FORGED NOTES
A POLICE PLAN TO HELP SHOPKEEPERS LONDON, April 10. Scotland Yard recently organised a team of experts and sent them to Croydon to teach shopkeepers how to detect counterfeit bank notes, says the London “Daily Express.” They explained the “features” to be checked before a note should be accepted.
A flood of spurious currency has been pouring into the town. Shop after shop has been victimised. The quality of the forgery is sometimes so good that the note was passed by the local branch of a bank and was only “spotted” as a fake when it reached the Bank of England. The Yard campaign is not only to check the flood of forged notes but also trace it to its source.
