold and silver coins began to be hoarded soon after war broke out in 1914, and rapidly vanished from circulation. The gap was filled by official banknotes (Darlehenskassenscheine, or Loan Bureau Notes) for 1 to 50 Marks, and by unofficial (and strictly speaking ille- gal) issues of "Notgeld" or emergency scrip in the smaller Mark denominations by cities and private businesses. By the summer of 1916, even the minor coins had vir- tually disappeared. Their place was taken by a second wave of unauthorized Pfennig-value Notgeld, the so-called "Kleingeld." The Reichsbank, while disapproving, could only look the other way, because it had no remedy of its own for the currency shortage. THE GROSSGELD OF 1918 By autumn of 1918, the Reichsdruckerei, or government printing house, was in desperate shape. Military conscrip- tion had taken away many employees, and strikes and illness had crippled the efficiency of those who were left. The war was being financed mainly by printing new money, and the Mark had fallen to half of its prewar value of 24c. The demands of the war effort were un- ending. The more notes that were printed, however, the more the Mark fell; and the more its value dropped, the more paper money was needed to maintain the same total purchasing power in circulation. The entire shaky financial edifice was beginning to come apart at the seams. Reluctantly, the harassed Reichsbank took two steps that would have been unthinkable a few years earlier: It decided to call on private firms for help in printing Reichs- banknotes, and to authorize responsible city governments and businesses to issue their own currency. As with the repeal of Prohibition in the United States in 1932, this was merely giving official sanction to a practice that was going on anyway, but official sanction was an admission of how serious the situation had become. These private notes, known as "Grossgeld" because of their high face values, were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, and occasionally even 100 Marks. Even at the inflated rate of seven Marks to the dollar, these were still substantial sums of money. Local pride caused most of these issues to be well-made and attractive notes, with heraldic devices and illustrations of landmarks. The Reichsbank agreed to pay for half the cost of printing these notes, and to absorb half of any losses arising from counterfeiting. As a discouragement to counterfeiters, each note bore a warning that it was only valid until 1 February 1919, 1 the hope being that it would not be worth- while to forge notes that would be valueless before the counterfeit plates were ready. In this, the Reichsbank badly underestimated the ingenuity of private enterprise. But with their own new 50 Mark Reichsbanknote, they provided a target so simple and so easy to copy that they unintentionally drew fire away from the Grossgeld. THE TRAUERSCHEIN Prewar Reichsbanknotes had been superb copperplate engravings, printed on small hand presses using expen- sive and often handmade paper. The process was too slow and too costly for wartime needs, so in 1914 the new Darlehenskassenscheine were mixtures of engraving (Tief- druck) and letterpress printing (Hochdruck), in which the design to be inked and transferred is raised above the surface of the plate as with ordinary type. This was a dangerous compromise with security that would lead directly to the troubles that are the subject of this article. One last Reichsbanknote appeared in the old engraved style: the 20 Mark of 1915 (JH 26). 2 A 50 Mark was planned to accompany it in 1916, but the design was shelved because of engraving costs. (We will see this note again later.) Nothing was done about a 50 Mark denomination for two years. In the midst of the financial crisis of late 1918, the Reichsbank decided that the gap had to be filled. A 50 Mark note would be issued, but with the help of an out- side printer: the old established firm of Otto Elsner in Berlin. For speed, and because Elsner was not set up for copperplate reproduction, the note would be a simpli- fied design produced entirely in letterpress or Hochdruck. The result was the 50 Mark issue of 20 October 1918 shown in Figure 1 (JH 29). The banknote was an unmitigated disaster. It was so crudely executed that it looked like its own counterfeit. Its printed imitations of machine scrollwork and web- work were ragged and uneven. Elsner could print it, true, but so could anyone else with a halfway decent press, and counterfeiters had a field day.

The note was finally removed from circulation and declared invalid on September 10 of the following year. Because of its early demise, it is now one of the rarer of twentieth- century German banknotes, a fact which is reflected in its catalog price (see Appendix). The most striking feature of the ill-fated 50 Mark note was its heavy black border, which gave it the nick- name of the "Trauerschein" (Memorial note) or "To- desanzeigen" (Funeral announcement). The design could have been a coincidence, but with the German war effort going down to disaster, this may well have been the vale- dictory comment of some anonymous Reichsdruckerei artist. The Trauerschein was the last note to bear the Im- perial crowned eagle or other symbols of the German Empire, although the eagle is so faintly silhouetted in the webwork background of the obverse that it seems to be fading into oblivion (another coincidence?). There were no Reichsbank seals, an unprecedented departure from tradition. It could be that the Reichsbank was ashamed of its stepchild and wished to give it no more expressions of official approval than were necessary. It could also be that in the rush to get the notes out, someone simply forgot. The Trauerschein had the odd distinction of being the first 50 Mark note since the founding of the Reich in 1871 to restore the Umlaut to the "u" in "Funfzig." Earlier Prussian notes had used the now obsolete "Funfzig," and the Reichsbank (which was formed by a reorganization of the Prussian Bank) faithfully kept this tradition, through five different 50 Mark notes from 1876 to 1914. The change in spelling was in a sense a rejection of the Prussian tradition. In this as in other ways, the Trauer- schein was a "revolutionary" note.4 This was the first example of a "Hilfsbanknote," or provisional issue intended for use only until regular notes were available. Beneath the standard promise to pay to bearer, the note read, "From 1 March 1919 on, this banknote can be called in and retired by exchange for other lawful currency." This formula would be seen again and again during the 1922-23 inflation, when the Reichsbank struggled to keep a thin veneer of respect- ability over a chaos of printing-press money. Two different kinds of watermarked paper gave the Trauerschein a minimal protection against counterfeiting. The "Reichsdruckerei Wellen" pattern of Figure 3a was used exclusively by the Reichsbank for bonds and securi- ties, and would have been difficult for a forger to obtain. But the "Schippen" design, Figure 3b, was readily avail- able on the open market and could have been as easily purchased by counterfeiters as by Otto Elsner. Many of the Grossgeld used this same watermark. It is hard to see why Elsner would have used watermarked paper from open stock for Reichsbanknotes, but the choice was prob- ably dictated by the haste with which the notes were issued. After the debacle of the Trauerschein, neither watermark was ever used again for a Reichsbanknote. THE BILDERR A IIMEN With the failure of the Trauerschein, the Reichsbank tried again with a more intricate design. By the turn of the year a new 50 Mark note was ready, bearing the date 30 November 1918 (Figure 4, JH 30). It was a let- terpress note printed by Elsner and two or three other private firms whose names have been lost. It promptly acquired several not-too-complimentary nicknames: "Bil- derrahmen" (Picture frame), "Eierschein", (Egg note) be- cause of the oval designs on front and back, or "Weine- tikette" (Wine label). It was technically a Hilfsbanknote like its predecessor, although it did not display a specific call-up warning or a termination date.

