Title Reverse side: U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Counting and Packing Currency for Shipment.
Description 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. Raphael Tuck & Sons' Post Card Series "U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing." Handwritten 12 in top left.
