Several Hundred Persons
Paid To Throw Away Money
By HARRY FERGUSON
Washington - IUP1I - There is
a man here who gets paid for
dumping money into a hot
stove and several hundred
who are paid to throw a lot
of it away every day. It's
eay conic, easy go at the
Federal Bureau of Engraving
which manufactures our pa
per money.
The stuff rolls off the press
es in a steady, beautiful
stream and if you promise
not to touch you can watch
a sheet of paper turn into
cash. It's likely to be a frus
trating experience because
you also watch money being
destroyed. About $30 million
a day worth of worn out
currency is burned In inciner
aliirs by a man who tosses in
the bundles with the casual
air nf somebody emptying the
day's trash.
Tests have proved thai
American currency Is the
best In the world from the
standpoint of the quality of
the bills. It Is tougher, better
engraved, hairier to counter
feit and printed with an Ink
whose formula Is so secret
that only a dnen men know
how to manufacture It- Hun
dreds of persons work full
time scanning every bill be
fore it goes inlo circulation
and discard those with flaws
so tiny the general public
would never notice tlieni.
Americans take the quality
of their money so much for
granled thai they seldom ex
amine It close.
"What color is dollar
hill?" a bureau official asked
this reporter "green," was the
last answer.
Too Fast
It was loo fast, because the
front of a dollar bill Is black.
The reverse side Is green. The
Bureau of Engraving docs not
encourage stumbling but they
have found that the odds are
nine to one that a person will
come up with the wrong ans
wer.
The temptation to get
do-it-yourself kit and manu
facture your own money is, of
course, irresistible to the un
derworld. About 30,000 coun.
terfeiting cases are reported
every year to the U. S. Secret
Service. There probably
never will be a counterfeit
bill marie that cannot be de
tected by an expert, but some
reproductions are so crude it
is Impossible to understand
why they were accepted. The
favorite case is that of a 10-year-old
boy who made a $5
bill with colored pencils. Ho
passed it, loo, but eventually
It was traced to him and he
was warned to desist. Where
upon he promptly made
another $5 bill and passed
that, too.
Favorites
Denominations of $5,
$10
and $110 arc the favorites of
counterfeiters, the reason be
ing that you don't get much
change in legitimate money
from a $1 bill. Occasionally
a $100 bill shows up, but
this Is made by a special type
of counterfeiter. He salts six
or seven pieces of counterfeit
inlo a roll of authentic $100
hills and then buys an auto
mobile for cash. His gamble
is that he can sell the new
car for enough to turn a
profit.
The Bureau of F.ngra ing's
battle against counterfeiters
starts at the null where the
paper is purchased. This is
the Crane Paper Co., Da Hon,
Mass., where agents of the
Bureau are on duly constant
ly. The paper, made of a
blend of linen and cotton, has
red and blue threads stirred
Into it. You can see them if
you hold a fairly new bill up
to the light.
This paper is difficult to
duplicate and it is illegal for
anybody else to manufacture
It. One specification is that
the paper must be able lo
withstand being double fold
ed 2.200 times wit hunt cl ack
ing or bursting. Paper money
gets rough treatment and the
life of a $1 bill averages IH
months, alter which it goe
into the incinerator. Larger
bills don't circulate so fast
and have a longer life.
The raw paper, each sheet
of which produces 32 bills, is
guarded as carefully as
though it weie finished mon
ey. Any counterfeiter who gut
hold of a stack of paper
would have a long head start
on the Secret Service.
Can Spot
There are several ways a
layman can spot a counterfeit
bill:
-The picture of George
Washington on the genuine
$1 bill is a masterpiece of en
graving. The face looks alne.
The eyes look straight at you.
Counterfeiters cannot repro
duce this with the equipment
they use. Washington's face
looks dead and the back
ground around his head is
much darker than it is on an
authentic bill. Look for the
red and blue threads.
- Huh your finger across
the words "United States of
America" which appear on
hills. Because of a process
known as "deep engraving"
the words feel as (hough they
were raised from the surface
of the bill. Counterfeit bills
feel smooth.
- The Treasury Seal just
to the right of the picture is
a give-away. The small spikes
are of irregular lengths and
sometimes you cannot see
them at all.
The Bureau of Kngraving
has the love for a $2 bill Hint
parents have for a handicap
lied child. They keep making
them, hul nobody seems to
wan! them because there is
a legend that they are un
lucky. How and where Hie
legend originaled never has
been cst.'bhshrri. but when
outworn S" lulls are returned
to be destroyed many of
them have a tiny piece torn
off the upper right hand
corner. I he ulea seems to be
general that if you get stuck
with a S2 bill, you can re
move the unlucky curse by
tearing off a piece of It.
Don't Giv Up
If there is a fire in your
house and the bank roll is
partly burned, don't give up
hope. It may si ill be worlh
its face value. If three-fifths
of a hill is intact, you can
change it for a fresh hank
note. If two-fifths of a bill is
still there, the Treasurer of
the Vniteri Slates will give
you one-half of the face value.
Nothing bigger than a $100
bill has been made since 19-lti
because there is no public de
mand for larger denomina
tions But lots of the big ones
are still out and they are en
tirely legal $500, $1,000,
$5,000 and $10,000, There
even is a $100,000 certificate
lieai ing the picture of Wood
iiiw Wilson, but the big stuff
is held almost entirely by
banks w ho use it in trans
actions with other banks.
That is why banks often are
asked to' settle bets about
whose picture is on the $1,000
bill Answer Grovor Cleve
land Actually a bill is nol mon
ey. It is merely a promise to
pay money and that is why
at the bottom of the bill it
says "one dollar in silver pay
able to the bearer on de
mand." The silver Is there
any time you want it. It costs
the Bureau about $9 to make
1.000 bank notes, regardless
whether they are $1 or $100
bills. They all wind up in the
trash anyway.
