O Beware of Counterfeits
A LARGE quantity of counterfeit
Bills, of the following emiflions of Conti
nental Bills, has lately been sent out of
New-York, arid (everal villains have been
detected for uttering them; they are very
tafily known; being struck on copper
plate, they look and feel smooth ; the
complexion of the bills differ very much
from the true bills, and are badly execut
ed. The counterfeits are of the following
emissions, viz. Forty and Five Dollar Bills,
dated iith April, 1778: Thirty Dollar
Bills, 26th February 1777: And Eight
and Six Dollar Bills, 20th May, 1777.
Forty Dollar Bills counterfeit the eye's
not so long by 16 parts of an inch as in
the true Bills, and is much plainer ; the
smaller part of the eyelid breaks off plain,
in the true bills it runs into the cloud;
the fight part of the eye in the counterfeit
is too strong and bold.
Five Dollar Bills counterfeit, the four firft
letters in the word Spanifo are larger than
the three ending letters ; in the true bills
they are much alike.
Thirty Dollar Bills counterfeit, the name of
one of the Printers on the back of the Bill
is Sellors; in the true Bill it is Sellers. Al
- another Thirty Dollar Bill counterfeit.
Eight Dollar Bills counterfeit,Fin the face
of the Bill the Tin the word This is not io
long nor large as in the true Bill, and the
letters in general are much fmailer. The
lower part of the Harp in the true Bills is
nearer to the mirror circle than the coun
terfeit.
Six Dollar Bills counterfeit, the word Fa
ke, theV is too high up, in the true it is
on a line with the other letters.
