The Publ-ic are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bill,
of the Bank of the United States, and '•
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America, federal of which haw appeared
in circulation within a few days past; tbe-t
are good general imitation of the genuine
~>lls, but may be di/linguifhed by the fol
lowing
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 fieely
rhan the genuine pap- r.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word
so rhat<e line extended from ti c top of the
(), to touch the top of the IVL would extend
confiderabiy above the range of the whole
word.
. In the word United the letters are nar
rower andcloier together than the relt of
the bill.
The 1 and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more forward
than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the
ftiokes o£all the Letters are stronger and
the device in themargin particularly ismuch
coarser and Appears darker than in the.true
bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date ii>
1 791— -Wht-reas the Bank was not in opera-,
tion till December, and no five dollai bills
were ifilled in jhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
■dm erica.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly fimi
lartothat of the counterfeit Five Dollar
Notes above described; the engraving is J
better executed, and they approach nearer
to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word
Twenty, in the body of ihe bill, are in num
ber th.rteen in the genuine bills, and but
twelve* in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as described
above, the o being leis than the ?«, and o
thers following.
There is no stroke to the / inthe word
Ntfrtfr where as in the genuine bills the stroke
is well defined.
The letters cnt in the word Twenty, to
the left hand at the bottom, do not come
down to the linej but are £r> cut as to give
-n irregular appearance to the word, the
Tw and they going below them..
The signature 1 Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written wit 6 lafnb-bWk and
oil, and differs from other inks ulcd in
pruKipg th bills and the cafliiei's ligna
ture.
It is supposed these forgeries were commit
ted m fomcofthe Southern States, as all the
counterfeits thai have appeared, have come
from thence, and two persons have been up
pichended in Virginia, on fufptcion of being
the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL
LARS will be paid to any Person or Ptrfona
wno ill ail di (cover and pioiecute to coptic
tion the several offenders of the Following
or any of them, viz.
T he person or persons, who manufactur

Aprils 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the Uni:ed States have ap
peared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY
DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is
the letter B.
They may be diflinguifhed from the gt«
nuin'c by the following MAKKS :
'J'lie paper of (lie counteiieits is of a
more tender texture ai'd gloifey furface
than the genuine, and there is no water
mark in Hie ill.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, ii*
he true bills is strongly marked, wlieieas
in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a
fine hair Itroke, evidently in an untin Oicd
state. The letter a in the woid demand,
is badly lorntcd and the whole word ill done
and there is no comma at tiieend of it, as
there is in the genuine bills.
Tiie marginal device, is much darker
in the falfe, than genuine bills ow
ing to the shade strokes being coarse', much
nearer together, and confequei tly much
more numerous. This difference 1 l' c
