Shortly before the Hon. John W. Snyder's Term of office expired, we sent an order to the Treasury Department for several 1935-D $1.00 Uncut Sheets. However, our Order was not filled until after Hon. George W. Humphrey became the new Secretary and, departing from previous policy, we were sent only One Sheet - with a Refund for those not supplied. Not long after Mr. Humphrey assumed Office, he issued an Order to stop supplying Collectors with Uncut Sheets, thereby Unfortunately bringing to an end the Great Service that had been rendered to Collectors so many Years. This explains Why many of the Sheets (and no doubt Earlier Sheets) never reached Collector's hands. So now you Know - and Why these Rare Sheets are Valued so Highly.

T HE B71J is the $1 Silver Certificate 1935F serieswith serial numbers ranging from B71 640 001J to B72 000 000J. It is the only issue of notes pro- duced by the BEP that is a series within another series. To ascertain how and why it came about is the purpose of this study. The known census of B71J's is eight; it is hoped that this article will uncover others: What is "a series issued within another series"? The following table is used to pinpoint the B71J: $1 SC 1935F BOO 000 001J to B54 000 000J $1 SC 1935G NM B54 000 001J to B71 640 000J $1 SC 1935F B71 640 001J to B72 000 000J < $1 SC 1935G NM B72 000 001J to B99 999 999J Note that the 1935F B71J interrupts the planned pro- duction of the BJ's for the 1935G (NM) series. The above four notes are known as the "B71J set". A desir- able thing is to have the two 1935G (NM) issues with serial numbers as close to the B71J as possible. How the B71J was issued within another series issue was easier to determine than the reason why. In 1960, the BEP was evaluating a pilot model auto- matic machine for the replacement of defective notes. The purpose was to replace defective notes with star notes. It was a prototype machine developed by a con- sulting firm around specifications written by the per- sonnel of the BEP. The final overprinting of the 360,000 B71J's was com- pleted on August 25, 1960. They were on standard security paper, no special printing, and within the normal quality control standards of the BEP at that time. That's the "How" of the B71J and the unusual test- ing in which it was used. But, why an issue of notes with the 1935F series designation with serial numbers assigned to the 1935G series? The first thought was that the B71J was actually a trial note or an experimental. However, the use of standard paper, no special printing, and normal quality control negated that idea. In further pursuing the possibility that the B71J might still be a trial note, a study was initiated on the face and back plates used in the production of the B71J. While some very interesting situations do occur, this analysis proved that there were no special plates used in the production of the B71J. This study of plates covered several years and the examination of about 1,500 notes. Every 1935F BJ offered was either bought or researched. Other series/ blocks analyzed were the 1935F AJ; the 1935G (M) & (NM) CJ, DJ; the 1935G (NM) BJ (both) ; the 193511 DJ; and all the star notes in the series 1935E, 1935F, 1935G (M) & (NM), and the 1935H. For the technicians, the range of the face plates on the eight known B71J's is from 7580 to 8609. The back plates range form 6099 to 6660. Although this study did not answer the question of why the B71J, it was most helpful in understanding the use of plates by the BEP. And, it led to the possibility of a new discovery that will require future research to be conclusive. There is always the possibility that the 1935F series designation on the B71J was a workman's error. If so, then the whole B71J would be an "error issue", and that would really be unique in the annals of our paper currency. Errors do occur, but not an entire run of 360,000 actually reaching circulation! The possibility of an "error issue" will have to stay with the theoretical. Again, was a separate 1935F short-run production used in the testing of error note replacements, with serial numbers scheduled for the 1935G (NM) series? The BEP could discover no specific reasons after all these years, and suggested that possibly it was just a group available for production. This does leave unanswered the question of why the B71J is an interruption in the 1935G (NM) planned production. This unique issue had never happened before. In response to the inquiry whether there were any similiar instances where the issuances of a series was interrupted by the printing of an earlier series, the BEP responded, "This question has arisen before and all research previously performed in this area has been negative." By itself, this fact makes the B71J unique in the history of the printing of our paper currencey. The pet name "King of the Silver Certificates" seems ap- propriate, for like a king, it does stand alone. Quite possibly the question of why the B71J will never be answered. The following is offered as pure conjecture. The 360,000 B71J's selected for the test were given the 1935F series designation to identify them as notes to be used for the testing of the error note equipment. After the test, the notes were to be destroyed. However, those were hectic days of the "New Frontier" in Wash- ington. The emphasis was on reducing waste and pumping money into the economy to "get things going." There was a new Secretary of the Treasury and a new Treasurer of the U. S. After the test was concluded, the decision was made not to destroy the notes but to release them for circulation. 8 71739926 J •=21 --rrcre7T,NTA 1r Itolil{i^l^^ NILVE/1,Irrg-1-7..T.K., Wr, WI 1 N B 71684305J r,4 "rrtyr,,vvrt 871684305J 44'c °envies voaT 7■1[14,■• otnam , rom Trtr....v f0433.24,4 figaiVait 111A B 71722037 J )1,17.1rrrert ,Nst B 71739926 J fimvixtfiti 871813535J vrrri‘z-rmvota 8 71813535 J -*AM& B 71957777 J 8 71957777 J 8 71981316 J .1,1:■244.4:41. - cEirrirscioniCz, B71984796J treKTY2frl'i B 71984796 J • 11011 101C111LOMMAtaitlit mitna.c111111..0FOU:stomi osmcviii • ei•Ts• -4i PAGE 4 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 61 The eight known B71J's They were delivered to the Federal Reserve on July 5, 1961. From there they were issued to the New Orleans Federal Reserve District on August 7, 1961, and, from there to the member banks serviced by the New Orleans District. This explains why six of the eight known B71J's were found in the city of New Orleans. A personal visit to the New Orleans Federal Reserve drew a blank on the question of which member banks received the B71J's. It was learned that all records were kept by the FRB- Atlanta. An inquiry to the Atlanta FRB drew the re- sponse, "That information is not available." An educated guess can be made as to which bank received the B71J's. Four B71J's were found in an area roughly bounded by Franklin Ave, Poland Ave., No. Claiborne, and No. Carrollton. In the early 1960's, that general area was serviced by two of the major banks in New Orleans. One of those banks requests only cir- culated currency from the FR. (And, if it receives new currency, the tellers must interleave it with old currency.) The remaining bank is most active in the area des- cribed above. It is an economic principle that money does not travel far from the place of issuance. The B71J's found in that area were VF and EF. The other two were in VG grade and found on Melpomene St. and So. Carrollton, not far away. A personal inquiry at both banks drew a referral back to the Federal Reserve. Chuck O'Donnell correctly pointed out that there is one other instance of an issue like the B71J. The $1 FRN 1969 CO5 120 001* to CO5 753 000* were issued after the $1 FRN 1969A C* series. (With only 13,000 sheets produced, the actual production was 416,000 notes.) There are similarities in the issuance of the B71J and the Philly Star. They are certainly closely related and each stands for something unique in the production of our paper currency. There are two differences. The B71J was used for testing purposes and is an issue within another series. The Philly Star was a planned utilization of stock and the serial numbers are after the later 1969A series. Each stands alone on its distinctness. The question arises: Should the B71J (and the Philly Star) be classified as other than just another short-run production issue? There are many of these. Probably the most notable is the $1 SC 1935C KD, of which only 4,000 were produced, including sheets. That question can best be answered by those who author the reference manuals. It might be that we have enough classification already. This research proved that the B71J was not a trial note or an experimental. How- ever, the B71J does stand "unique" in the annals of the production of paper currency and deserves better than just an "asterisked footnote." No collection can be com- plete without it. Illustrated are the eight known B71J's. My thanks to Jim Thompson and Chuck O'Donnell for allowing the NO. OF NOT..

