<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joey from Da Bronx, post: 7481286, member: 74701&quot;]Back in the 1950s and 1960s my father owned Nereid Bake Shop at East 238th Street in The Bronx (AKA Da Bronx). My mother handled all the finances and paperwork that went along with it. This included depositing all the cash once a week at the bank (the workers were paid in cash), and I sometimes went along with her. It was usually quite a stack of bills (no credit cards were accepted at the store), and when we were at the teller&#039;s window and he was manually counting it all, Mom would say to the person behind her, &quot;You may want to go to another window. I&#039;ll be here for quite a while&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, when Mom passed away a few years ago, it was up to me and my sisters to sort through her belongings. Mom liked to save everything. When she passed in 2015 we found tax returns from the early 1950s. We also found the attached paperwork. It&#039;s an official Secret Service Counterfeit Note Report. I&#039;ve never seen one before. I wasn&#039;t collecting currency back then, but in later years I would check the bills before she brought them to the bank. Wish I knew then what I know now!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH]1294550[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1294550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
