Five Dollar Bills of tb; Batik 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 paper. 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 th£ M. would extend con (iderably above the range of whole word. In the word United the letters are narrow erand closer together than th# reft of the bill The i and fin the word promise are not parallel, the yinclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed,the (hokes ot all the Letters are stronger and the devi e in themargin particularly ismuch coarfcr and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791 —Where- as the Bank was not in operation till Decern ber, and no five dollar bills were ifTued in ihat year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank ofjNorth 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 dcfcribed ; the engraving is bettei exe ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap pearance of the genuine hills. The fine ruled lines through the word Ttccn t\ 9 in the body of ihe bill, are lnnumhei th r teen in the genuine b<lis, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the fame word in the Five Dollar B Hs as defer ibed a bove, the 0 being lels than the m t and others folio wing. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is, well defined. The letters ent in the word Tuienty y to the left hand at the bottom, do not.Come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Ttu and go ing below them. The lignature J Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with lamb-black and 01, and ditiers h:mi a»her inks uCtrO in printing the bills and the oalhicr's' iiguature. It is fuppoied these forge;ics were committed in some of ths Southern States, as all the coun terfeits thai have appeared, have come from theocc, and two persons have been apprehend ed in Virgima ( cyi suspicion of being ihe author of them. The reward CTTF. THOUSAND trait, /tKS will be paid to any Peifon or P< «sons who {haN difeover and prdfecute to convidt oir the several offenders of the following defniptions or any of them, viz. The person or pcrfons, who manufa&ured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who -engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills, fcvciy person who has a&ed as a principal in any othci way, in the counterfeiting and utter ing the said bills. Philadelphia, Match 28, 1794 April 22, 1794, Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared ill circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOL LARS,and the alphabetical maik is the let ter B. 1 hey may be diflinguiftied from the genu ine by the following MARKS : The paper of ihe counterfeit? is of a more tender texture at«j gloil'ey fmface than the genuine, and. there is no water mark in them. Tlie letter C. in the word Caihier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, ihe whole letter is a fine hair itroke, evidently in an uiifinifhed state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and tiie whole -word ill dohe, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is~in the genuine bills. , 'marginal device, is much darker in 1e „ » t ' ,an " le genuine bills owing to t e fliade flrokes being coarser, much nearer ogether, and conlequently much morp nu merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft view. J nnr h r I 3 rcward of ONE THOUSAND LARS, will be paid for apprehending, ic profecucing to convi&ion the several above ►w' ( ? ffcnders i" 'efpeft to this, as to the laftdefcribed bills.