Armstrong witnessed a similar burning. OSES K. Armstrong, Congressional Delegate from4 Dakota Territory, was named a member of a corn- — 1 mittee to witness the destruction of national cur- rency notes in the spring of 1874. This is how he de- scribed the process in his newsletter addressed to constituents on May 12 that year. It was reprinted in his book The Early Empire Builders of the Great West, published in 1901: "Two hundred and twelve thousand dollars of the mutilated notes of national banks were burned, for re- demption, by the treasury department yesterday. The writer hereof was called as a witness to the official burning. Upon entering the redemption division a dozen men or more were seen seated around a long board table upon which were piled up, like sticks of stove wood, the dirty, ragged bundles of bank bills which had been sent in to be destroyed and replaced by new notes. The men were busily counting and comparing the different packages of worthless stuff, which had passed through thousands of hands as precious money, but was now, like a discarded woman, to be cast aside for a new and prettier face. When counted and labeled the packages were tumbled into boxes, locked and the remains followed by witnesses, driven like a corpse, to the place of "cremation," which is in a little brick building, down in a green pasture, at the rear of the White House. Here a fire was started in a furnace, resembling a large bake oven, and while the mourning witnesses stood by, a mad-looking clerk unlocked the boxes and commenced to throw the great bundles of greenbacks into the fire, with as much carelessness as a man would throw ears of corn to the hogs. As the fire blazed up, a large black negro with a long, iron handled pitch fork, commenced to "poke up" the fire and to mix the money with the flames. In about thirty minutes all that remained of the $212,000 was a nest of white cinders resembling fish scales, and we departed sick of money." Selected by FORREST W. DANIEL Federal Reserve Corner HE Treasury Department has finally announced the issuance of a $2 Federal Reserve Note The new note will be Series 1976 and will have a Bicenten- n•al scheme. The reverse of the note will picture the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, while the face will be the same as the old with the exception of its inscription as a Federal Reserve Note, and not a U. S. Note. It is anticipated that the first release will be made on April 13, 1976, which is Jefferson's birthday. A recent report from Ed Zegers of Maryland tells us that printing was to start in early December, with first notes to be for the Richmond district; they are to be followed by San Francisco, and on until all districts have been printed. It is hoped that all 12 districts will have simultaneous release in April. However, the biggest part of the "news" is that COPE will be used for the overprinting. This will be first use of COPE for any denomination other than $1 FR notes. A recent press release from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing states that the first of six new COPE machines ordered earlier has been delivered. It is possible that this new machine will be used for the $2 notes. Of great interest was the report of installation of the first of four new Magna currency presses in the base- ment of the main building at the Bureau. These presses are high-speed, two-plate, sheet-fed and are being tested at this time. In addition, new Giori presses are being in- stalled, and these will increase greatly the output of the currency section. We can expect great things from the Bureau, as they strive to increase output and decrease costs. We shall have further reports on these presses as they pass the initial trials and are accepted for service. NATHAN GOLDSTEIN II P. 0.

