How Uncle Sans Officials Detect
Fraudulent Currency.
Although gold coins are not in cir

Ing" said an official of the treasury
department to reporter, there are
nevertheless a great many Of these
coins current. and they are counter
feited, together with our silver coins,
more than the average person would
suppose.
Il will give You q few suggestions
on the manufacture of good and coun-
terfeit coins OF various denominations
which will be of interest and value to
the public. The three principal treas
ury tests of coins are, first, the
weight; second, the diameter, and
third. the thickness. The counterfeiter
who succeeds in making his dies and
the spurious metal alloy which will
meet all Of these tests is indeed
smart one. With some alloys he may
be able to work out the weight. but
the diameter of the coin would reveal
that ii was n counterfeit product, for
even n very slight increase in the
thickness of the illlcitly made article
would show at once its counterfeit
origin.
