by the Treasury to piece to-

The bills arrive in hum

are missing. All that may be
left is a blob of green slime

dropped in a cistern. Yet the
Treasury may refund as much
as 100 per cent of the money.

On a recent visit to the
Treasury's currency redemp-
ton division this reporter
found one woman separating
a sodden lump of bills with
a nail. Another used a pin to
pick up minute pieces of a
Slc0 bill and place them in

third soaked a wallet to bring
out the engraving on bills

studied an envelope filled
with green dust through a
magnifying glass. When she
recognized one bit as part of

the owner at least part of his
money back.
The Treasury employs only
women for this work because
