Tile Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Fine Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of tlx Bank of North America>
fe-veral of which ba-ve appeared in circulation
<witbin a few di.ys pajl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diflinguijhed by the following '
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of ihe
United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of tlie Paper is thi/cker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
Tiie 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 «Se <
to touch the top of the M would extend <> *-
fiderably above the range of the whole word-
In the word the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the pipelining much more forward
than the r.
Blw&siw
The engraving is badly cxecured,the (bokes
of alJthe Letters are stronger and the devi t
in themargin particularly is much coar (fraud
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
el the counterfeits bear date in T791 —Where-
as the Bank was not in operation tijl Decern
bcr, and no five dollar bills were jiTued in
jhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
.They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of" tl.e counterfeit Five Dojlai Notes
above defer ibed ; the en raving is pcitc; exe»
ucted, and they approach rearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number rh.r
teen in the genuine b lis, and but tw< »ve in
the counterfeits.
Til e word Company is much l;k*.* the fame
word in the Five Dollar B'Ms as defer ibed a
bove, the beiug less than the m, and cthe»s
iolhr* ing.
There is no flroke to the t in the word Karfh
whereas in the genuine bilis the stroke is well
defined.
The letters cnt in the word Twenlx, to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
toe line, l>ut are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and he_y go
ing belo*v tljem.
The signature J Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black, and
oil, and differs from oiher inks ofed !n
printing the bills and tlie caihier's (ignature.
It is luppoCed the fe forgeries were contmiued
in some of the Southern States, as ail the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thence, and two persons have been appiehend
ed in Virginia,on suspicion of being the author
of* them.
The reward o[ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
wilj be paid toanv Pbrfon or Persons who shall
discover and prosecute to convi&ion the feveial
offenders of the following descriptions or any
ot iheni, viz.
The person or prrfons, who mamifa&t>*ed

Philadelphia, March 28 1794
7 22 > 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the UniiedStates have appeared
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS, and the alphabetical mark is the let
ter B.
"They msy be diftinguiftied from the genu
ine by the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
tend r texture and gloffey fur face than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Ofhier, in the
true bills is marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The
letter d in the wed demand, is badly formed
and the who.'e word if! done, and there is-no
comma at the end of it, as there is in the
genuine bills.
m&rth6w
i he marginal device, is much darker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the fiiade strokes being coarser, much nearer
together, and consequently much more nu
merous. This ditference ftrikesthe eye at firft
view,
The fame reward of ONE THOUSANb

prosecuting to conyiftion the several abooe