HE NOVEMBER 1974 issue of this journal dealt with Cyrus Durand, one member of the multi- talented Durand family of Jefferson Village, New Jersey. This month, your author wishes to focus on one of Cyrus Durand's younger brothers—Asher Brown Durand—America's premier engraver and one of her most famous artists of the last century. Asher Brown Durand's great-grandfather, Jean Dur- and, was of French Huguenot ancestry. In 1684, he fled to England from France with other French Protes- tants, searching for refuge after the repeal of the Edict of Nantes. He subsequently emigrated to America and in 1705 was living in Darby, Connecticut. He fathered eight children, and one of them, Samuel, moved from Connecticut to Newark, New Jersey in 1740 where he married and had six children. Samuel's second son, born in 1745, grew to manhood, established himself at Jeffer- son Village as a watchmaker, silversmith, farmer and "universal mechanic," married Rachel (Meyer) Post, a WHOLE NO. 61 Paper Money PAGE 7 young widow, and had ten children. Their eighth child was Asher Brown Durand. Asher Brown Durand came into this world on August 21, 1796, in the little town of Jefferson Village, just six miles from the large city of Newark, New Jersey. He was a delicate boy, one of the babies of the family, and much pampered by his mother and older sisters. At the age of seven he was sent to the village school, where he was instructed in reading, writing, arithmetic, a little geography and the whole of the Westminster Catechism. This early spiritual training undoubtedly accounts for the large number of religious engravings and paintings Durand accomplished in later life. During summer vacations, Asher learned to cut cyphers on spoons and designs on watchcases and pencil boxes in his father's workshop. As he busied himself with the sundry operations necessary to assist his watch- maker-silversmith father, he was unknowingly preparing himself for his future vocations of artist and engraver. While still a boy, he exhibited a love of nature and was forever hiking into the surrounding hills to sketch what he saw. He was particularly interested in sketching the foliage of trees and bushes; his later landscapes abound with beautifully executed verdure. Asher's father and two of his older brothers engraved monograms and other devices on the various articles manufactured in the Durand workshop, and Asher was soon initiated into the intricacies of engraving. Asher's sensitive nature, combined with his inherent artistic abilities, were coupled with this new engraving interest and he soon attempted some original designs. His first engravings and prints were made with instruments of his own invention on plates hammered out of copper coins. His father was proud of his youngest son's handi- work and would show the work to his customers while passing the time of day. Many of Durand's customers were men of taste and intelligence, who, upon seeing Asher's works, agreed that the boy should be placed with some distinguished engraver for training. One customer was so impressed with Asher's primitive skill that he commissioned him to copy a portrait on the lid of a favorite snuff-box. This venture proved so suc- cessful that it was decided to have Asher trained for the profession of engraver. When Asher was fifteen, his father negotiated with W. S. Leney, then the most prominent engraver in the city of New York, to accept Asher as an apprentice. Enos Smith, a mutual friend, arranged a meeting, and Asher and two older brothers journeyed to New York to see Leney. They met with the engraver, exhibited Asher's works, and received hearty praise from the master. They also received the saddening news that Leney's fee for training aspiring engravers was $1,000, and the expenses of room and board during the appren- ticeship would be extra. This price was far beyond the Durand means; consequently, the three boys returned to Jefferson Village in a dejected mood. During the next two years work went on as usual in the little shop in Jefferson Village. Asher busied him- self drawing animals and human figures, or imitating wood cuts found in school books. His engraving exercises consisted of copying the vignettes found on banknotes of the period. In 1812, Asher's father applied to Peter Maverick, the country's foremost letter engraver, to accept Asher as an apprentice. An amicable agreement was soon reached between the elder Durand and the engraver, and Asher moved to Newark to begin his studies under Maverick. The period of apprenticeship was set at five years; the charge for training was $100 per annum, payable by Asher at the expiration of his apprenticeship. The following quotation from an autobiographical sketch is an interesting word picture of Durand's first years with Maverick: "My career as engraver thus com- menced in October 1812. My first essay was a copy in lead pencil of an engraved head three or four inches long, the lines of which I carefully imitated. The effort was satisfactory to Mr. Maverick, and he immediately set me to work on a copper-plate, a piece of lettering consisting of an old title-page to The Pilgrim's Progress. Mr. Maverick considered my execution of this task equivalent to one year's practice under the direction of a master, and from that moment gave me work to do on plates for his customers; the first one was a series of illus- trations of Calmet's Dictionary of the Bible, a few of which contained portions of landscape. I remember with what delight I applied myself to etching and 'touching up' these subjects. My progress was rapid. I soon sur- passed my shopmates, and became the chief assistant of my master." During this apprenticeship, Asher's principal employ- ment consisted of making copies of English engravings for New York publishers, vignette designs for banknotes, illustrations for editions of Shakespeare, encyclopedia plates, diplomas and other miscellaneous productions. It was not long before the pupil surpassed his master, and many of the works bearing Maverick's name were partially, or completely, done by Durand. In 1817, the five-year apprenticeship was legally over and Maverick and Durand formed an equal partnership. By this time, Durand's reputation as an engraver had grown to the extent that he, and not Maverick, was the guiding light in the firm. In 1820, Durand's expertise came to the attention of Colonel John Trumbull, painter of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. It seems that Trumbull ap- proached James Heath of London to engrave his paint- ing and Heath had quoted a price of $6,000. Trumbull declined due to the extravagant charge and applied to Durand, who was willing to engrave the work for half the price. Maverick, hearing the discussion with Trum- bull, wished to be included in the commission, but Trum- bull demurred. Maverick was offended, became angry and dissolved his partnership with Durand. This freed Durand from any further obligation to Maverick and he gladly accepted Trumbull's commission. Durand worked intermittently for three years on his large plate. Upon its completion and publication he had established himself as an outstanding engraver. Encouraged by this success, Durand, never lacking self-confidence, produced an original drawing of a nude PAGE 8 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 61 "Musidora"—drawn, engraved and published by Asher B. Durand in 1825. female figure in rustic surroundings, and proceeded to make an engraving of it, which he called "Musidora." The subject was suggested by lines from a poem by Thomson titled Seasons. The print met with fair success, and does not appear to have caused any serious distur- bances of the peace, although engravings such as these were not the norm in the 1820s. Ten years later Durand had more success, in this same vein, when he engraved John Vanderlyn's nude titled Ariadne. This engraving caused quite a stir in art circles and is still considered something of a landmark in the history of steel plate engraving in America. The Durand plate and progressive plate proofs of the Ariadne are now in the prints collection of the Smithsonian Institu- tion. In the early 1800s—prior to photography—line en- graving was the sole means by which paintings of the masters could be made widely known. Through the skill of the engraver, the composition, drawing, form, graduations of light and shade, and the subtleties of effect could all be shown. In competent hands, the burin became an instrument of the fine arts, and the engraver a genuine artist. In some instances, the engraver's work equalled, and occasionally surpassed, that of the painter whose work he was coping. In the 1820s, engraving in America was the only "paying art"—that is to say, the only branch of art for which there was a public demand. The public, however, cared nothing for "high art" in engraving, either in subject or technical skill. To be a successful engraver in the last century it was necessary to engrave portraits of men or women of local reputation or do familiar scenes that appealed to the masses. Durand must have learned this early in his career, as he engraved thirty-two portraits of clergymen, twenty- three portraits of patriots, ten of actors, seven of physi- cians and several of men and women unknown to fame, claiming public recognition solely through being en- graved by Durand. Further, Durand engraved for the popular "Annuals" of the day—the Atlantic Souvenir and. The Gift, published in Philadelphia; the Token, published in Boston; and the Talisman, published in New York City. He also engraved business cards, lottery tickets, diplomas, ball tickets, and pictures of horses. Durand was once quoted as having said, "This, was the most humiliating work I ever did." Durand bank note vignette engraving of Hercules slay- ing the Hydra. Although this type of work provided meat for his table, the most striking, as well as worthy, employment for Asher's burin was in the field of banknote engraving. Durand breathed new life into the banknote engraving art by introducing a new style, beauty, grace and flair to banknote vignettes. His subjects consisted of draw- ings of antique figures (mythical gods and goddesses) which might someday become the trademarks of well- known American institutions. This approach was the exact serious note that bank presidents of the day were looking for to illustrate their currency. As one bank president said, "Durand was more familiar with antique art than any of his co-designers, his vignettes exhibit a wide range of fancy, with a certain degree of grace and elegance in the figures which, appealing to natural instincts for beauty, made them attractive to the most practical minds." The illustrations here reproduced from proof impressions of certain of Durand's engrav- ings which were done primarily as banknote vignettes clearly illustrate the antique classical approach to bank- note engraving that Durand introduced in the 1820s and 30s. They depict Neptune drawn by prancing horses; a Durand bank note vignette engraving of Archimedes lifting the world with a lever.

Durand did most of his engraving from 1817 through 1832 when he decided to give up engraving for a new career in landscape painting. In this period, he gained some fame as a teacher of engraving. George W. Hatch of Rawdon, Wright. Hatch & Edson and John W. Casilear of Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Company were early pupils of his. Durand also headed several engraving firms: A. B. Durand and C. (Cyrus) Durand (1824) ; A. B. Durand and C. Wright & Company (1826-27) ; and Durand, Perkins and Company (1828-1832). While with these private engraving firms Asher pro- duced close to ninety engravings which were used on the banknotes, diplomas, certificates, checks, postage stamps, and other security papers of the day.

