From the U S Treasury Department 


The only "Federal Reserve Boxes" I have ever heard of are in conjunction with a scam involving phony high denomination US treasury bonds, usually in the Philippines.

The U.S. Treasury has received hundreds of contacts about these bogus securities, commonly known as "Morgenthaus" as Robert Morgenthaus was Secretary of the Treasury in 1934. These "federal notes" are not currency, neither are they bearer bonds. They are in fact crude forgeries that appear to have originated out of the Philippines. The "story" being told is that the United States shipped them to Philippine freedom fighters in the WW II era to help with the war effort. Some "investors" have brought them to us in so-called "Federal Reserve" metal boxes, along with other related certificates, such as Global Immunity, FDIC , Gold Bullion, shipping manifests and "gold" coins. These crude forgeries were likely made by inserting images of $100 dollar bills (Ben Franklin), $1,000 dollar bills (Grover Cleveland) and even $1 dollar bills (George Washington) into a computer program, then altering the amounts to read $100 million and $500 million, then adding coupons both in English and Chinese script. Most were then printed on modern color printers or copiers. These modern color printers or copiers did not exist in 1934 when these bogus notes are alleged to have been issued. The Treasury Department did not issue securities (bonds) in $100 million or $500 million denominations during the time period alleged in this fraud.

If this is true, then it may be that the notes were stolen in a bank robbery or something like that. Don't know what to do in that case in less you contact authorities with the discovery-which would most likely mean that you wouldn't be able to gain much profit from doing so-but you'd be doing the right thing.

	We have a freedom of speech policy here so all we can do is warn members about the scam. We also have a no delete policy. These two policy's  are what make this the best treasure forum around.

I tend to agree with you on these policies. Too many times, valuable information and warnings are lost on internet message boards because of over-moderation and censorship. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof should apply to all internet message boards.
