Better Bank Notes
p. 91 · Read in the full issue
SOME time ago we published a complaint from French Oceania complaining about the dilapidated condition of the paper money circulating there.
M. Maurice Vienne, manager of the Banque de ITndochine, Papeete, has pointed out that it is not neces sary for anyone to handle dirty notes —all such may be exchanged at the bank for new ones.
A sample of the attractive new notes shows that they are being
printed on a much superior paper and should stand up better to the heavy handling they get in such communities. This good-quality paper was previously unavailable.
