COUNTERFEIGHT IN HIGHLAND (2° part)
Published 4 years, 10 months ago
Description
In January 1909, media were procured for printing the counterfeit dollars. Therefore Comito and the men on the farm began printing Canadian $ 5 proof bills. Immediately after obtaining the first Cinà and Cicala prints, with printed proofs, rolled up in a newspaper, they left for New York to have their quality checked. After three days they returned with the new arrangements. The counterfeiters were told to print more tickets in a darker shade. Counterfeiting Canadian banknotes was very complex and tiring.