It is the only Reichsbanknote ever issued on which the German eagle cannot be found. Although simplified for private printers like the earlier note, the Bilderrahmen did have a few traps built in to make forgery difficult. The shading on the picture frame consisted of sets of tapered lines which had to be printed :4011,111. cincirita[)anitnote 9 etritsan licuipika COI ii:CAU2k) ?de de4;114 frr. cf^eritn Lien JCLA; ern-go-10i b. firirit*I;vanOliref.liori ./ t•,, /=,...•••n e2.

In the latter, very slight imperfections in thickness of these tapered shading lines are magnified into gross irregularities in alignment of the tips. The fine-toothed shading marks on the outer beading of the frame were a further stumbling-block for the forger, as was the cross-hatched grid around the legend. Had the official printers themselves been more careful, then the registration of the oval designs on front and back could have been used to check for counterfeits, but this was apparently too much for the private printing houses to manage. The mistake of using a commercially available watermark paper was repeated: the "Stern-Sech- seck-Muster" of Figure 3c. The Bilderrahmen proved as easy to imitate as the Trauerschein, and one unimagina- tive soul even used the Bilderrahmen watermark paper for counterfeit Trauerscheins! The Reichsbank had no choice but to call in these notes and try a third time. (The Bilderrahmen were invalidated as currency on 31 January 1921, but redeemed at the Reichsbank offices in Berlin until 31 August 1921.) In frustration, the Reichsbank turned to Vienna for help. BUYING TIME - THE VIENNESE NOTE The Wiener Staatsdruckerei (Vienna State Press) of the Austro-Hungarian Bank was an established banknote printing house with a style and a tradition of its own. The Reichsbank went to them in early 1919 and said in essence, "Help us to design a banknote that will be both simple enough for authorized private firms to handle, yet intricate enough to foil the average counterfeiter." The result was the new 50 Mark note of 24 June 1919 (Figure 6; JH 31), which quickly became known as the "Wiener" or Viennese note. It was produced by four agencies, distinguished by four Reihen or Series numbers. Reihe 1 notes from the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin and Reihe 2 notes from the Wiener Staatsdruckerei were first issued in November of 1919 (in spite of their June date). The firms of W. Biixenstein and Otto Elsner in Berlin apparently played backup roles, and did not begin issuing their Reihe 3 and Reihe 4 notes until mid-1920. Although the new banknote was not proof against forgery, it was a great improvement over its predeces- sors. It was designed to resemble an engraved note as closely as possible. Letterpress printing could not match copperplate engraving for fineness of line, so the Wiener note used other safety devices, including multiple print- ing plates requiring accurate registration, and the op- tical trickery of Moire fringes. It also recognized the value of a portrait in screening counterfeits. As the designers of U. S. notes well know, an erroneous line that will pass unnoticed in an abstract design can give a portrait head a "wrong" expression that practically shouts "fake" to the trained observer. Although no artistic mas- terpiece, the Wiener is a beautiful example of the maxi- mum use of the capabilities of letterpress printing methods. Other notes may be more subtle, but in few other notes are there so many obvious technical devices for making forgery difficult. Four separate plates were used to print the obverse of the note: a) An orange-brown background plate, b) A faint grey "safety" plate with tide horizontal wavy lines (Look at the rosette below the "50" in Figure 6. The waves are cut away so they do not show within the "50" itself or the "flinfzig Mark." This plate also contributes diagonal lines across the portrait.), c) A green plate with the principal design as seen in Figure 6, and d) A purple plate bearing seals, serial numbers, and signatures. In a well-printed note the brown rosette below the "50" would be perfectly centered within a slightly larger cutout Ririctlebnnetici40, gaffe in ,12,;i2flin:giO'on",bi'efe ,Nbatlinot tv.11PITeuttragrIleso of:4a s um Whole No. 41 Paper Money PAGE 11 Figure 5—Details of the frame on a real ( left) and a possibly counterfeit (right) of the tapered shading lines on the counterfeit note do not fall on a straight line.

Moire fringes are used for quality control in physics and in the optical industry. They are also seen in certain silk and satin fabrics.

