Every one Of these Banks has its separately
engraved and printed notes, differing in form or
design pictorAlly, and each Bank issues thu
various denominations which by usage seem to
have become rule.
Our paper currency may therefore be designa-
ted as OF the denominations Of one, two, three,
five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, five hun
dred, and one thousand dollars. This shows ten
different denominations as the usual quota from
the prominent old Banks In the Eastern and
Middle States. II may be stated, however, that
Of the Banks of the West &c., the larger demo-
mination above named are rarely used-they
seldom issue notes Of denominations above fifty
or one hundred dollars.
In view Of these facts, aud to the end that we
mny present fair average exhibit, let us allow
six different forms Of notes TO each Of these 1896
Banks. The result of this simple multiplication
will give the formidable number of 6, 1870 varietits
of aotfs in circulation and use from these ac-
credited Banks.
Moreover, the varied issues of the " fraudu-
lent, broken, and worthless Banks should not
be overlooked. OF this olass-of " Retired
Banks" as they are styled-s54 are enumerated
in the published list furnished by the " Descrip-
tive List for january, 1868. Such as these
have heretofore contributed, and in many in
stances still contribute their quota to this pro-
miscuous catalogue.
One phase of our paper currency, engendered
by this multiform system, calls for special notice
and consideration. We refer to cOunterfeiting.
1t may be safely stated that the art, as pursued
in the United States, is without parallel, aad
that, without Vaunt or hyperboe, we can " beat
the world" on this national specialize counter
ieitiDg. A species of literature, even unknown
to the rest of the world has been initiated among
us and no merchant or mechanic deems him
self safe unless he cOnsults the "Counterfeit
Detector." These publications have become
articles Of "prime necessity" to the profit oi
the publishers, doubtless If not to the commu-
nifty and they are spawned weekly, semi
monthly, and monthly in most of our cities
We need not enlarge upon this topic amazing at
it always appears to foreign observers and Wri-
ters on these subjects.
. The absolute facts, as detailed by those inte
rested in keeping the records of counterfeits
appear mOustrons and fabulous, even beyont
credence. OF the various kinds it is estimated
that there are about SIX thousand. How many
of each kind must be conjectured, as we have nj
means Of catechising the originators. 1t woulC
seem however, as the rule, that the better thu
Banks the more numerous the counterfeits. W,
cite, In illustration, that Massachusetts has on,
hundred and eighty.hye Banks. " Thompson
Reporter" of recent date, describes counterfeit
on one hundred and sxty-nine of these, ant
" Gwynne & Days" specifies one hundred ant
ssventy-four. A like inference may be draw
from the same authorities in reference to ths
