Art in Spanish Bank Notes.

To battle the coun~terfeiters, who are
both numerous and cunning in Madrid,

policy of changing its notes with great
frequency and retiring each Issue as
fast as possible.
The bank has now determined on q
lev plan. 1t has placed an order for
q series of notes with an English on
Germ, and it will rely for safety upon
a special color process. In addition
the notes are to present pictures of
well-known buildings in Spain, exc
cuted with a perfection that will defy
counterfeiting.

that amateurs will be tempted to
frame them" says one Spanish news.
