1 The Public are cautioned to
,C beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills e f
Jhe Bank of the United States, and Tquentj
. Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
„ several of which have appeared in circulation
d within a few days pafl; they are a good ge
■s neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diflinguifhed by the fallowing
i. MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
h ALL that have appeared bavs the letter F.
j for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
" the gunuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
fideiably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and fin the word promise are o.ot
parallel, theyinclining much more forward
than the i.
The engraving is badly executed,the ftr okei
of all the Letters are stronger and the devi e
in the margin particularly ismtich co»i(»r n»d
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
of the counterfeits bear date in l 791 —U'here-
• as the Bank was not in operation till Oeceni
ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in
that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are primed on a paper nearly similar
to that of the couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above (fcferibed ; the engraving is bettei exe
cuted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The line ruled lines through the word 7nr»-
ty) in the body of* the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine Ulls, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar B lis as defer ibed a
bove, the. 0 being less than them, and others
following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word Aforth.
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down ta
the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and go
ing below th^rn.
The Signature J. Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamp black and
oil, and differs f»oin the other inks used in,
printing the bills and the c-alhicr's denature.
It is fqppofecj these forgeries were committed
in fomc ot the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits that have appeared, have come .from
thence, and two peifoiis have been appiehend
cd npVxfghr.u,TStf fJ fpfcTol» oTf>eTfr£ iKc iiTlftorti

The reward «f ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Person or >Perfc.n< ih-all

offenders of the. iqllowing deienpb os or any
of them, viz.
