DOLLARS.—A great nurfiber of counterfeit dol.
!are having found their way into circulati in, it miy
be necessary ,to caution the Public against taking
them, and to point out the difference between the
enunterfeit and the good dollar. The Spanish dol.
tars entreated to Mr. BoultOn to re-coin, imotrnted
to zisoo,oool. ; these were of ditr:retit
their original state, some of them a quarter Of an
inch in diameter larger than the others. Li re.coln.
ing these Mr. Lofton judged it expedient to have
them struck in a steel costar, in 'consequence of
which all pieces in that coin are perfetny tound
when re.coined, and precisely of the dopeter,
From the great difference in their sizes, it was
thought necessary to assort them into three clas-es,•
namely, No. 1, 2. and 3, tot the purpose cif
the true from the bail. jWir, Bouhon
then diteded a gage plate to ()emetic, the &loco.
sitins of which perf.'elly fits either N r, t, 2, or 3.
The manner in which the dollar's are tneasumi by
this plate, is either horir, litany or vet tical),. The
plate measures the circumference, the thickness, anal
the diameter. The Public may be able to judge of
the difference between the 'counts:Tien d islar,, of
which there are two -Om, and the good one, by
the following standard of:
. weight t her good dt,llae
re.coined by Mr..Boulton, upon the avrridge weighs
416 grains, 'while the thickest of the counterfens
only weigh 37e grain", and the thinnest not in tee
than 310; COC,a, tpetttly it will be seen filar there Is
(Idpienee of 3e grains 'tail* the good &liar Ike*
thickest? and too grains to the tlont:et. This is a
sure criterion by which the may easily ins.
cover,the difference between the trait and the gth.d.
it is the intention of Mr. B to mark is great
number of thegage plaPes for the use of the Dubai,
which hi has already Legun, but they are not,yet
completed for sale, We have no dt:nbt that when
they .•t! read), the two ft-0* of riot ,% ill en stale
the public to deted the false dollar ficto the good,-
and thereby' prevent imposition. It may b ne.
cessary further to altar, ve, thtit the edge of she true
dollars are perk.'tly flat, while those' of she fake
' and counterfeit ones are not so, having aam tiwn
the middle of the edge, which MO be plainly
' tinguished by * glasts IVIr.:-Boulcan has tiskenon.
commorrpains eta dater the forgery, and it is from
a wish to prote&thc Public from imposi'i in, that he
has bean induced to issue 'the grge plates.
