Bank Notes Not Found
(N.Z Press Association)
WELLINGTON, April 16.
The chief cashier of the Reserve Bank, Mr D. L. Wilks, said today that no trace had yet been found of the case of 50,000 SI notes missing from a shipment from England.
The Reserve Bank has issued a warning to trading banks and savings bank branches not to accept the missing notes, numbered from 7Y500.001 to 7Y550.000, should they turn up, without identifying the person and asking where and from whom they were received.
“No other notes with the; prefix 7Y have been issued by | the Reserve Bank or will be issued," Mr Wilks said. “Any| note with the prefix can therefore be assumed to have; been acquired illegally. “Members of the public are advised to examine all SI notes, particularly those in a relatively new condition and not to accept any whose prefix number is 7Y.
