Beschreibung:: Blank post card. Manufacturer's text: Counting and packing currency for shipment. In the process of creation, our currency is counted 54 different times, so that eventually it loses all its crispness. It is therefore treated to a bath of alum to restore the freshness characteristic of new money, and the sheets, each containing four bills of the same denomination, are packed and sent to the Treasury for the affixing of the seal which makes them legal tender.

Beschreibung:: Blank post card. Manufacturer's text: Examining newly made money. One of the important steps in the creation of paper money is the examining of the newly made currency. The work is performed by women experts and the discovery of the slightest blur or other defect results in entire sheets of bank notes being discarded. The examiners turn over the sheets of money faster than the eye can follow the movements of their fingers.

Beschreibung:: Blank post card. Manufacturer's text: Numbering currency. Undoubtedly the most wonderful machine at the Bureau of Engraving is a remarkable press invented and constructed by Americans, which prints the red series numbers found at either end of every piece of our paper money. This machine, which is the only one of the kind in the world, sets its own type and automatically prints the numbers in succession from 1 to 1,000,000,000.