The reverse of the Wiener used three plates: el An orange-brown background plate which contributes more to the overall pattern than on the obverse. f) A dark brown safety plate with fine horizontal wavy lines (Look within the "50" or "RBD" in. Figure 7), and g) A blue plate with the principal design. As on the obverse, the blue and orange-brown plates had matching design elements which were tell-tale warnings of misregistration. The scalloped edges on all three plates and the totally cut-out rectangle in the center containing the warning to counterfeiters both served a similar pur- pose. The two safety wave plates on front and back, b) and f), besides being inconspicuous and easily overlooked, contained hair-thin lines that required a high standard of printing if they were not to appear ragged and un- even. The thicker diagonal wavy lines on plate g) played the same roll. But there was more: In a well-printed note, the waves in plates f) and g) overlapped to produce an optical interference pattern known as Moire fringes (Figure 8). This device is used today on many banknotes, the current Swiss notes being particularly good examples. Like the tapered shading on the Bilderrahmen, Moire fringes magnify trivial flaws in execution of a design and make them conspicuous. They place an extra burden on the clandestine engraver. The actual printing of the new note was far from what it should have been. The design of the Wiener was bet- ter than its manufacturers could handle. The kinds of flaws that showed up in each Reihe are indicated in Table 1. Sixty-eight percent of Bfixenstein's notes were issued with the diagonal waves on the reverse muddy and broken to the point that one could not tell whether a note was spurious or not (Figure 9c). In contrast, only 2% of the Reichsdruckerei notes were flawed in this way, and 15% of those from Vienna. Elsner was almost as dependable. Reihe 2 and 3 notes were especially poor in controlling registration of brown and green plates on the obverse, but Elsner's Reihe 4 notes were even better than those from the Reichsdruckerei. Elsner's problem was his inability to control inking of the green plate on the obverse, leading to a muddy portrait with filled shad- ing lines. Even the Reichsdruckerei fell down on this feature 10% of the time. Overall, however, the consist- ently worst offender was Btixenstein. It is not too much of an exaggeration to describe his Reihe 3 notes, which appeared in late 1920, as "authorized counterfeits." With such poor quality control, how is one to recognize a real counterfeit when he encounters it? Over half of the 200 Reihe 3 notes, if compared singly with one of the best from Reihe 1, would be called a fake. It is very likely that several of the 800 notes examined are spurious. It is impossible to tell how many since there is no clear break between good notes and bad—the range in quality of legitimate notes is too large. Many counterfeit Wiener notes did appear in circulation; so many that the note was eventually replaced. Figure 9—Details of reverses of three Wiener notes: (a) An authentic Reihe 1 note with Moire fringes visible in the left margin. Figure 7 at a very shallow angle.) (b) A counterfeit Reihe 2 note. The diagonal waves are both broken in some places and blotched in others, with ink between the lines. The color also has an unnatural blue-green cast never seen on a genuine note. The safety wave plate 1), visible in the digit "5," is too weak to beat against the diagonal wave plate and produce Moire fringes. A view from a shallow angle here shows only the ripples of the diagonal wave plate g). (c) An authentic but poor quality Reihe 3 note. The diagonal waves are sharp but broken in places, as if a good quality plate had been improperly inked and pressed. The colors are normal. The safety plate is again too faintly printed to produce Moire fringes. (Tilt the page back and look at this and RI.

One specimen out of the 800 examined was markedly in- ferior to any of Biixenstein's reverses or Elsner's portraits, and is by far the worst of perhaps five or six which were felt to be possible counterfeits.

Lines are broken or missing in some places, and filled with too much ink in others. Alignment of all plates is quite good, but the blue plate g) on the reverse is both broken and muddy (Figure 9b), and has a greenish tinge. On the face of this note, someone has numbered it "10" in the top margin with indelible pencil, and has written "Bahn- hof" (Railway station) in the left margin. Is this a contemporary record by the authorities of where this note was picked up, and how many were found before it? All of the safety devices—multiple plates with matching cutouts, portrait heads, fine parallel wavy lines, over- lapping scalloped borders, and Moire fringes—were taken from the standard repertoire of the Wiener Staatsdruck- erei. A Polish 100 Mark note of 23 September 1919 printed in the Staatsdruckerei has all of these features (Figure 11). It is not only in the same tradition as the Wiener, but is undoubtedly by the same hand. The Wiener was counterfeited, but much less extensively than the Trauer- schein or the Bilderrahmen. With all of its special design features, it should have been proof against forgery. The fact that it was not, only confirms what was apparent from the start: Private firms cannot achieve the quality that well-equipped State banknote houses are capable of, and as soon as a design is degraded to accommodate "amateurs," then a Pandora's box of questionable notes is opened. THE END OF THE CRISIS, AND THE SUNNY MAID The troubles of the Reichsbank seemed to go on without end. The entire episode would have taken on the attri- butes of a black comedy, if it had not been so expensive. Three successive letterpress notes had failed, the last one using the full talents of the Austro-Hungarian Bank. The relative success of the Wiener had bought time for the Reichsbank to fight its way out of a postwar currency shortage, but the Wiener was obviously not safe enough to be a permanent issue. Moreover, it was patently a for- eign design, grafted onto a quite different Reichsbank tradition. The only way to produce a secure 50 Mark note was to return to engraving methods. The production of en- graved 20, 100, and 1,000 Mark banknotes had never stopped, and it had been a costly error to try to get by cheaply with the 50 Mark. The old design for the un- completed 1916 note was resurrected and brought into production. It appeared as the "Sunny Maid" of 23 July 1920, shown in Figure 12 (JH 36). It was the most beautiful and harmonious design that the Reichsbank had produced since the beginning of the war, and is an obvious mate for the 20 mark of 1915 (compare their reverses). It once again used hair-thin engraved lines in ornamental designs and portrait, and a good quality, specially made watermarked paper with colored threads in one end. (The Wiener did not use watermarked paper.) It also started a tradition. The framed portrait head to the left or the right side of an unsymmetrical yet balanced design was to become a virtual trademark of German banknotes from 1920 to the end of World War II. At the end of 1920, "normalcy" had apparently returned to the Reichsdruckerei. The various issues of emergency Notgeld had disappeared at last, and the Pfennig-value Kleingeld had degenerated to gaudy "toy" money printed especially for collectors, like San Marino commemorative stamps. The experiment with privately printed Reichs- banknotes was over, and surely would never be tried again. The young Weimar Republic had issued a full set of 1, 2, 10, 50, and 100 Mark notes (JH 32-37), and no new notes would be forthcoming before 1922. Only the mount- ing troubles over war debts and reparations, and the slow bleeding away of the exchange value of the Mark, were warnings that Germany's greatest fiscal troubles were yet to come. The currency crisis of 1918-20 was therefore not the end but only the beginning.

