Five Dollar Bills cf tfu Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for t'hffir Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more fieely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is finaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the »>, to touch the top of the M. would extend con siderably above the-range ps the \V-huie word. In the word United the lettsrs are narrow, erand closer than the reft of the bill The i and.y m the word promise are not parallel, the yinclining much more iorwarJ than tjie i. The engraving is badly executed,the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the devie in themargii- particularly is risuch coarser and appeals darker rfian itr the true bills. Some el the counterfeits bear date in I 791 —Where- as the Bank was not in operation till Decern ber, and no five dollar bills were iflued in ihat year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have'aooeared have the letter ALL that have" appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. Tftey are printed on a paper nearly fjmtlar to that of the couitfer&it Five Dollar Notes above dcfcnbed ; the en£r"sfvir\g is bette' exe ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap pearance of the genuine biJls. The fine ruled lines through the word Twen ty, in the body of the bill, are in number th r» tqen in the genuine b«lis, and but twelve in the counterfeits. Tj'fie word Company is much like the ff/ne Word in the Five 1 Dollar B lis &s defer ibed a bove, the o being less than the and others following. There is no'ftroke to the fin the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined The let Cert eat in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do nor come down to , the line, hot are fa cqt as to give an irregular J appearance to the word, the Tw and 'bey go- . ing below them. The fjgnaiure 1 Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with lamb-black and | oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills a»d the cafhiei's lignatuie. It is fuopofed thefc forgeries were committed in some of lh • Southern States, as all the coun terfeits thai have appeared, have come from thence, and two perfofts have been apprehend ed in on fuipicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to auy Peifon or Perfops who lhall difco-vei and profecuie to convict.on the feveial offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The perfori or pcrfrns, Who manufactured thepaper on which the Bills arc printed. The pier fan ar pet lons, who engraved the plates. The printer or prinrers, «f the bills. Every person who has a£led as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter ing the said b'lis. Pniladielphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794, Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the Uni ted States have appeared in circulation.. The denomination is of TWENTY DOL LARS,and the alphabetical mark is the let ter B. They may be distinguished from the genu ine by the following MARKS : The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tendjr texture and gloffey furface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true WHS is strongly riiarked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an ufifinilhed state. The letters in the wo-d 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 bilh. The nparginal device, is much da>ker in the fa He, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarfc, much nearer together, and consequently much more nu merous.TKis cfifference firlkes the eye at firft view. The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLAJRS,. will he paid for apprehending, & profeciitjng so tonviftion tie several above described Offenders in iefpe<?l to this, as to the la'ft deferibed hills.
