(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 685.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 261 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch.
321, Sec. 147, 35 Stat. 1115; Jan. 27, 1938, ch. 10, Sec. 3, 52
Stat. 7).
The terms of this section were general enough to justify its
inclusion in this chapter rather than retaining it in the chapter
on "Counterfeiting" where the terms which it specifically defines
are set out in sections 471-476, 478, 481, 483, 492, and 504 of
this title.
Words "Federal Reserve notes, Federal Reserve bank notes" were
inserted before "coupons" because such notes have almost supplanted
national bank currency.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
