Payment at designated due dates or in installments may be by check, draft, warrant or other order for payment or medium of payment and need not be conditioned upon presentation of any security or coupon. The resolution, indenture or other authorizing instrument may require that the public securities be authenticated with the manual or facsimile signature of an officer or other authorized person of the registrar or of any other officer or officers of the public body whose manual or facsimile signature is not otherwise required by law, or by any combination thereof. Any registrar may hold in custody any partially or fully executed public securities if provided by, and to the extent permitted by, the authorizing instrument.

Upon compliance with this provision by the authorizing officer, his facsimile signature has the same legal effect as his manual signature.
