Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F. "or their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company >.s smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the toj>of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend con hderdbly 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 /in the word prcmife are not parallel, the yinclrtiing much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed,the ftrokis of all the Letters are stronger and the device in themargio particularly ismuch coarfcr and appeal's darker than in the true bills. Some ©i the counterfeits bear date in 179* —Where- as the Bank was not in operation till Decern ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in j at year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B tor their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described j the engraving is bette> exe ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap pearauce of the genuine bills. The fine rulecj through the word Iwen ty 7 in ttie body of ihe bill, are in number thir teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in 4.he counterfeits. * The word Company is much like the fame •word in the Five Dollar Bills as delcr ibed ij bove, the 0 being less than them, and otheis following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters cnt in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do jiot come down to the line, but«re so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the> go ing below them. The fignaiure ], Nixon, has the appeal ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and ditiers trom oiher inks ulcd in printing the bills and the cafliici's lignature. It is supposed thele forgeries were commuted in some ot the Southern States, as all the coun terfeits thai have appeared, hsve come from thcnce, and two perions have been appiehend ed in Virginia, on being the auihor of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Perlon or Persons wlio lhall discover and piokcuie to convi&ion the several offenders of the following defcnptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufa£tured the paper on which ihe Bills are pnnied. The person or peilous, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, «f the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter ing the said bills. PhiladelpUia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794, Other counterfeit bills of the Bank ol the United £>t ates have appeared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOL LARS,and the alphabetical maik is the let ter B. They may be distinguished from the genu ine by the following MARKS : The paper of the counter tens is 0/ a more tender texture and gloiley furface than the genuine, ai)d there is no water mark in them. T he letter C. in the word Caihier, iy the true bills is strongly maiked, whereas in the counterfeits, tjrc whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letters in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much daiker in the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more nu merous. This difference fir ikes the eye at firft view. The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, &r Prosecuting to conviction tjie several above described Offenders in refpelt to this, as to the last described bills.
