The Counterfeit Bill.

The average counterfeit bill shows
better work on the right hand side than
on the left. More care is taken TO
make the work accurate. because I'M
less a man Is left handed it is custom
airy in counting a pile of bills to hold
the left ends down and turn up only
the right ends. The assistant in the
city banks now reverses the process
and turns the bills with his left hand.