Engraved dies, once hardened, were maintained in a state of readiness by the different companies to be re-used, re- engraved and re-combined into new forms for use over and over again. Today, through studying the proofs of these early engraved dies, it is possible to ascribe certain of this early work to specific engravers of this bygone era. It was probably through this research method that Les Schriber, Sr., determined that Asher Brown Durand had engraved the vignettes of the United States 1847 issue of postage stamps. As far as this author can ascertain, these were the only two Durand vignettes used on stamps. On November 8, 1825, a meeting was held in the rooms of the New York Historical Society to consider the formation of a society for the improvement in draw- ing. To point out the high esteem Durand commanded as a man and an artist, he was the unanimous choice of his brother artists to preside over this meeting. The meeting resulted in the formation of the National Academy of Design, which was to guide the course of American art for years to come. In 1836, Durand abandoned engraving for the artist's palette and devoted the rest of his life to painting. He was soon as successful and famous in this endeavor as he had been in his former specialty. His earliest works were mainly portraits and figure pieces, including epi- sodes of the Bible and several scenes from the pseudo- historical tales of Washington Irving and James Feni- more Cooper. After getting the feel of this new labor of love, he chose nature and landscape painting as his forte. He travelled up the Hudson River, into the Cat- skill Mountains, around Lake George and Lake Cham- plain, into the Adirondacks, through Vermont, and into the Berkshires and the White Mountains, all the while painting his beloved nature. Here he met Thomas Cole, and he and Cole became the co-founders of the renowned Hudson River School of landscape painting. In 1840-1841, Durand took the Grand Tour of Europe with his pupil and good friend John W. Casilear. They remained for seven weeks in England, meeting and talk- ing with England's great artists; then on to Paris for two weeks before going to Antwerp for a shorter visit. From Antwerp, they went to Italy and remained through the winter studying and talking with the great Italian painters of the day. They returned to New York in June of 1841, where Durand was elected secretary of the National Academy of Design. He served in that post until 1845. In the twenty-seven year period between 1845 and 1869, Durand produced more than seventy paintings upon which his reputation as America's foremost land- scape artist is still based. The typical Durand landscape is a view of far-reaching fields, meadows, and valleys, with fine trees in the foreground drawn with conscienti- ous care and fidelity in every detail; distant hills en- veloped in a summer haze; and a sky which suggests real air and light. Henry T. Tuckerman in his Book of the Artists describes Durand's landscapes as "grand, true, tender, faultless. the mirror of reality," and in one instance, "perfectly Titian-like." Daniel Huntington in his memorial address to the members of the National Academy of Design dwelt on Durand's rendering of the "subtle and infinitely varying effects of atmosphere, of fleeting clouds, mist, sunshine, twilight obscurity, and the thousand wondrous phenomena which form the peculiar glory of landscape." Asher Brown Durand lived in New York City for a period of fifty-four years and was closely identified with every organized movement to foster the arts. In 1845, he was elected to the presidency of the National Academy of Design, a position he held for sixteen years. In 1861, at the age of seventy-three, he tendered his resignation due to advanced age and his desire to quit public life. His last years were spent in retirement though they were far from inactive. He moved from New York in 1869 to his quiet country home in his birthplace, Jeffer- son Village, New Jersey. Asher Brown Durand played an important and honor- able part in two major facts of American art—engraving and painting. His life was full of the wholesome satisfac- "An Oak Tree"—another typical landscape by Asher B. Durand. PAGE 14 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 61 "A Butternut Tree"—typical landscape by Asher B.

He died on September 17, 1886 and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. BIBLIOGRAPHY Baker, W. S., American Engravers and Their Works, 1875.

OWEN WARNS Supplement III Additional Notes Reported This is a continuation of the listing of the National Bank Notes of the 1929-1935 issues. The origi- nal compilation of these notes with their charter numbers, cities, and denominations was by Louis Van Belkum and appeared in 1970 in the Society of Paper Money Collector's publication The National Bank Note Issues of 1929 -1935: Van Belkum indicated those notes known at the time, with an asterisk being placed after the denomination. Within four months after the appearance of the original book, researchers and dealers alike re- ported 750 additional notes. These were published as Supplement I, appearing in Paper Money #37, pages 9-11, (First Quarter 1971). This was followed by Supplement II which appeared in Paper Money #54, pages 253-256, (November 1974), in which an additional 1127 previously unreported notes were recorded. In this Supplement III are found an additional 1367 previously unreported notes, wherein 456 banks, indicated with an asterisk after the charter number, are represented for the first time. This number of banks represents 30% of the total notes in the current listing. Such a large number of newly reported banks indicates the lively interest in this fascinating study.

Emigration" 1850-1866 By DR. MICHAEL KUPA Budapest, Hungary I. Even though exiled, Lajos (Louis) Kossuth never doubted that the political situation vis-a-vis the Hapsburg monarchy would again make possible another struggle for Hungarian independence. Therefore, while in Turkey he distributed an issue of fund-raising notes known as NYUGTAVANY (acquittance) for a NEMZETI KOLC- SON (national loan) dated 1st September 1851 and bearing different handwritten indications of value. Kossuth signed them in facsimile as governor in the name of the nation. As the previous Kossuth notes, these were "future" legal tender. II. In the United States and with the permission of the U. S. government, Kossuth established a "Hungarian Fund" and issued a series of promissory notes in dollar denominations. They were printed by Danforth, Bald & Co. of New York and Philadelphia. The first issue consisted of $1, $5 and $10 notes with handwritten date 1st January 1852 and bearing a facsimile signature, as well as $50 and $100 notes per- sonally autographed by L. Kossuth. The entire text is in English. The second issue consisted of the same denominations dated 2nd February 1852. The date was printed on the $1, $5, and $10 notes, while it was handwritten on the $50 and $100. Also, the signature treatment was the same as for the first issue. A third issue with handwritten date of 1 July 1852 consisted only of $50 and $100 denominations. These were hand-signed by L. Kossuth. All notes were printed in sheets of three. Of the $1 note the series A B C, A2 B2 C2, and A3 B3 C3 are known. The $5 comes only in series A B; the $10 in series A. The $5 and $10 notes were printed 5 5 and 10 on a sheet, while the $50 and $100 were printed 50 50 100. Therefore, the $50 exists in series A B, but the $100 only as A. All were printed in black on thin white paper in a size of 200 x 103 mm. Uncut sheets are known. III. In 1852 Kossuth promulgated another group of notes printed in the Hungarian language by Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co. of Philadelphia. They were signed in facsimile by Lajos Kossuth. Dates and serial numbers were evidently written in by hand. The follow- ing notes are known in yellowish white and bluish white colors: 1 (EGY) Forint in silver—black print, 190 x 82 mm. 2 (KET) Forint in silver—black print, 188 x 82 mm. 5 (OT) Forint in silver—black print, 198 x 100 mm.

Uncut sheets are known. IV. The last notes were printed in London in 1860-61 in the Hungarian language on white watermarked paper. The watermark consisted of the Hungarian state arms, the value indication, and the word RESURGO (revolt against) . The notes were signed by Kossuth in facsimile "in the name of the nation." They are undated but have the value indication in German, Slovak, Roumanian and Serbian as well as Hungarian. These notes were made secretly in anticipation of a continuation of the freedom movement, which never materialized. At the request of the Austrian emperor, the entire quantity of notes except for five or six specimens were confiscated and burned at the Bank of England. .4, / 4;1 4/6 /WWI r 41,1 // 7// WHOLE NO. 61 Paper Money PAGE 21 The $1 denomination of the English-language Hungarian Fund notes issued 2nd February 1852. 1 Forint in silver, black print on white paper, 122 x 95 mm. 2 Forint in silver, red print on white paper, 120 x 96 mm. 5 Forint in silver, green print on white paper, 121 x 96 mm. V. A hopeful turn of events in the European political situation induced Kossuth's sons to issue, from entirely new plates, another series dated 1st July 1866 and signed in facsimile by their father. The notes were de- signated KINCSTARUTALVANY and KINCSTARJEGY (state treasury note). Specimens from the original printing are not known; from the plates were pulled reprints as follows: 2 valtO garas (groats) 85 x 60 mm. 2 valtO garas (groats) 86 x 60 mm. (drawing vari- ation) 10 valtO garas (groats) 89 x 62 mm. 1 magyar forint (Hungarian florin) 93 x 53 mm. 1 magyar forint (Hungarian florin) 94 x 63 mm. (drawing variation) The denominations indicate the value in silver as well as paper. (Editor's Note: A manuscript by Cliff Murk on the Kossuth notes indicates that the sons' issues were made in Turin, Italy. Murk also wrote that Kossuth was lionized in the United States. He fathered the fad for the Kossuth soft hat with a large black ostrich feather. According to Murk, by the amnesty of 1867, Kossuth could have returned to his homeland but chose to live his life out in Italy.) Indian Paper Money By Parmeshwari Lal Gupta (Continued from No. 59) Government of India Notes The denominations in which the currency notes were issued by the Government varied from time to time. The Act of 1861 authorised a minimum denomination of Rs. 10. After the enactment in 1862, notes were issued in amounts of Rs. 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000. But soon it was realised that without a smaller denomination, they might not reach the poor class of people and circulation could not grow wide. But it took some time before Government could decide to lower the minimum denomination to five rupees. In 1871, it passed an Act to this effect. Next year a note of a higher denomination of Rs. 10,000 was also issued. But this note was issued by the banks as reserve rather than as a mode of circulation. In 1910, twenty-rupees notes were discontinued. The first Government of India notes were issued on the 1st March 1862; but according to R. Leader, who quotes Sten as the source of his information, these notes were dated 1860. 3 What the design and format of these early notes were, is not known to me; but it may be said that it had the portrait of Queen Victoria as one of its com- ponents. This first design was changed in 1867.

