DETECTION OF COUNTERFEIT GREENBACKS, Divide the last two figures of the number of the bill by 4, and if there is no remainder the letter on the genuine will be A; if2 remain, it will be B; if 3,C. Should there be no remainder, the letter will be D. For example, a note is registered 2,461; divide 61 by 4, and you have 1 remaining. ording to the rule, the jetter onthe note will be A. In case the rule fails, be certain that bill is counterfeit, The rule {s by no means infallible; for the bili may be counterfeit and the letter correspond to the num- ber indicated by the rule, PHOTOGRAPHED NOTES are of a dull brownish color, and the engraving indistinct or blurred; photographed notes are never black, The surest test of any note suspected of being a photograph is to touch tt with a solution of cyanide of potassium, which will cause it to fade.
