The Government never redeems counterfeit money!
- 1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as tobecome familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the portraits.
2. COA^ARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type anddenomination. Observe these things:
PORTRAIT Counterfeit—^Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white.scratchy; oval background is dark,lines irregular and broken. Portraitmerges into the background.
Genuine—Stands out distinctly from the oval background. Eyes appear lifelike. Background is a fine screen of regular lines.
Counterfeit—Saw-tooth points around rim are usually uneven, broken off.
Genuine—Saw-tooth points around rim are even andsharp.
Genuine—^Figures firmly and evenly printed, wellspaced.
Counterfeit—Generally has no silk threads, but thesemay be imitated by very small redand blue ink lines.
Genuine—^Printed on distinctive paper in which verysmall red and blue silk threads are scattered. The silk threads are not alwaysnoticeable on bills that are badly soiledor worn.
3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuineor counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.
4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer tomake sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or counterfeit.
5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTERFEITERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BESTRANGERS.
