The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1878-08-03


The Bank of France has lately resolved
not to pay counterfeit bills. A great deal oil
objection liz made to this measure by the
French press, which see in 1t an attack on
that confidence which, isrequisite for paper
circulation. It is objected that even should
there be considerable losses now and.th to
the bank, &c at the same time benefits by the
large number OF bills which are lost or de-
stroyed In one way or another, and which
are never paid. It Is the business Of the bank
to have its notes so made that counterfeiting
IS impossible, and only experts can tell a
genuine blu. There, is already kind OF
panic among businessmen, many of whom
refuse 10 take the bills, alleging that they
are too busy to examine their genuineness.
