The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the,- United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
federal of which have appeared in circulation
'within a few days pafi ; 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 the
United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark*
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine p&per.
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
fide! ably 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 fln the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more forward
than the /.
The engraving is badly execu?ed,the stroke*
of all the Letters are stronger and the devi e,
in themargi/i particularly is much coarfcr and
appeals darker'ihan in the true bills. Some
ol the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as th© Bank was not in operation 'till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were lffued in
lhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B toi their alphabetical mark.
They are printed 00 a paper neaily similar
to that of the couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described ; the engraving is bettei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen
ty, ii] tlve body of tlic bill, are in number th r
teen \n the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the countei feits.
The word Company is touch like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the a being less than the /n, and others
folio vying.
There is no stroke to the / in the word North
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 couie down to
the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and the>- go
ing below them.
The signature ]. Nixon, has the appear
ance ot being written with lamb-black and
oil, and ditiers from other inks uied in
printing the bills and the calhier's iignature.
It is iuppoled thcie forgeries were commuted
in iomeot the Southern States, as all the eouo*
terleits thac have appeared, have come from
thence, and two periods have been appieheud*
ed in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author
of' thern.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Per ion or Persons who Hi ail
discover and piolecute to convi&ipn tl e teveral
offenders of ihe following defcript|ons or any
qf them, viz.
The pei (on or persons, who.
the paper on which the Bills arc primed.
j The perfou or who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, »f the bills.
Every period who has a&ed as a principal in
a>jy othci way, 111 the counterfeiting and utter
ing iiie (aid bills.
Philadelphia* 28, 1794
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank ot the United States have appeared
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LAJiS,and the alphabetical maik is the let
ter B.
They may be drflinguiihed from the genu
ine by the following MAKKS :
The paper of (he counteifeits is of a mort
tendn texture and gloifpy lurface than ikt
genuine, and there is no water.mark in them.
The letter C. ia the word Cafliier, in the
true bills, is ftrongfy marked-, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed ft ate. The
letter a in the wotd demand,, is biadly formed
and the whole ill done, and there is no
comma at the end of it. as there 'is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing, to
the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer
together, and conlequently much more nu
merous. This d.fference ftrike&the eye at fir ft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, &
prosecuting to convi&ion the above I
defcnbejl Offenders in refpeft to this, as to
the last bills.
