Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States haveap
pearcdin circulation.
The denomination is of TWEN TT
DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark iJ
the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the ge*
a nine by the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits i« of a
more tender texture and glofley fnriace
than the genuine, and there is no water
mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Calhier, in
he true bills is strongly marked, whereas
in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a
fine hair stroke, evidently in an tinfimrae
date. The letter ain the word demand,
is badly formed and the whole word ill done
and there is no comma at theend ol it, as
there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much dare
in the falf'e, than in the genuine bills ow
ing to the (hade strokes being coarl'er, mut
neater togethef, and conl'equently 1
more numerous. This difference strikes i >
eye at firft view.