The pattern in 1918-20 was of two privately-printed Hilfsbanknotes issued to buy time, a stopgap replacement that barely worked, and finally the resumption of normal note issues. This pattern would be followed again in 1922-23, until finally it was drowned in the rising tide of inflation, every note became a Hilfs- banknote, and counterfeiting became an unprofitable way to make a living.

NOTES Few cities had enough Reichsbanknotes on hand to redeem all of their currency by February of 1919. But by October almost all of the Grossgeld had been called in and either destroyed or cancelled for sale to collectors, a lucrative sideline in its own right. Catalog numbers in parentheses are from Jaeger-Haevecker (see References). In response to a preprint of this paper, one reader asked for more details on recognizing a counterfeit of the October 20 note (the "Trauerschein"). This is hard to answer, for the Trauerschein is so scarce that it is impossible to examine a set of 800 as with the Weiner note to be described later, or even 20 as with the Bilderrahmen. Besides the counterfeit Trauerschein kindly loaned by Dr. Albert Pick, I have only seen the two notes in my own collection, and know of the existence of only three more in this country. However, I would be delighted to have the opportunity of examining any other Trauerscheins, suspected counterfeits or not, and comparing them with my own. When returning your note(s 1, I would be happy to include with them a set of glossy prints of real and counterfeit Trauerscheins as un- covered to date. Because this note was circulating at the time of Sparticist com- munist uprisings in Berlin in late 1918 and early 1919, it also became known, unjustly, as the "Bolschewistenschein" (Bolshevist note). It did, indeed, look like the sort of provisional currency that might be turned out by a revolutionary government. For these first few months, it was touch-and-go whether Germany would become com- munist or not, and the central government was less concerned with turning out artistic banknotes than with simply staying alive. s The "Wellen" watermark found in later inflation notes is a different pattern. °Catalog numbers: JH=Jaeger-Haevecker ; P=Pick, "Catalog of European Paper Money"; R=Rosenberg, "Banknoten".

