touched. The third part was taken out
ana platinum substituted for it. A little
milling machine and some skillful solder
ing did the rest. The counterfeit was al
most beyond detection, even to its ring.
since these days platinum has increased
tremendously in value, and a coin coun-
terfelted In this way isinow worth more
than the genuine.
Counterfeiters often find 1t more profit
able TO initiate foreign coins than native
ones. A few years ago a counterfeit
silver dollar came into the United States
from Mexico. The counterfeiters thought
tney were realizing a profit from their
business. They got their silver from a
Mexican mine, and when the United
States assay Office assayed the metal
1T was found to have a large streak OF
as metal, where it was worth only one
hundred cents in money. The counter
letters had not realized they were losing
money every time they made a coin.

0O"'''S'' ago Robert Scott Of
Anderson, Ind, was arrested on a
charge Of counterfeiting. H6 was
found to be making plates for the pro-
duction Of Argentine Republic currency.
When arrested he said he had made a
contract with an official OF that republic
to make the plates for $4,000, and he
was entirely ignorant of the fact that it
was unlawful for him to make plates for
other countries.
The United States government recog-
nizes the fact that the moving picture
show may be an incentive to crime. Not
long ago it was found that film was
going the rounds of the f1ve-cent theaters
showing the whole process of counterfeit
matter and found that the pictures
showed every process of the counterfeit
er's art SO thoroughly as to be an in
centive to the practice. They took the
matter up with the film makers and eff
fected an agreement whereby no more
pictures showing the work Of the coun-
terfeiter shall be shown In the United
States. Many states have enacted legis-
lation to the effect that it shall be a
violation Of the law to display anything
on a moving picture screen that 1t is
unlawful to do.

There is no lodging Of the law which
is more certain to result in the discom-
fort of the offender than CONTRIBUTING
In the good old days, when the art or
making money was not as highly de-
veloped as now, many counterfelter
piled his trade and made good living.
But today the man who thinks he can
initiate coins or bills and escape justice
will soon see his mistake. The secret
service of the Treasury Department is SO
we'll organized that it rarely fails to trace
even the most skillful offender.
The real detectors of counterfeits are
found in the banks and counting houses
of the United States. The average bank
teller is so familiar with all kinds OF
money that a counterfeit IS seldom in
circulation many weeks before it Is de-
tected and forwarded to the Treasury
Department.
Coins are more often counterfeited than
paper money. The reason for this is that
they more frequent
Coins Often ly escape detection.
In silver It Is the

lar. which are most frequently counter
fei,ed. The profit in such work Is prac-
tically equal to the difference between
the actual value of the silver and the
face value of the coin. In some cases
the coins are made from molds. A
dollar. for instance. is placed in A plaster
of paris cast, and the mold made from
this. Melted silver Is poured into the
mold and the new coin turned out.
The objection to counterfeit coins pro-
duced by this process Is that their lines
are not as sharply defined as If they
had been made by the die process. Other
counterfeiters produce dies and turn out
reasonably accurate coins. But there
is always a difference in the feel OF
the coin to the hand of the experienced
money changer.
| A counterfeit coin often weighs more
than a good one, but it would be profit
less Job to counterfeit gold coins on that
basis. Gold coins are supposed to be lit
unless the counterfeiter is able to hide
his work he can make no profit out of
the business. Sometimes he accomplish
ts 1t by what is known as sweating
the coins. He treats them to a process

general appearance. But more often he

This would not only promote economy,
in his opinion but would bring to the
front labor and lifesaving inventions

cause the inventors cannot dispose of
their inventions.