The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation opened its office in Manila in 1875, although it has been represented in the Philippines since 1865, the actual year the bank was established in Hong Kong and Shanghai. In the early days, it provided the services of a first-class international exchange bank financing import and export trade. It was instrumental in raising overseas funds and providing local finance for the Ma- nila-Dagupan Railway, now the Manila Railroad Company. It also financed the first cold storage facilities, the first sugar refineries and the first mechanical rice mills. By the 1930's the bank was financing the earliest copper mines in the country. Postwar years have seen a continuation of the Bank's long-estab- lished policies by way of financing to the Central Bank of the Philippines, the sugar, copper, copra, construction, tex- tile, airline and other industries which helped the economy of the Philippines. Introductory Commentary for a World Paper Money Exhibit Write-up (Excerpts from the commentary used for the frames of paper money exhibited at the ANA convention by the Hypobank in Munich, courtesy of Albert Pick) Following the economic upturn in the 17th and 18th centuries that benefitted from the development of commercial banks first in Italy and then in the rest of Europe, ways were sought to ease WORLD NEWS AND NOTES the restrictions still in evidence on commerce and trade. The introduction of paper money into Europe in the 17th century was part of an experimental process that has continued into our own age and whose failures and successes have had a considerable influence on Europe's financial and economic de- velopment. Just as the old notes often document long-forgotten political, cultural or ec- onomic events and episodes, modern notes mirror the recent past and present. It is often difficult to combine with aesthetic ideas all the textual require- ments stipulated by the issuer and printer to prevent forgery. If one re- flects whether the combination of the many technical and practical factors with the taste of each period was a harmonious one, this removes the dry- ness from the study of bank notes and leads to the conclusion that the figures are the most important constituent of a bank note but not the only interesting one. In Review WORLD LITERATURE B a t t en berg Publications—"Das Deutsche Notgeld Katalog Kleingeld- scheine 1916-1922, IV. Teil: Serien- scheine" (German Emergency Money Catalog of Low Denomination Paper Money 1916-1922, Vol. 4: Notes Issued in Series). Originally compiled by Dr. Arnold Keller, revised by Albert Pick and Carl Siemsen. 298 pages with a 42-page portfolio of plates, 8 1/2x11", soft covers, retail about $15 in Germany. The listing of notes issued in series, de- nominations, types, varieties and dates, mostly especially for collectors. How- ever, does not list fantasies and military reunion notes; does include essays, proofs and unissued notes. Basic valuation is 13c per note, but some scarcer notes go up to $31. Although called Vol. 4, three more volumes will be in this group. Already available is Vol. 1, an unre- vised reprint of Keller's "Das Notgeld der Deutschen Inflation 1922" (Emer- gency Paper Issues of the German In- flation of 1922) from the original manu- script, with 13 pages of illustrations. Hundreds of photographs reproduce the obverse and reverse of the notes, many of them unpublished. Details about the notes include denominations, colors, types, signatures, legends, and valuations. Forgeries are described, and also all known varieties, proofs, and plates. Notes are illustrated at two- thirds actual size, but surcharges and overprints are reproduced actual size. Notgeld Collector's Guide—A four- page leaflet produced by Dwight L. Mus- ser, Box 305, Ridge Manor, FL 33525 is intended to aid non-German speaking owners of the new Keller-Pick-Siemson catalog of German notgeld (Part IV- Serienscheine). It consists of an out- line of the contents, an explanation of abbreviations and of terms used for watermark varieties, a translation of other words encountered by notgeld col- lectors, and prefixes, suffixes, parts of words and colors. The final page has a table comparing the traditional German and Roman letters. This leaflet is sent free to Musser's customers and for 50c to others. Flood of German Catalogs—German publishers are turning out a continuing stream of reference works about Ger- manic area notes and in the German language. Most are available from Hans and Beaute Rauch, P. 0. Box 60321, Terminal Annex, Los Angeles, CA 90060. From Erich Proeh comes: "Emergency Paper Money of Posen and East and West Prussia"; and "Emergency Paper Money of Pomerania and East Branden- burg." In January 1976 Proeh will publish Hans Meyer's "German Emer- gency Paper Money" which will in- corporate the above-mentioned sections and include issues from 1914 to the beginning of inflation notes in 1922. From Dieter Hoffman comes "Emer- gency Money Compass" by Monica Pick. Using catalogs prepared by Dr. Arnold Keller as her source, Miss Pick, daughter of Munich paper money collector Albert Pick, has listed over 4,500 German towns which issued emergency paper money between 1914 and 1923. Spanish Catalog—Specialists in Spain and colonies paper money can now ob- tain a highly specialized catalog priced at $35. "Catalogo del Papel Moneda" published by Florian Ruiz and Jorge Alentorn is available from Apartado 39.071, Madrid, Spain. The book is divided into eight sec- tions, the first of which covers the earli- est four banks, 1782-1856. The second section describes the first issue of the new Bank of Spain in the old monetary units, 1856-1874. The Bank of Spain notes replaced the notes of the earliest four banks. The notes of the Bank of Spain in pesetas are cataloged in the next three sections which cover the periods 1874- 1931, 1931-1939 (second republic), and the current issues 1936-1974. Be- tween 1844 and 1874, the banks of 20 cities issued their own notes, until they were replaced by the new peseta notes of the Bank of Spain. These are listed in the next section. The seventh section catalogs the notes of the Span- ish colonies 1851-1898, four banks in Cuba, five banks in Puerto Rico, and two banks in the Philippines. The eighth section includes miscellaneous issues: general and city credit societies, Carlist issues 1838-1873, imperial assignats, is- sues of the public treasury, and Catalan notes. The 367-page book ends with a sum- mary of the notes of the Bank of Spain, listing letters prefixed to the serial num- bers, and descriptions of the monuments, pictures, and people appearing on the notes. The book is printed in Spanish. WHOLE NO. 61 Paper Money PAGE 23 PAPER MONEY MARKET REPORT action at auction (All descriptions and summaries are taken from the auctioneer's publications.)