PHILPOTT, JR. On October 10, 1971, less than two months after he received our Society's Nathan Gold Award, William A. Philpott, Jr.—"Mr. Phil"—died at the age of 86 in his home in Texas. Expressive of his characteristic modesty was the letter of acceptance of this honor addressed to SPMC past president, Glenn Smedley: "In my name, please express proper appreciation to all those who thought up such a pleasant credit leaf for my ledger— ever though I did not deserve such recognition. Thanks over and over to the SPMC." Tom Bain, another past president of SPMC. told of how Mr. Phil went to a lot of trouble, "trouble he loved, in helping the young collectors. He told them about books to buy, how to learn something instead of just accumulating." After graduation from the University of Texas, Mr. Phil first served as a reporter on the San Antonio Express and as night editor of the Austin American in Texas. In 1913. he was elected secretary of the Texas Bankers Association, a position he held for over a half century, an all-time record. He was responsible for bringing that organization to national prominence. At the time of his death, he was consultant to the Association. At one time Mr. Phil held one of the finest money collections in the world. In 1929, he turned to paper money collecting and became a preeminent authority within a short time. In 1968, he was awarded the 50- year gold membership medal of the American Num- ismatic Association. As a recognized expert on money he had a daily radio program in 1927 on rare coins, aired on station WFAA in Dallas. Mr. Phil also amassed one of the finest collections known of early Texas letters, manuscripts and historical documents. He authored 16 books, including In Praise of Ignorance, itself a collector's item. A star athlete. Mr. Phil once won the Texas state gymnastic contest. An avid golfer from the age of 40. he won many amateur contests and was able to shoot his age for a number of years, even at 86. He accumulated six holes-in-one over the years. He was to have played in a Texas bankers golf tournament at Seguin. on Octo- ber 11th. Mr. Phil's custom of sending personalized greetings on his birthday was continued up to his last on Septem- ber 17. 1971. Because it is filled with the sage wisdom of great age tempered with perennial youthfulness, we reprint his greetings here as a memorial: It is folly to fear old age or attempt to evade it. Day- by-day Time takes all living things farther along the glorious road of life. As for me, an octogenarian—I am made proud by advancing years, and rejoice at each suc- cessive natal anniversary. Phil Salutes his Birthday 1971 Wise men hold that youth is the time of gladness; and all agree that each intelligent individual, during the first years of life, must make provisions for the last. Such a pattern of behavior, since early adulthood, has become a habit with me. Looking to the future with cheerful- ness of spirit, with complaisance and kindliness toward fel- low folks, has up-graded enormously the functioning of my solitary brain cell. And what is more, the practice of gazing forward in pleasant expectation has kept the body spry and the heart young. In early boyhood, inquiring adults often asked this question: "How old are you, sonny?" My quick, positive, and respectful reply was: "I'm 5 going-on 6." This age- boasting tendency still runs rampant in my blood. No longer ago than today—the 86th of my natal years—an inquisitive friend queried: "Phil, quoting Pharoah as he talked 'unto Jacob, How old art thou'?" Pride jumped to my tongue, and I replied with a sparkle in each eye: "I'm 86 going-on 87." What the morrow promises has always captivated me. In larger measure my life has been built from blueprints, which assure tomorrows will more nearly meet my re- quirements and dreams than did the yesterdays. My to- days are definitely tilted toward the offerings of years, months, weeks, even days that belong to the future. The yesteryears lay quietly in shrouds of sweet memories and contentment, as they should. As long as my future is kept in focus, life will continue to charm and invigorate me. The go-go attitude will preserve me as fresh, as pleasant as free of complaints, even as rollicking as the flowers in Spring. I make sure none of these trivia "bug" me: medicare and medicos; bussing little children (and big children) across town to school; war (even ours) in foreign countries; cigarette smoking; wage and price freezing; long hair, ditto mustache and beard on the callow youth; loose morals and crooked politicians; breakdown of law and order; hot pants on broad mamas; selling liquor by the drink, the theater's invasion by nudity and por- nography; drug addiction; pollution of the elements; weight watchers; women who have "come a long way, baby," and all the phobias, religious fanaticism, and what have you, which flourish in the land (particularly in California). Being the youngest old person I know, let me declare that folks are happiest when they reach and pass sixty. They do not whimper at grey hairs; neither do wrinkles and dentures bring on a panic. Oldsters I run around with realize that the only way to increase interesting thoughts in their heads is to live long, enthusiastic and intelligent lives. Come now, doesn't everybody wish to join me in going ahead to the one hundred mark? The echo is a booming yes! Thatta boy, or girl! I'll drink to the proposition— except I don't drink. William Albert Philpott, Jr. Dallas, September 17th, 1971 Beginning of the 87th Lap on Life's Speedway Shortly before Mr. Phil passed away, he submitted to PAPER MONEY his last writing of the many articles and studies on U. S. paper currency. We are honored to present this final work of a rare man and scholar as another memorial in the hope that it will inspire others to emulate him. Whole No. 41 Paper Money PAGE 19 Variant Issues of White-Mellon Federal Reserve Notes, Series 1914 By William A. Philpott, Jr. FDR some reason or other the Federal Reserve Notes,series 1914, issued by the U. S. Treasury Depart- ment, have been neglected by paper currency collectors. Certainly, few writers have explored and researched this appealing and important bypath of numismatology. These notes were the first folding money issued for the 12 Federal Reserve Banks, which institutions were authorized by an Act of Congress. dated December 23, 1913. The first issue of this series was put in circulation in December, 1914. It bore seals and serial numbers in red ink. (Story in The Numismatist, July 1971, pages 971-75, authored by this writer. I Subsequent issues, Federal Reserve notes of this first series (1914), covering approximately 15 years. appeared with seals and serials overprinted in blue ink. This currenc y included denomi- nations of $5. $10, $20. 850 and $100. It 1, as issued for each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. These notes were the first U. S. paper currency to carry the signa- tures, in facsimile, of the Treasurer and the Secretary of the Treasury. Prior to 1914, all U. S. currency bore the names of the Register of the Treasury and the Treasurer. The Federal Reserve Notes, series of 1914. which went through the presses from 1914 to 1928 inclusive carried four different signature combinations of U. S. Treasury officials: Burke-McAdoo (both red and blue seals) ; Burke-Glass; Burke-Houston; and White-Mellon. Burke and McAdoo had a tenure of nearly six years; Burke and Glass were together slightly more than a year. The Burke-Houston term ran a bit shorter than one year, while White and Mellon served nearly seven years together. This present study is directed toward the last of these signature combinations. the White-Mellon reign. From this seven-year term, three different issues of Federal Reserve notes came forth. In Bob Friedberg's excellent book on currency, the White-Mellon combination notes are labelled a, b, and c. No doubt additional a-b-c's of the three variant issues, already listed, remain to be discovered and reported. Early in the 1950's this writer observed these three variant issues. Authors such as George Blake, D. S. Wismer, Wayte Raymond. et al, overlooked these issues. Collectors, among them Albert Grinnell, Fred Boyd. Jim Wade, and others, were unaware of these varieties. In my opinion, these three variants cannot be considered as different type notes. They are merely three issues, representing notes with small but distinct differences. In the late 1950's Tom Bain of Dallas was assigned the job of research on the three issues which are found only on the White-Mellon notes. The Bain study brought out several points. But since the Treasury Department did not keep separate records on these issues. there has been little material from which to draw conclusions. Mr. Bain and the writer, however, did furnish sufficient facts to Bob Friedberg so that he listed these issues, as many as we were able to locate, in his Third and sub- sequent Editions. Mr. Bain first authored a story for The Numismatist, (December 1958, page 1487) ; other brief articles on this subject have been written by him and printed variously. However, no recent attention has been given these three issues by researchers. Other a-b-c notes of these issues, in addition to those already listed by Friedberg, will undoubtedly be located. Few dealers and fewer collectors know about the White- Mellon issues or are able to spot them when they appear. Accordingly, the three issues are shown as illustrations for this article. The same Bank, Chicago. and the same denomination, $5, are selected. But all 'denominations, 85 through $100. are identical items for all Banks, save the District designations. Surely there are more of these a-b-c notes still unreported. By comparing the serial numbers, the consecutive issuance dates of the three White-Mellon issues can be determined. These three issues are readily distinguishable at a glance. The a notes are the regular variety; the b notes are second in scarcity; and the c notes are all in the rare class. Here is a description of the variations: First Issue : This has the normal obverse, as shown in Friedberg's book as design No. 133. Particular attention should be concentrated on the District Designation: in the illustration, the 2-B. This symbol of the New York District, appears in the four corners of the note; type-size in the diagonal corners is identical. Second Issue: This obverse is identified with the $20 Friedberg's design No. 135. Note the symbol in lower left corner ; type has been reduced. So, on a Second Issue note, the District Designation (digit and letter) appears as one large, upper right corner; and three small Desig- nations are located in the other three corners. Third Issue: Digit-letter symbols restored to two large (upper right and lower left) and two small (lower right and upper left). But now comes a startling difference in the Bank's seal to the left, and the Treasury seal to the right. Each of these has been "squeezed in" toward the note's portrait, each moved a good half inch closer to the central vignette. This necessitates the raising of the symbol in the lower left corner. These third issue notes are the rarest of the three variants. They can be spotted at a glance. Concerning "star" or replacement notes on the White- Mellon combination: the a-stars on all denominations ($5 to $100 inclusive) on all 12 Banks are often found. However, the replacement notes on the Second (b) and Third (c) issues. all Banks, all denominations, are un- reported up to now. This writer does not say there is no such thing as a star among the b or c notes. He reports: "I have never seen or heard of one." Un- doubtedly this assures a comparatively small issuance of b and c notes. Replacements for printery spoilage on the Second and Third issues undoubtedly were all a notes.

