963 Historic ABNC Archival Letter Discussing Argentina BanknotePrinting.
Buenos Aires, 13 May 1897. 4 page letter and financial
accounting sheet from Samuel B Hale & Co., the business
representative for ABNC in Argentina, addressed to T.H.Freeland
at ABNC. Interesting letter content that discusses a range of issues
with Freeland. Hale thanks Freeland for the “Model Notes” and
“Your desire to have Bolivian Bank notes returned...We have shown
the notes to Senor Maunco and he expressed himself as being very
much satisfied with them....he has sent his report to the board....in
favor of ABNC”. Hale also discusses the information on the South
American Printer “Compania Sud Americana” (which ABNC may
have had a financial interest in) and Argentina’s contract with them
and the amount of counterfeiting required a new issue. He mentions
that Mr.Maunco suggested that the denominations include only 1,
5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 Notes. Hale also discusses bonds that are held
by ABNC of for investment and their financial interest in “Compania
Sud Americana”, the banknote printing company. The letter is
signed by Hale. Interesting, historic and unique content letter that
helps to enlighten the student of Security Printers to the inner day
to day workings and financial interests of ABNC, the largest security
printer at that time. ����������������������������������������������������������� Est.
