Old Statute Brought to Light May Aid in
War on “Slugs”
The rather humorous incident of Henry Ford giving a check
for tw o cents in New York a few days ago brought to light a
statute on the U. S. Criminal Code that had been forgotten. Much
agitation is being shown in coin machine circles to secure the
passage of a law that will aid to prohibit the use of “ slugs” for
cheating coin-operated devices. It is possible that the present law
revived may be very useful for immediate needs, for here is what
the law book says:
“ Section 293 o f the United States code, annotated (Criminal
code, section 128) issuing notes less than $1.
“ No person shall make, issue or circulate, or pay out any note,
check, memorandum, token or other obligation fo r a less sum than
$1 intended to circulate as money or to be received or used in lieu
o f lawful money o f the United States; and every person so offending
shall be fined not more than $500, imprisoned not more than six
months or both.”
