she Public are cautioned to
'ware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
be Batik of the United States, and Twenty
dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
"i<erui of which have appeared in circulation
uithin a few days pajl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine BilLs, but may
if difiinguifhed by the following
MARKS.
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.

of the Bonk United States.
