Summary: This page discusses the security features of bank notes, referencing the practices of the Bank of Bengal and the Bank of England regarding note issuance and re-issuance. It details various forgery methods and asserts the superiority of a newly patented note design, which is claimed to resist imitation by common forgery techniques, including lithography, daguerreotype, electrotype, and the anastatic process.
