BANK NOTE MISTAKES
A Bill that Showed $50 on One Side and 500 on the
Other-OnCe Sent to the Treasury

From the Chicago T-fbune.
Rarely do imperfect or uispr!nted bank
notes evade the vigilance Of Uncle Sans
inspectors in the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing. Perhaps the most extraordinary
misprIut that ever slipped through was a
$50 national bank note. This. II appears
actually found its way into circulation
The manner Of its discovery was odd. A
clerk in a Western hotel. IN making NJ
his accounts one day. found a discrepancy
he could not explain. He placed the pile
Of bills at HIS left hand, and as ne counted
each one, turned the note over and de-
posted it on a pile al his right
He found that when he counted from
left TO right his cash balanced exactly
but when he counted ii back again a
shortage Of $50 was shown. He consumed
TWO hours in vain endeavor TO md out
what was the matter. and finally was
obliged to call on the manager for as
sistance.
The manager himself had no better sue
cess. Again and again he counted the
bills. always with the same resulJ-one
time the cash balanced and the next the
shortage was developed. Finally. each
bill was examined separately. both OBJ
verse and reverse; whereup0n the mvstl-
fed men discovered the cause Of their
trouble. one Of the bills had the design Of
$50 on the diverse and that of 500 on the
reverse. 1t further appeared that the
clerk had received the bin as 500
Communication with the Treasury De
partment was had. and IL was found that
that department had record OF the bill
It was discovered I'm 1890 that one sheet
Of bank notes printed for a national bank
Of Kansas City had been reversed In the
press. one plate bore the diverse OF a
$50 bill at the top and the diverse OF a
500 bill at the bottom. The other plate
bore the reverse of the two notes. After
each had been printed it was laid aside
TO dry before being run through for the
diverse printing. In some way the press
man had turned one sheet upside down,
with the result that two misprinted bills
came forth-one with a $50 diverse and
500 reverse. the other with a 500 diverse
and a $50 reverse.
The cashier of the bank was the first TO
become aware Of the error. He found that
something was wrong after he had paid
out the note with the so face and the
Slo0 by coming across the one with the
500 face and the $50 back The note held
by the cashier was returned to the Treas
ury and destroyed, a perfect note being
issued in its stead.
Errors were discovered in the design OF
the 1880 silver certificates. These were
more the fault OF the engraver than the
printer.
On the 1850 notes is found a Treasury
