"The Universal Counterfeit and Altered Bank Note Detector, at Sight" by H. C. Foote is a practical guidebook written during the mid-19th century. This publication serves as a manual for detecting counterfeit and altered banknotes in the United States, providing a systematic approach to identifying these fraudulent notes. The book employs a methodical framework, organized into seven fundamental rules, emphasizing its utility for merchants and anyone handling money. In this book, Foote presents a comprehensive system for detecting counterfeits, including detailed descriptions and illustrations of the distinguishing features of genuine banknotes. Each of the seven rules addresses different aspects of banknote production, such as the techniques employed in engraving and printing, including the use of specific machinery that counterfeiters cannot replicate. The guide not only aims to educate users on how to discern authentic notes from fakes based on visual cues but also includes anecdotes and testimonials attesting to the effectiveness of his method. This resource is constructed to enhance the skill set of laypeople and professionals alike, ensuring they can make informed judgments at a glance when handling currency.
