Printers Mix Up on Ten Dollar Bill At Local Bank
A misprinted ten dollar bill reached the Mret National bank in the morning attracting little attention until it was found the bill’s design was upside down. The note depicted Alexander Hamilton on the face and a United States Treasury building on the reverse. Cashier George Docking verified the issue as genuine. A mix-up by Uncle Sam’s press is suspected. In Colombo, Ceylon, a malaria epidemic has claimed at least 40,000 lives since November, with doctors and hospitals trying varied treatments.
