Please Check Your $20 Bills, FBI Asks
BY DARYL LEMBKE : Times Start Writer
SEATTLE - If you've got any $20 bills left from Christmas shopping, the FBI wishes you'd take a look at them.
There's an off chance they might provide a clue as to the whereabouts of "D.B. Cooper," the fellow who literally jumped at the opportunity to get away with $200,000.
There's an off chance they might provide a clue as to the whereabouts of "D.B. Cooper," the fellow who literally jumped at the opportunity to get away with $200,000.
That was the name 2 man gave when he pur-
chased a ticket in Portland on a Seattle-bound North- west-Orient airliner last Nov. 24.
He then' hijacked the airliner en route to Seattle by showing a stewardess wires which he said were connected to a bomb in his briefcase. He forced the airline to give him $200,- 000 In $20 bills and four parachutes when the plane landed in Seattle.
He then made the crew take off again and he ap- parently parachuted out of the 727 jet between Seattle and Reno, taking with him the loot.
Although he could have died in the jump, most \people seem to think that "Cooper" got away with the money.
Some even hope that he did. He has become some- thing of a folk hero. A. Seattle firm Is even selling "D.B. Cooper" T-shirts, showing a man floating to earth with the greenbacks.
But a robbery is still a robbery to the FBI, which has the serial numbers of the stolen money and has published them in a 34- page booklet circulated among financial institu- tions in the West.
But a robbery is still a robbery to the FBI, which has the serial numbers of the stolen money and has published them in a 34- page booklet circulated among financial institu- tions in the West.
To have come from the 20-pound package of $20 bills which the hijacker
took, the bill must carry both the correct number and the date of the design series.
¡| Twenties in the hijack package are dated 1934, 1950, 1963 A and 1969. The date of the series is found at the bottom of the bill and just to the right of the center.
The first letter with the serial number Indicates in which of the 12 federal re- serve districts the bill is issued. The great majority of the bills taken by the hi- jacker came from the 12th Federal Reserve District, headquartered in San Francisco and lettered "L" on the stolen bills, but the other 11 districts lettered A through K, are also rep- resented. Numbers on the list are in sequence but skip from smaller to much larger digits.
Random numbers from the list are as follows.
