<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2001845, member: 24274&quot;]I think in the context of obsolete banknotes, &quot;spurious&quot; means the bank never existed -- someone just made up the name and printed the notes to bilk the unsuspecting. &quot;Counterfeiting&quot; would be copying the note of a real bank. During the era, meticulous reference lists (counterfeit detectors) were compiled of legit banks so merchants and bankers could avoid being cheated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
