It bears a Washington portrait and poor allegorical figures, uses silk thread between two paper sheets, and closely mimics the genuine seal color and large numeral. The note was sent to the Secret Service by the German American Savings Bank of Cleveland, and investigators suspect Cleveland area production by foreign born counterfeiters.
