CAMERA PROOF BANK NOTES.
The London Chartered Lank o£-Aus-tralia is now issuing (says the “Argus”) a new class of bank notes. The peculiarity is the adoption of scientific precautions which render it impossible for the notes to be duplicated by means of photography. It is obviously undesirable to disclose the process, but it may be mentioned that the notes are printed in light colours, and that they may be described as good-looking (most bank notes arc!). So far only £1 notes arc being issued, but in duo course notes of the higher denominations will make their appearance. The London Chartered Bank is equally in advance as regards its cheque-books, which arc now printed on a special paper, prepared with chemicals in such a manner that an attempt at erasure is exposed at once, and thus the alteration of a cheque once written is made impossible. Some recent large forgeries in England could not have occurred had the same precaution been in operation at the time there.
