The Texture- of rhe Paptr is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely

The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that xvoid,

Philadelphia, March 28,1794
April 22, 1794*
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have ap
peared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY
DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is
the letter B.
They n\ay be diftinguiihed from the ge»
nuine by the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a
more tender texture and gloftey furface
than the genuine, and there is no water
mark, in them.
The letter C. in the word Ca/hi'er, in
he true bills is strongly markecj, 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 whole word ill done
and there is no comma at of it, as
there is in the genuine bills. ,
The marginal device, is mueh darker
in the falle, Khan in the genuine bills itw
ing to the shade strokes being co«rfer, m-uch
nearer together, and confequeutly much
more numerous. This difference.fi/ikes the
eye at firft view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
will be paid for apprehending,
& prosecuting to con vision the several
above described Offenders in refpeft to this,
as to the iaftdefcribtfd bills.
