MUTILATED MONEY.
How the Government Restores lit
jnred Bills and Coin.
State Is Freaeatlr Attempted,
etimea with Sc
Ciuiea.
There are several experts employed
by the government to inspect the cur
rency offered for redemption. In fact,
every person employed in the bureau is
in some degree an expert, because one
of them has to pass on the genuineness
of the money presented for redemp
tion, and this is a difficult task. Re
member, that this money comes to the
treasury, as a rule, only when it is so
badly worn that it -will not pass cur
rent., ;Thi dirty," torn, greasy, rag-g-ed
money the experts'have to handle and
decide whether it was issued by the
government and should be redeemed at
its face value or whether it is the work
3f counterfeiters and should .: be re
jected.' It is not at all to the discredit.
f the experts of the bureau that some
xgus money has got past them and '
aeen detected in one of the oflice&'to
rtich the pieces of the money go for
urtner examination. This does not
ccur often.
The peculiar province of one woman
s not to detect bad' money though she
an expert at tnat but to put to-
rether torn pieces of money sent for
dentincatiou and redemption. These
pieces of money come from all parts
t the country- and arrive under most-
extraordinary conditions. This is not
surprising, in view of the fact that
they eome from experiences with fire
and water and gastric juices and many
oiner powerelul agents. A not infre
quent accident to money is to be left in.
a stove, whence it is taken in a badlr
charred condition,, with, only ahes 1,0
represent, the greater part- of it. Often
it is used by rats to make their nests;
or, buried in the dampness of a cellar,
it rots away! or, swallowed by a eow, it-
rescued from her stomach a slimy
mass of paper. . !;V:-r::: :
Here are the rules of the treasury for
the redemption of mutilated money:
For a piece of currency greater than
two-fifths of the original note, one-
half the face value of the note is given.
h ot a piece as great as three-fifths, the
whole value of the note is given. For
a piece two-fifths in size of the original
nothing is given. But this last provi
sion is limited by the law, which gives
discretion to the treasury department
to give full value for a note if the own
er can. prove to the satisfaction of the
authorities that the note, or the miss
ing part of it was destroyed. This last
provision, opens the door to possible
fraud, and many are the efforts made
by dishonest persons to take advantage
Of it. . ' 1 X : .-
' The fragments of money which come
to the treasury are turned over to one
of the experts and sorted out under
the microscope for identification.
They are picked apart and each tiny
piece is assigned to its place like a part
ot a. puzzle. I his is usually done on
glass, and the fragments are eventual
ly put. between pieces of glass to hold
themtogetherwhile they are measured
to .see whether there are two-fifths or
three fifths of the note identifiable, or
whether it is so little that, the owner
can recover nothing. Sometimes it is a
very serious matter to the owner; but
the poor are not the only applicants for
assurance to recover damaged money,
t lae time W. K. Vanderbilt's- beauti
ful. I ome at Newport was burned, Mrs.
Var - erbilt now Mrs. Belmont sent
in oi nut. $1,000 in mutilated currency,
oul svf which it was able to identify- for
reot uiption all
Dut a traction of the ;
sur.-..
if-
;.me of the experiences of the re-
deH!':ion division with wouid-be
thieves are interesting. One man in
Kan: ;is sent to thetreasury the halves
of some small bills with the edges nice
ly charred, accompanied by an affidavit
from the sender that he had put. the
money in his pocket, hung his coat on a
fence1 and that the coat, had been.
burned to the destruction of part of
the notes. It happened that the treas
ury had redeemed the other halves of
these notes just 2 years befoce for a
money broker in"Xew York, and, think
ing the case suspicious, had kept an eye
out for the possibility of attempted
fraud. The Kansas man was a person
of good.business standing, and his
bankers threatened the treasury offi
cials' with dismissal if they questioned
his affidavitigThey put the case in the
hands of the department of justice and
eventually the -man pleaded guilty and
was fined $l,00O.-' -
A bank in Alabama received from a
depositor a fragment of a ten-dollar
bill, and the treasury people paid five
dollars for it. Later came a claim ac
companied by the other part of the bill,
a little charred, with an affidavit saying
the sender had burned the remainder
of the note by mistake.'
A Chicago man sent in fragments of
two $30 bills- and one ten-dollar bill,
with an affidavit telling how the other
halves had! been destroyed; and'in the
same mail the other halves of -these
notes came in from a Chicago bank. : A
special agent- caught the maker of the
affidavit, who proved to be the tool of
some swindlers, and he was. sent to
prison for a year and a- half. Wash-'