HUNTOON Intermediate check number 1821 and normal check number 1822 N exciting $1 plate variety has finally emerged— the use of intermediate size check numbers on half of the reverse plate bearing check number 1821. Intermediate size check numbers are midway in size between the micro size numbers used on the early small notes and the legible numbers now in use. The first intermediate check numbers found on small-size currency appeared about the time the micro to legible check num- ber change was implemented. The best known example of the variety is the $5 1934B FRN bearing face check 212. See Huntoon (1974). The new variety is slightly different from the early intermediates because the numbers are slightly larger, which indicates that the template used to create the modern version is different. Judging from reported face plate positions on notes with back check 1821, it is clear that the right hand side of the plate (corresponding to face quadrants 1 and 2) contains intermediate size check numbers. The left hand side of the plate (corresponding to face quadrants 3 and 4) has normal check numbers. The variety was probably created when an engraver used the wrong numbering template for half of the plate. This conclusion is tentative but seems to be supported by the lack of the adoption of intermediate size numbers on other plates for the $1 denomination, or other denominations for that matter. To date, the variety occurs only on Series of 1974 notes and has been reported to me from the New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, St. Louis, Dallas, and San Fransisco Federal Reserve districts. Blocks involved include BB, CA, DA, FB, HA, KA, and LB. No star notes have yet been shown to me from this interesting plate. Thanks are due to Tommy Wills who first showed this variety to me and Lee Beckett, Robin Ellis, Martin Kendra, and Anthony Nicolazzo who provided additional information.

USDA Frowns on Collecting Food Stamps The colorful engraved food coupons or "stamps" are attracting a following of collectors in both the philatelic and numismatic fields. According to Linn's Stamp News of Dec. 1, 1975, the Department of Agriculture has turned down for legal reasons a proposal to make obsolete issues available to collectors. The acting chief of the Financial Management Branch, Food Stamp Div., W. Simmons, answered a proposal by Garrett Helms of Los Angeles to sell stamps marked "Specimen" or "Non-negotiable" as follows: "As we informed you, we were seeking legal advice as to whether or not we may issue the old food coupons to collectors. Based on the legal advice which we recently received, our policy will not change. "Since specimen food coupons are actually live food coupons that have been perforated with the words 'speci- men' and 'nonnegotiable,' these also fall under the same requirement as referred to negotiable coupons. In other words, we cannot issue specimens of the old style food coupons. "Food coupons are legal obligations of the United States and thus will always retain a value. For this reason we cannot include final dates of negotiability on the stamps." Helms had suggested raising money for the food stamp program through sales to collectors in the way the interior Department profits from the sale of migratory bird hunt- ing stamps. The Philatelic Exporter, an English trade publication, reported in its October 1975 issue the conviction of an Australian forger of U. S. currency. Charles Iazzak Zuker, age 47, who was reported to have acquired in an astonishingly short time the largest and most valuable collection of Australian Commonwealth stamps ever formed, pleaded guilty in Melbourne to "conspiring to utter forged United States $20 bank notes." He was sentenced to a five-year prison tem. Early in 1975 his collection, valued at $300,000 Australian, was sold at auction in Sydney. I'o n ,gents -rg).- lA env.: — grotty. ive wenty. lyeen v,.

