Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of tlx United States. ALL that have appeared havs the letter F. for tneir Alphabetical Mark. i The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink mare freely than tlie genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is rmal.er than the M- and other letters of that word, f,> that a iine extended from the tnp »t 'he <>, to touch the top of the M. would txtend con fiderabty above the range of the whole word. In tilt- wo,d United the letters are narrow erand cloier together than thtf reft ol the bill The/and fin the word promise are nor parallel, the/inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly cxecuted,the fttokcs of all the Lettets are Wronger and the devi e in theniargin istnuch coarfcr and appears da, kerihan in the Hue bills. Some ol the counterfeits bear date in 17^1—Where as tho Bank was not in operation till Decern ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. • Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of Aorth America. ALL that have appealed have the letter B for their alphabetical mark. Tliey are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Note-, above described; the engraving is bcttei ext uctetl, ond they approach neater to tjjf ap pearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word •' :»<«- Vv, in the body of-tbe bill, are in number th. r teen in the genuine b.lls, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the fame word in the Five Do liar Bills &s defer ibed a bove, the » being lels than them, and others foil* 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 Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are lb cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and they go ing below them. The fiviMiurtr J Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with lamb-black ami oi], and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the calhier's tfgnature. It is (uppoled thele forgeries were committed in iomeof the Southern States,-as all the coun terfeits that hav<* appeared, have come from thence, and two porfoos have been apprehend ed trrVirginraj ol auihoi of them. The 1 e ward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Peifonoi Pnlons wtiu tha.i discover and prosecute to convi&iontbe teveial offenders of the following del<*i iptions or any of them, viz. The person or pcrfons, who jnanuf<:£tured ; the paper on which the aie printed. The person or perlons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, o{ the bills. Kvefy peifon wno Has a£led as a pr.ncipal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter ing the Taid bills. I April 22, 1794, Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOI, the alphabetical mark is the let ter B. They may be diflinguifhed from the genu ine by tke following MARKS : The paper of the counteifeits is of a move tender texture and glofley furface than th? genuine, and there is no water mark inthen\. The letter C. in the word CatWier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a finc hair stroke, evidently in an nnfiniflicd state. The letters in tlie word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and the're is no 1 comma at the end of it, as there is in the ' genuine bills. r The marginal device, is much datker in > the falfe, than in the genuine bi)ls owing to " the shade strokes being coan'er, much nearer together, and consequently much more nu * merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft view. ■ ' : The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & , profecuri'tig to oonvi&lon the several above t described Offenders in to this, as to the iaft described bills- * THOMAS WILLING, Piefidcnt e of the B*nk United Statis.
