The recent report of the committe eof
treasury experts appointed to recon-
mend change in the currency will, if
acted upon, do away with the time
honored greenbacl. ave will come
down in the near future to plain black
and white" Superintendent Meredith,
of the engraving bureau said, in
speaking of the report. "There is also
too much scroll work and filagre bust
ness on our notes, and the tendency is
toward palmer effects. Investigation
has proved that notes with so much
scroll work and engraving are easier to
counterfeit than those with palmer
faces. The English notes are, to all
appearances, simple promises to pay,
printed on white paper in black ink,
with plain type letter and figures. The
English Government bank note APP
pears at glance to be easy to initiate,
and ordinarily frst-class American
job printer would say he could repro.
duce it without any preparation. But
it is one of if not the most difficult tc
counterfeit OF any paper money in ex
istence The texture. the very finish
and first touch of the paper convinces
one that it is genuine and none can be
made to initiate.