In diagonal formation, from corner to corner, these District symbols are identical in size: lower left to upper right, being large type ; lower right to tipper left being small type. This "a" note is the most common variant. Figure 2— This is Friedberg 871-b, showing District Designation of digits and letters, in small size type, lower left corner; three District symbols small, and only one large type (upper right). Second commonest variant. Figure 3—Friedberg 871-c, showing what I label "squeezed-up" note. The issuing Bank's seal and the U. S. Treasury seal on this note have been placed much closer to the vignette than on the "a" and "b" notes—a good one-half inch closer. Also, both District symbols, large digit and letter, have been moved: the lower left goes higher, the tipper right goes lower, to balance the whole design. This "c" note is rarest of the three variants. Whole No. 41 Paper Money PAGE 21 All 12 Banks issued the $5-a notes; 10 Banks are represented by $5-b notes: while only five Banks had $5-c notes. As to the $10 denomination: 12 Banks issued a's; six Banks had b's; and again only five Banks show c notes. FLORIDA FLORIDA LARGE FLORIDA MAT PRIAL NATIONALS & SMALL 0 to SOLETES In the $20 denomination: 12 Banks had a notes; four issued b's; and four had c's. Each of the 12 Banks had $50-a notes. and $100-a specimens. But only two Banks show a $50-b note. No bank seems to have issued a $100-b or a $100-c note— at least, none have been reported. Here are questions that are unanswered. as of today: Why does Philadelphia show no $10-b or c, but did issue the $5 a-b-c. and the $20 a-b-c? Why didn't Cleve- land have c's on its $20's and $50's, even though it shows c's on its $5's and $10's? Why did Kansas City have only two b's, and those on $5's and $20's; what happened to the Kansas City $10-b? With extended search, unknown and unlisted notes of the b and c issues may still be located. Also, some diligent collector may discover one b or c note, $100 denomi- nation, on some bank—perhaps New York, or Philadel- phia, or Cleveland, or Chicago? So, the interested col- lector should get out his spectacles and scrutinize care- fully all the White-Mellon notes he has. If any note is found, not presently listed in Friedberg, the finder is urged to report to somebody—anybody, even to this author. New York City Scrip (Continued from Page 6) The entire sundial in the Inner Temple Garden. London, is shown on p. 171 of Sun-Dials and Roses of Yesterday, and on p. 23 the author illustrates in line engraving both sides of a 6c paper scrip issued by The Corporation of the City of New-York, dated December 26. 1814, and printed by T. & W. Mercem, 94 Gold Street. It would appear. therefore, that this Earle illustration of 1902 was made from the thin paper note, as per the insert in Baron's Valentine's Manual, rather WARREN HENDERSON P. O. Box 1358, Venice, Fla. 33595 than from the thick paper note dated July 3, 1815. The most interesting feature of this note is its reverse which contains the MIND YOUR BUSINESS motto and the Fugio design taken in toto from the 1776 fractional currency and the 1787 copper cent of the Continental Congress. This artistic motif is not known to have been repro- duced on any other 19th Century scrip or bank note, but there is always the possibility, of course, of some here- tofore unknown example turning up. The Mercem copy of this unique design is actually executed better than the 1776 and 1787 originals, even although the engraver did forget to show the gnomon's shadow which would obviously result from the rays of such a fiercely shining sun. Note also that Mercem's modified design includes the top of the pedestal upon which the dial rests. This feature is missing from its 18th century Fugio prototypes.