Please address comments to the Editor.) Submitted by C. JOHN FERRERI In regard to the Fayetteville, Arkansas 25c scrip note of 1862, the question centers on the "Bank of Dixie" as inscribed along the left side. Was this a state or a private bank? Is it or its descendants still in operation? It is signed by a W.? Wilson, who stated "On Demand, I Promise to Pay TWENTY-FIVE CENTS When the sum of $5, $10, or $20 is presented, in Confederate Notes or Arkansas War Bonds." In regard to the Bank of the United States in Wash- ington, D. C. note, Mr. Ferreri writes that he can find no reference to this bank or its 50c note dated 1852. He asks whether it was a subsidized or a private bank or even related to other Banks of the United States. Is it or its descendants still in operation? Facts About the —The new $2 Federal Reserve Note will feature an engraving of Thomas Jefferson on the front and a rendition of the John Trumbull painting, "The Signing of the Declaration of Independence" on the back. —The new bill will bear the signatures of William E. Simon, Secretary of the Treasury, and Francine I. Neff, Treasurer of the United States. The series date will be 1976. —225,000,000 of the new $2 bill will be available for issue by Thomas Jefferson's birthday (April 13, 1976) with an annual order of 400,000 available before July 4, 1976. New $2 Note —Issuance of the $2 note will result in Federal Govern- ment savings of $4-7 million per year over the next several years due to the gradual replacement of ap- proximately one-half of the existing $1 notes. One- dollar notes currently account for 55-60% of U.S. cur- rency produced annually. —Issuance of the $2 note will result in a total savings to the Federal Reserve System of approximately $27 million (in 1976 dallars) over the next 5 years (FY 1976-FY 1981). —Previous production volume of the $2 bill was approxi- mately 6 million pieces of currency annually. Paper MoneyWHOLE NO. 61 PAGE 27 SPMC Bicentennial Feature How Many Varieties The Two Pound New York 1771 Issue By ERIC P. NEWMAN IN response to Forrest Daniel's question published in"The Unknown Factor" in PAPER MONEY No. 6o; page 293: There are seven denominations in the issue; the amounts authorized were as follows: 5s, IOS 8,000 each 16,000 bills gi, £3, £5, £m 6,000 each 24,000 bills £2 5,000 each 5,000 bills Total-45,000 bills The printer would ordinarily try to make a minimum num- ber of impressions and waste little paper. If he used one make-up of set type for each denomination, he would need a minimum of 8,0oo impressions. He could print six bills at a time on a small sheet or make two sets of impressions on one larger sheet. He would therefore make a minimum of 48,00o bills with 8,000 impressions which would give a 6-2/3% overrun of most denominations for errors and extras. He would therefore have to substitute one denom- ination for another in the chase as the run continued. Due to substitution or to loose or broken type in the course of printing, type substitutions and resulting type shifts could easily occur,creating minor varieties as noted in the April 28, 1975 Pine Tree Auction Company catalogue (Lots 354 and 355) and Daniel's article. This would account for the minor differences in punctuation and ornament style. As to the higher numbering than the number authorized, this is accounted for by consecutive numbering of bills while on the sheet regardless of denomination, by variation in numbering beginning, or by substitution of new bills for worn bills. There would never be an excess issued without proper authorization. Attention is also called to the fact that on each of the three bills commented upon the 4oS below the Arms is in a different position as to the letters below. If each owner of a £2 1771 New York bill would send in a Xerox of his bill, the matter could be solved. *+0#-Z+0+.0- ->-*+0+=,it--->-0-->-*÷(3+*+0+8.t-+0+.*---s-0-)-*÷@+*÷0 -->-*--s-0+*(-4-(3+*÷o+4,,,-4-r3+*--s-c>+*-,co+elt-÷0±*4-E0,+*,c0.->.*÷0..,, $10,000 Cancelled Gold Certificates Showing Up The Treasury Department has released information on elaborate "order gold certificates" which reached the public's hands during a 1935 fire in Washington. Since then more than 250 of these souvenirs have been received. The certificates involved are of a type known as "order gold certificates," meaning that gold coin in the amount of the certificate had been deposited in the Treasury payable to the order of specific parties. Authorized by the Act of March 14, 1900, the $10,000 certificates were issued until 1925 and the last of them was redeemed in 1933. They were different from circulating gold certifi- cates in that endorsement was required to pass ownership. Banks used them for the most part to transfer rights to gold between other cities. They were redeemed by the Treasury in gold—and, since paid, were retained by the General Accounting Office as official records of the trans- actions. Several of the certificates are received each year from persons who find them tucked away in their possessions or among the effects of deceased individuals. The Trea- sury must confiscate the certificates because they are government property. Possession of the certificates is illegal. A more serious problem is that, although the certificates are worthless, an unsuspecting person or even a bank will sometimes accept one as if it were money. Anyone possessing any of these certificates should turn them in to the nearest office of the U.S. Secret Service. The certificates have the familiar Jackson portrait at the left and an elaborate counter bearing "10,000" at the right. They are denoted "Series of 1900." The 10,000 figure is repeated in the border alternating with the words "Gold Certificate." Coin World recently reported the existence of several modern replicas of the Continental currency $2o note dated Sept. 26, 1778. They are printed on antiqued vellum. Num- bers and signatures are generally printed, whereas on the originals they were handwritten. The General Mills Corporation, which has already en- tered the numismatic industry through its purchase of Bowers & Ruddy of Los Angeles, now is planning a foray into the paper money field through its philatelic sub- sidiary, H. E. Harris & Co. The famous firm of stamp dealers now offers a dealer service program in paper money under the direction of Ery Felix, who among other things, once managed the Marshall Field & Co. stamp and coin department. Object of the new program seems to be making wholesale services available to the smaller dealer who cannot afford to tie up capital in large stocks. Prospective participants are told that bank note dealing is a "popular high profit field." PAGE 28 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 61 KANSAS Union Military Scrip By S. K. WHITFIELD IN APRIL of 1864, after a long series of aggressionsamong the Indians, the settlers, and the miners on the Kansas and Colorado frontier, a full-scale Indian war began. The Kansas Militia under Major Gen- eral Samuel R. Curtis was sent to the frontier to cam- paign against the hostile Cheyenne and Arapahoe bands. This Indian war culminated with the infamous Sand Creek massacre when a force of Colorado Militia under Colonel John M. Chivington slaughtered a band of mostly friendly Indians on Nov. 29, 1864. The Kansas Militia had been recalled from Western Kansas in early October to meet a threatened Confederate invasion. Early in September of 1864, Confederate General Sterling Price led an army of 20,000 men out of Arkansas and headed for Saint Louis. This Southern army turned to the west before reaching St. Louis and marched across Missouri toward Kansas. On September 24th, Kansas Governor Thomas Carney was notified of the approach of Price's army and on October 9th, the Kansas Militia was called out. All units serving on the western frontier were ordered to eastern Kansas. More than 12,500 militia responded and approximately 10,000 of them were stationed south of the Kansas River. After several preliminary engagements, the Confed- erates were finally defeated on October 23, 1864 at the battle of Westport, now part of Kansas City, Missouri. The arrival of Union General Alfred Pleasonton with 10,000 United States Cavalry turned the tide and Price was forced to retreat. The Confederates were pursued south through western Missouri and eastern Kansas, while fighting rear guard actions along the way. Several battles, including the Battle of Mine Creek, the largest Civil War battle fought on Kansas soil, virtually de- stroyed Price's army. The remnants of this army were pursued to the Arkansas River where they faded into history. Between the Curtis Indian expedition and the Price raid, the citizens of Kansas had spent more than $500,000 in services, supplies, labor and damaged prop- erty. The federal government was obligated to pay any such costs accrued as a result of the war and therefore the state government, in 1865, made provisions to pay the claims of her citizens and then seek reimbursement from the United States. A state commission was estab- lished to examine and audit all claims. Apparently a great many fraudulent claims were presented and re- jected. On November 30, 1866 the committee reported the following legitimate claims: Services rendered $197,327.34 Materials, supplies and transportation furn'd 152,530.54 Damage sustained 106,806.05 Miscellaneous claims 36,290.90 Total $492,954.83 The legislature of 1867 authorized the issuance of Union Military Scrip to pay the claims and appointed Major Gen. Samuel R. Curtis, leader of the Indian expedition of 1864. Union Military Scrip would later pay his troops. another committee to re-audit the claims. This second audit committee found that a number of awards had been fraudulently certified by the first committee. There were subsequent boards and re-audits until 1870, when the total amount of claims allowed had risen to $547,218.11. Since the state had previously assumed only $500,000 of these claims, apparently by authorizing scrip, the legislature acted to assume the additional $47,000. At this point the state applied to the federal government for reimbursement. On February 2, 1871, the United States Congress passed a bill which provided for an audit of the Kansas claims. Based on this audit, the House Committee on Claims allowed $337,054. This sum was appropriated by Congress on June 8, 1872 and transmitted to the state of Kansas on August 13, 1872. Kansas State Treasurer Josiah E. Hayes used these funds to redeem the Union Military Scrip. Since there was no way to determine whether an individual's claim had been disallowed by Congress when the scrip was presented for redemption, the Treasurer, as he later stated, simply paid all scrip presented until the money ran out. The federal government had specifically omitted any appropriation for interest, and therefore Treasurer Hayes only paid the principal and issued certificates for the interest due. The way Hayes handled the disbursement of the federal funds led to articles of impeachment being drawn up against him. He resigned .kvagizeuxmax,t4,01, tit) ,Ne itzt.t tx.,912 DO t 1,” Y NI/ hYrwm.nr Acne.frk..irajevwew 1/ ' I r , ,,,,wei.T. 1,..,.;;;Zr OwA, AWN et UNION WHOLE NO. 61 Paper Money PAGE 29 Complete set of Union Military Scrip.

In 1873, another state committee audited the out- standing claims, along with claims subsequently received. This group reported a total of $378,794.48 still out- standing on Feb. 25, 1874. This made the total cost of the Curtis expedition and Price raid approximately $716,000, of which slightly more than half was paid by the state. As late as 1881 there were still claims outstanding, apparently unredeemed scrip, of $75,047.71 and certifi- cates of interest issued by Treasurer Hayes of $67,561. The reports indicate that scrip was probably used to pay the claims as they were approved; however, since only $236.50 in claims was allowed in 1873, it is not likely that much scrip was issued after this date. No information after 1883 has yet been uncovered on this scrip and therefore it is not known what the final amount of claims totalled. The state certainly redeemed nearly all of the scrip issued but stopped redemption at some point. The redeemed scrip was cancelled with one or more small holes and pinned into booklets. All of the redeemed scrip was turned over to the Kansas State Historical Society in recent years. The state will no longer redeem any of this scrip for obvious reasons. The interest certificates issued by Treasurer Hayes in 1872 may not have been redeemed, as large quantities of them still exist.

