The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bill s
of the Hank of the United States, and
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America, fe-veral of which have appeared
in circulation within a few days fafo they
are good general imitation of the genuine
Bills, but may be diflingui/Ud by the fl
owing
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 freely
than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that «vord,
so that a line extended from tlie top of the
O, to touch the top of the M- woqldc'xtend
considerably above the raoge of the whole
word.
In the word United the letters are mar
rower andclofer together than the reft of
the bill-
Theiand f\n the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more forward
than the I.
The engraving is badly executed, the
ftrokesof all the Letters are stronger and
the devue in particularly ismuch
coarser and appears darker than in the true
Bills. Some the counterfeits bear dale in
1791 —Whereas the Bank was not hi opera,
tion till December, and no five dollar bills
weie iflTued in that 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 simi
lar to that of the counterfeit Five Doll«r
Notes above described; the engraviug is
bettei executed, and they approach nearer
to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through ihe word
Twent), in the body of the bill, are in nutn
bei th 1 teen in the genuine bills, and but
twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
' word ill the Five Dollar B'lis is deitrifced

There is no stroke to the < inthe word
