The Public are cautioned to
Wware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills oj ,
>he Sank of the United States,, and Twenty i
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, J
Qveral of which Lave appeared in circulation .
within a few dnys past ; they are " good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be di/lingui/hed by the following .
marks.
five Dollar Bills of the Bank of tlx
United. States.
ALL that have appeared have the lettef F.
for tljeir Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the fa per is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than theM. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from ihe top of the O,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con
siderably 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 Jin the word promise are not
parallel, the J 'inclining much more forward
than the i.
The engraving is badly executed,tfie fti okes
of all the Letters are stronger and the device
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appears darker than in the Hue bills. Some
ot the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in
jhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America«
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly 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, in the kfody of the bill, are in number thr*
teen in the genuine b.lls, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like tie fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being less than the w, and others
following.
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 so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and shejr go
ing below them-
The signature J. Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
oil, and differs from other inks used in
priming the bills and the cashier's iigndture.
It is fuppoied ihefe forgeries were committed
in (ome of the Southern btates, as all the coun
terfeits fctayr apj* eaj _ have_ come troifi
thence, and two persons have been apprehend
ed m Virginia, on suspicion of being the author
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will.be paid toany Person or Peifon's who fhail
discover and profecutc to convi&ion the feveial
offenders of the following or any
of them, viz.
The person err pci/ops, who raanufa&urcd
the paper on which the Bills aie printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in
any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
ot tile Bank of the United States have appeared
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS,and the alphabetical mark is the let
ter B.
They may be diflinguifhed from the genu
ine by the following MARKS :
The paper ot the counterfeits is of a more
tend-r texture and gJofley furface than the
genuine, ami there is 110 water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The
letter a in the word demand, is badly formed
and the who.'e word ill done, and there is no
comma at the end of it, as there is in the
genuine bills.
i le Marginal device, is much daiker in
u t ' la " " le genuine bills owing to
the (hade strokes being coarser, much nearer
together, and consequently much more nu
merous. This difference ftrifces the eye at firft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, &
prosecuting to convi&ion the several above
delcribed Offenders in refpeifl to this, as to
the last defcVibed bills.

HPHEgrancl principle of Equality, if right-

universal justice, sacred Order, and perf'e&
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent

infojence of office, the tyranny of p:idej ard
the outrages of opgrefiion ; confirms, it) the
most forcible manner, the neceflity of subor
dination, and the jult demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loofeuing the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil dftin&ion,
draws more closely every social tie, unite* in
one harmonious and justly proportioned lyf
tem, and brings men together On the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com
mon relation to the community.
