New and Old Bank Bills.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting a cashier, bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said cashier. ''It is a
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. AS
a matter Of fact, nine cashiers out of
every ten try to get rid of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
it. There is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal of money. It Is
the easiest thing in the world to make
mistakes with new bills when in
hurry to relieve long line Of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
is no rush. I'd rather pay out a mil
lion old bills than a hundred new