Number one among the annual guides to collecting small-size U. S. currency is the Hewitt-Donlon Catalog, originated by William P. Donlon. Now in its 8th edition, this 168-page pocket-size compendium offers a complete listing of notes by series with quantities, serial number sequences, signature combinations and valuations in the collectible grades. All types are illustrated. A large sec- tion is devoted to errors and misprints as well as the National Bank Notes of 1929-35. Other information deals with such specialties as block letter combinations, mules, change-over notes, etc. Authors are Mr. Donlon, James Grebinger, Lee F. Hewitt and Nathan Goldstein II. The 65-page Guatemala catalog is a completely illus- trated and valued listing of that country's issues from the first known mention of notes in 1834 through all issues up to 1946, when the Banco de Guatemala, today's note-issuing entity, was created. Each note is described by size, color and printer. The background of each bank of issue and a general historical survey is also included. The Soviet Union 1917-24 catalog is an English lan- guage work, although published in Helsinki. It deals with the various banking instruments used as paper money in the difficult Revolutionary period. More than 76 illus- trations are included in the 44-page soft-cover book. While the Turner book does not deal primarily with paper money, its discussion of the monetary usages of gold bears directly on the paper substitute for gold theory. With current interest in gold especially high since the recent devaluation of the U. S. dollar, Mr. Turner's thesis is especially attractive. His hard-bound, 240-page book covers the history of the use of gold before giving the emphasis to the history of gold coin collecting. It concludes with recommended assemblages of gold sets. The English notes are often confusing to Americans be- cause of the various signatures, but the charts and 28 pages of illustrations in the Miller handbook should clear up the situation. There are also five text-packed chapters describing the notes in the 1694-1825, 1825-1914, 1914- 1928, and 1928-1970 periods. THE WINNER'S CIRCLE Maurice Burgett continues to garner awards with his attractive displays. "Emergency Scrip of the Great Depression" won a first at the Indiana state show in Indianapolis in June, 1971, while "Currency of the Con- federate Indians" took a superior award at the Blue Ridge Numismatic Association convention in Chattanooga in July. At the latter show, David Walsworth also re- ceived the Mack Owens Educational Award. Mitchell (Hershey) Hrynyshen won the best-of-show at Hershey, Pa. in May 1971, with a coin display and a first in U. S. large notes with 18 different items mounted on a turn-stand plastic sheet. Thomas J. Fitzgerald, who will furnish PAPER MONEY with an article on a 1758 North Carolina previously un- known note, has mentioned that in 1970 he won "best of show" at the Florida United Numismatists exhibition with his "Numismatic Heritage" display. Later, in 1971, it won third place at the ANA Washington show in the obsolete currency division. LOCAL PAPER MONEY CLUB FORMED Dr. Nelson. Page Aspen, a SPMCer, advises that on Sept. 29, 1971 the Currency Club of Chester Co., Pa. was formed. Probably the first local club devoted exclusively to paper money collecting, it is headed by Dr. Page, with Joseph Scott as vice-president, Harvey Lee as treasurer, and Joyce Ann Aspen as secretary. The executive com- mittee also included Arvind Neruker and Ray Manville. The other charter members are Edward Koenig, Norman Pannebaker, Coleen Ressler, Thomas E. Werner and Harold Beecher.

Whole No. 41 Paper Money PAGE 23 The Hidden Engraving on the Fractional Currency Shield By Brent H. Hughes The complete Fractional Currency shield with all 39 notes in place For those not familiar with the Fractional Currency Shield, a brief explanation is in order. Fractional Cur- rency was in effect "paper change"—paper money in denominations less than one dollar—issued by the U. S. Government during and after the Civil War to alleviate a serious coin shortage. Along with the notes intended for circulation, the Treasury Department printed uniface impressions (front and back on separate pieces of Paper) called specimen notes which were sold to the public. The shield was an engraving, on heavy paper, in the shape of a large shield with an arrangement of thirteen stars and an eagle at the top. Spaces were left on the engraving in which Treasury employees pasted 39 specimen notes, 20 obverses and 19 reverses. Overall size was about 20 by 24 inches. Some authorities say that the shields were made to assist bankers in identifying counterfeit fractional notes. Others believe they were simply decorative items in- tended for bank offices. Perhaps they were financial souvenirs of the Civil War monetary crisis, since only the three issues which circulated during the War were used on the shields. In any event, they are highly prized PAGE 24 Paper Money Whole No. 41 The shield with all notes removed today and no collector of Fractional Currency considers his collection complete without a shield on his wall. Mr. Theodore Kemm in his article "The Fractional Currency Shield" (PAPER MONEY, Summer, 1964, Vol. 3, No. 3) offered a number of ideas which deserve further research. He, along with other collectors, has seen specimen notes that have been removed from a shield that hear on the reverse the offset image of tiny lettering from the engraved background of the shield. This indicates that on the original engraving each note had a designated place with the denomination and issue spelled out, which guided the workers in pasting the notes on the shield. Recently while repairing a badly damaged shield I decided to remove all the notes from the background in order to examine and photograph this lettering. The stubborn adhesive made it impossible to save all the tiny letters, but enough were preserved to make an ac- curate listing of the titles as they were originally en- graved. Mr. Kemm is quite correct in his theory, as the titles were obviously for guide purposes. The engraver spent very little time on the lettering; it is strictly utilitarian, being simply a skeleton-type engraving with no top or bottom horizontal strokes. Quite obviously they were never meant to be seen by other than Treasury employees. It is interesting to see the terminology used. Some titles, such as the "Light Background" and "Dark Back- ground" in reference to the Washington portraits on the 3c notes, are still popular today. Others seem strange —for instance, the use of the word "old" in describing the second issue bronze-oval notes. At first I thought this might be the word "gold" with the first letter some- how missing, but further down we find "5 CT. RE. NEW RED," so "old" is correct. The use of "OB" (obverse) Whole No. 41 Paper Money PAGE 25 The shield with one-third of the notes attached and "RE" (reverse) instead of "front" and "back" should also be noted. The general format uses the word "postal" in describing the First Issue notes, the word "old" in describing the Second Issue, and more or less descriptive words plus the word "new" in describing the Third Issue. The Fourth and Fifth Issues were, of course, not used on the shields. An obvious advantage of the skeleton lettering is that the title would not show thru the note pasted over it. The tiny thin-line lettering simply vanished in the adhesive, apparently as the engraver planned. Shields were assembled by female employees using an adhesive similar to what we now call "wheat paste." They worked from the top down, absorbing minor varia- tions in note size by overlapping where necessary. The space layout of the shield appears to have been made using measurements of the notes furnished to the en- graver rather than the notes themselves, as some errors occurred. The most obvious is in the second row where the spaces allotted for the two outer notes are too small. The mounted notes overlap the spaces by over one-half inch into the decorative design of the background. Much has been written about the reason for printing the shields in three colors—the so-called pink and gray, and the green. It would appear that after the engraving plate was finished and approved, the question arose as to which color would be most suitable to enhance the mounted notes. In the regular course of business, black, red and green ink was on hand. I suggest that orders were issued to run off a few in each color for the officials to examine. This was done, and after the usual top-level deliberations, the black ink was selected for the produc- tion run. The fine lines of the engraving create the illusion of being gray, just as the red ink appears to be pink. So the pink and green shields may be classified as PAGE 26 Paper Money Whole No. 41 The shield with two-thirds of the notes attached trial pieces in a sense, possibly issued later to special friends of the Treasury Department. They are much more rare than the gray today, with some specialists estimating 500 to 750 of the gray compared to 15 to 30 of the pink and 10 to 20 of the green. Especially clean shields bring high premiums when they are offered to- day, with the pink and green ones substantially more expensive than the gray. Another item that needs mentioning again is the unfortunate use of the term "original frame" when describing the shields. There is no proof to my knowl- edge that the Treasury Department framed the shields before sale—in fact there is some evidence to the con- trary. I suggest this: suppose the Treasury Department was asked by the White House to furnish a shield for presentation to a visiting banker (especially a heavy contributor to a political campaign 1. The hare shield would look a little unfinished as a formal gift, so the Treasury officials would have it placed in an ornate frame under glass before sending it over to the Presi- dent's office. To suggest that the shields were framed in quantity by the Treasury does not hold up. The typical frame shop would logically use the same style moulding for each contract, yet today one seldom sees two frames alike. In addition, Mr. M. R. Friedberg has recently unearthed two issues of Mason's Coin and Stamp Collectors' Magazine for 1868 in which dealers use the phrase "Shields for Framing" and the statement "Shields are not framed." It is not likely that a dealer would buy the shield framed from the Government, remove the frame, and sell the shield bare. More likely he sold the item as he received it from his source. Another point worth making is the Government sale price. A Treasury Department letter dated May 28, 1868 states the shields were "sent free of express charges for four and 50/100 dollars each." Even in those times it is Close-up photographs of some of the note titles, with a Roosevelt dime included for size comparison Wt. , "1rA\11,.

