Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR MONEY!
Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS!
The Government never redeems counterfeit money!
1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as to become familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the por- traits.
2. COMPARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type and denomination. Observe these things:
PORTRAIT Counterfeit-Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white, scratchy; oval background is dark, lines irregular and broken. Portrait merges into the background. Genuine-Stands out distinctly from the oval back- ground. Eyes appear lifelike. Back- ground is a fine screen of regular lines.
COLORED SEAL
Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usu- ally uneven, broken off.
Genuine-Saw-tooth points around rim are even and sharp.
SERIAL NUMBERS
Counterfeit-Poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in appearance. Genuine-Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced.
PAPER Counterfeit-Generally has no silk threads, but these may be imitated by very small red and blue ink lines.
Genuine-Printed on distinctive paper in which very small red and blue silk threads are scat- tered. The silk threads are not always noticeable on bills that are badly soiled or worn.
3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuine or counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.
4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer to make sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or coun- terfeit.
5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTER- FEITERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRANGERS.
This Information Is reprinted from the U. S. Secret Service 32-page booklet, "KNOW YOUR MONEY", which tells how to detect counterfeit coins and bills and how to guard against losses from forged Government checks. Copies may be purchased for 100 each, or $7.50 per 100, from the Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