(Courtesy of James Lindsay) Kansas Union Military Scrip was issued in denomina- tions of $1.00, 5.00, 10.00, 20.00, 50.00 and 100.00 This denomination scrip was produced by the Continental Bank Note Company. A locally produced issue, with- out denomination, allowed for the payment of odd amounts. It appears that this scrip was largely purchased from the recipients at a discount by speculators and bankers. Since no one knew for certain whether it would ever be redeemed, the holders were probably glad to get some- thing they could spend for the scrip. It is doubtful whether much of this issue ever circulated as money. Ken Hallenbeck New Lewis M. Reagan Memorial Foundation Head Kenneth L.

Send Dues Envelopes to Ferreri, not Warns Through an error that arose in the transition of Society business to the newly-elected officers, the name and address of former Treasurer M. Owen Warns was printed on the address side of the annual dues reply envelopes. Those who have not yet paid their dues are requested to cross out the Warns name and ad- dress and substitute the following: C. John Ferreri P.O. Box 33 Storrs, CT 06268 Sending the dues envelopes to Mr. Warns only creates extra postage expense and delay for the Society. Remember—SEND YOUR DUES to C. JOHN FERRERI, not M. 0. Warns. When these words appear in print and barring a last- minute court suit or Congressional action, we will be operating the affairs of SPMC and PAPER MONEY under the increased postal rate schedules. Thus, along with ever-increasing production costs of the magazine, we will be faced with increases in the postage budget. Although the difference between 10c and 13c postage may not bulk large in the budget of the average person who sends a couple of letters a week, it does mean a distressing bulge in the budget of those of us who attempt to operate a publication entirely by mail. Percentage- wise, it is a 30% increase for first class mail alone. Even worse, there will be drastic 100% increases in the costs of registered mail and special delivery services, these in addition to the always escalating costs of second class mail. Because syngraphic collectibles have considerable monetary value, they must pass from author to editor to photographer or engraver under the protection of the registered mail pouches. Because completed maga- zine layouts and paste-ups represent much work and sometimes irreplaceable artwork, they must also be entrusted to the registry system to minimize the pos- sibility of schedule-shattering losses. Because authors and advertisers are scattered all over the country and globe, while the editorial office is in the Midwest and the printing facilities along the Eastern seaboard, special Thus, the new postal costs are just one more reason to tighten up on operating expenses and improve effici- delivery services are often needed to meet deadlines. ency—which brings me to the main thrust of this editorial— Editors Are Not Pen Pals! I realize that in making this statement I run the risk of discouraging or alienating members who truly need assistance or who have some tangible assistance to render SPMC or PM. I always welcome their correspond- ence. But as in many organizations operated on a mail basis, all too many members and even a few authors use the Editor, as the most accessible member of the Society hierarchy, as a sounding board for personal ideas or complaints. In some cases I receive two or three letters a week from the same person asking, prob- ing, commenting, complaining. Now, it is well known that the cost of answering one such letter is at least a dollar and usually more, count- ing postage, stationery, time to research or compose an answer, and time to type it. Therefore, I am adopting a policy of letting most correspondence (except that requiring an immediate reply) accumulate over a ten- day or two-week period. Then I gather together all the missives from each party and make a single blanket reply. As I staple the carbon copy of that reply to the original incoming correspondence, I find cases of four or five letters which can be serviced with that single reply. Or, I find that the mere passage of time has helped answer the inquiries or obviated the need for a reply. You can compute the savings thus realized for yourself. Therefore, if you do not hear from me as promptly as you would like, you now know the reason for the delay. My priorities are thus: meet all deadlines for writing and processing copy for the printer and en- graver; meet all deadlines for making up the layout for each issue; process all advertising orders, accounting and billing for same; work with authors on the develop- ment of articles; gather news and material from other sources; develop contacts with potential new authors; answer all remaining correspondence in the miscellaneous category. You can see that fulfilling the demands of the first six priorities leaves little time for the seventh. I regret that such are the realities of our situation. They should not be surprising, though, since every citizen feels the pinch of our economy in one respect or another. Merely maintaining our present level of services is a difficult task. Greater operating efficiences in the editorial office —a one-gal (person?) office—are essential. Remember, I always stand ready to help the inexperi- enced author put his research or reports into article form; I am always ready to give instructions on the composition of an article; I am always ready to receive news reports. But please—cut the chit-chat. Write about matters of importance, not your latest pet peeve. If Society policy or actions do not please you, address your mail to one of the officers, not to me. I shall appreciate your cooperation as we enter this new year. BARBARA R. MUELLER WHOLE NO. 61 Paper Money PACE 33 Maurice Gould, Former SPMC Governor, Dies Maurice M. Gould, one of the best known personali- ties in numismatics, died at Los Angeles on Nov. 29, 1975. He was an early member of SPMC and served on the Board of Governors for several terms. At the time of his death he was on the ANA Board of Gover- nors. He held memberships or fellowships in nearly every U. S. and Canadian numismatic society. Beginning as a dealer in New England, Mr. Gould later moved to California where he was active in promotional and journalistic fields. He was a recipient of the Numis- matic Literary Guild's "Best Syndicated Columnist" award. Flanagan Reprints Harper's Articles on "Making Money" SPMC member George Flanagan has rendered his fellow hobbyists a useful service by publishing in attrac- tive booklet form two famous numismatic articles which originally appeared in Harper's New Monthly Magazine of 1861-62. They are "Making Money—The Mint at Philadelphia" and "Making Money—The American Bank Note Company." These easily understood articles offer inside views of coining and bank note operations during the early years of the Civil War. Detailed woodcuts of machinery and workmen and women and facsimiles of a Demand Note and a 7-30 Interest Bearing Note and coupons illustrate the text. The price of the booklet is $2.95 from George A.

ANA Seeks Help in Writing Instructions on Collecting World Paper Money The ANA governor in charge of developing its inter- mediate course in numismatics, Kenneth Hallenbeck, Jr. (SPMC 4548), needs a special chapter for the manual on collecting foreign (world) paper money. SPMC Past President George Wait has already written the chapter on U. S. paper money. Ken states that the course can be completed without the chapter but he feels that it presents SPMC with an excellent opportunity to tell its story. The author need not be a "big name" or regular writer but should be well versed in this phase of syn- graphics. Please write to Ken at 1141 W. Lexington Ave., Fort Wayne, IN 46807 as soon as possible. New England Club Proposed If you live in the New England area, collect any form of paper money, and would like to join a club that would meet several times a year, please contact SPMC mem- ber Leonard Finn, 40 Greaton Road, West Roxbury, MA 02132, giving your name, address, telephone number, and collecting specialty.

Rothstein of Baltimore, Chief Research- er and Cataloguer for the Maryland section of the revised Wismer listing of obsolete currency, a project of SPMC, reports that several notes from his reference col- lection of Maryland currency were included in a special Bicentennial exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Titled " 'Anywhere So Long As There Be Freedom'— Charles Carroll of Carrollton, His Family & His Mary- land," the exhibit included portraits, personal possessions, medals, and other memorabilia of Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The currency exhibited included $1 and $3 notes of the Susquehanna Bank of Port Deposit, Md., dated 1837. Carroll was a director and shareholder of this bank, and these are the only issues known on which his portrait appears. Also shown were a $5 note of the Bank of the United States, Branch at Baltimore, dated 1827. Carroll was a charter director of this banking institution.
