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,
several of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days pajl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, hut may
he dj/lihgui/hcd by the following
MARKS.
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.
