Stamping the Front of Government Checks

[David Merrill]

P.S. That makes sense since the Demand is technically of the Treasury.

They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury...


It seems to me though, that by registering the check number/serial number with the Treasury you would compel the banker handling it to make any such deposits, from your checks, to be special. Here is where your "ignorance factor" comes in. The bank manager having to treat your checks as special would probably prod him into hoping to find something "illegal" about redemption, in order to save what could be quite a bit of work, not only for himself but for the entire central banking industry.