More likely each buyer of a shield had it framed in his locality. I have removed the back of three shields and found old paper dated 1907 and 1908. It seems to me that a better term to use now would be "contemporary frame" for the old-style frame, and "modern frame" for one made today. Getting back to the tiny lettering behind each note, we find the titles more or less centered in each space, the letters a uniform one-sixteenth inch in height, and only one error in spelling—in the bottom row the left title has Washington spelled "WSHINGTON".

The origin of the dollar sign has been variously ac- counted for, with perhaps the most widely accepted explanation being that it is the result of evolution. in- dependently in different places, of the Mexican or Spanish "P's" for pesos, or piastres, or pieces of eight. The theory, derived from a study of old manuscripts, is that the "S" gradually came to be written over the "P," developing a close equivalent of the $ mark, which eventually evolved. It was widely used before the adop- tion of the United States dollar in 1785. Ninth Row: 5 CT. RE. NEW GREEN 10 CT. OB. POSTAL CURRY. 10 CT. RE. POSTAL CURRY. 3 CT. RE. Tenth Row: 3 CT. OB.

By the time it was "discovered," it had seen sufficient use to grade VF to XF. It is amazing that a blaring error like this can go unnoticed for such a long time after it is released, especially when it is tagged! Consequently, circulation tends to give such a note charm, if not an additional pedigree. Seal-on-reverse note Aside from its unknown history in circulation, it had a far more interesting history within the Bureau that is recorded in the note itself. This involves not only the mechanical malfunction that created the error but personal attention given to it by an intermediate inspec- tor before it was missed by the final inspector. To fully appreciate this unique piece, it is important to under- stand the printing process. The manufacturing process was as follows for a Series of 1950 A notes: 1. reverse printed in sheet form; 2. face printed in sheet form; 3. wide margins of the sheet cut away ; 4. trimmed sheet fed through the overprinting press; seals, serials and signatures affixed; 5. individual notes separated from the sheet; 6. final inspection; defective notes replaced with star notes; 7. notes packaged and ready for shipment. It is obvious that steps 1 and 2 proceeded without mishap because the back and face printings are normal. However, after the face was printed, the lower right corner of the sheet was folded over across the face. This affected the "R" note and "Q" position above it. The malfunction went unnoticed and the sheets were sent to the trimming operation. Before the serials, seals and signatures are overprinted, the wide outer margins of the sheets are trimmed away so the sheets will be of uniform size and will feed pro- perly through the overprinting press. The corner of the sheet remained folded during this operation, and the entire margin was cut off the sheet except for the por- tion attached to the corner flap. Next, the sheet was fed through the bi-color overprint- ing press. The foldover remained and the Treasury seal, entire right serial number, series data and Secretary Humphrey's signature were neatly overprinted on the flap as illustrated in the top photo. From here, the note took a very fascinating and unusual course. It was discovered by an inspector who was examining the note in sheet form. Naturally she unfolded the corner in order to tag the two damaged notes. A pro- blem immediately arose: there was a large piece of selvage sticking out from the "Q" and "R" notes. The selvage on the corner of the sheet looked something like error C-4 in Donlon. 7th edition. If the selvage was allowed to remain, it would stick out of the stack of sheets and catch on everything or jam subsequent processing machinery. The inspector did the only logical thing; she cut the excess margin off with a razor or scissors. It is obvious that this was not done with any particular care, as revealed by the hacked- looking margin of the note! Next, she affixed a red reject tag to this note and undoubtedly to the "Q" note as well. It is apparent that the tag was affixed after the margins were trimmed be- cause the lower edge of the tag extends over the lower margin of the note. Had the tag been affixed to the note before the margin was trimmed, the bottom of the tag would have been trimmed too. Having completed her job, the inspector sent the sheets on their way to the cutting operation in which the individual notes were separated from the sheet. We know that the corner was unfolded, manually trimmed and tagged prior to this operation. This follows because had the corner remained folded over during separation Harry wants to buy currency er- rors ... large and small-size notes .. also interested in buying Na- tionals.
