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 10c each, or $7.50 per 100, from the Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
Published in Cooperation with United States Secret Service Treasury Dept.
Know Your Endorser
· The United States Secret Service has launched a "KNOW YOUR ENDORSER" campaign against check forgery to supplement its highly successful "KNOW YOUR MONEY" drive, which, over a period of six years, reduced the amount of coun- terfeit money in circulation by more than 97 per cent.
We can all cooperate in this long-pull educa- tional program and thus eliminate the market for forged checks by making it dangerous and unprofitable for forgers to operate. Here are a few simple rules for those who cash checks and those who get them cashed.
If You Cash Checks for Others
1. DEMAND PROPER IDENTIFICATION. Remember that lodge cards, Social Security cards, auto licenses, letters and the like can be forged and stolen. A forger's credentials are often forgeries themselves. Proper identification can best be determined by asking your- self this question: "IF THIS CHECK IS RETURNED, CAN I FIND THE PERSON WHO GAVE IT TO ME?"
2. Always demand that the person cashing the check en- dorse it in your presence. Even though the check has been endorsed, insist that he endorse it again.
3. Do not cash checks that show any alteration of their face. Altered checks are usually forged checks.
4. If you are an employer and more than one employee of yours is empowered to cash checks, be sure that they initial every accepted check so that you can identify the person who cashed it.
5. You can safeguard your merchandise, your cash, and your profits from check forgers by following these simple rules every time you cash a check. Make these practices routine. Remember you lose if you cash a forged check.
If You Get Checks Cashed
1. BE SURE some member of the family is at home when checks are due to be delivered. Get the check as soon as it arrives.
2. PRINT your name clearly on your mail box. EQUIP your mail box with a lock if you have not done so.
3. CASH your checks in the same place each month. This will make identification easier.
4. DO NOT ENDORSE your check until you are in the presence of the person you will ask to cash it.
