Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the Uniied States have ap
pcured in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTT
DOLLARS, and the alphabetical roaik ii
the letter B.
They may be diftinguiflied from- the ge*
nuine by the following IVIAKKS :
The paper of the coifwte'leits is a
more teadcr texture and gloHey furfaec
than the genuine, and there is no tfater
UMrkinthem.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, n
lie true bills is strongly niarked, wherea.
in ttie counterfeits, the whole letter *
fine hair ilroke y evidently in an anfinifhe
state. The letters in the word demand,
is badly formed and the whole word ill done
and there is no comma at theend of it, as
there is in the genuine bills. j i r
The marginal device, is much dai
in the salse y than in the genuine bills °> v ""
ing to the ftiade strokes being coarfe><
nearer together, and" consequently mil J'
more numerous. This difference ft' ikes t
eye at firft view. wn
The fanie reward of ONE TH - .
DOLLARS, will be paictfor

above described OfiTenders in refpett to
as to the last de/cribed bills.
