Early New York Paper Currency. 79 



Currency limited to June, 1800. 

 Amount canceled, $185,165 10s. 



1788. 



As the bills of the issue of 1786 were largely counter- 

 feited, the legislature in 1788 (Feb. 8) passed an act creating 

 new bills to be substituted for such of them as were still 

 in circulation. They were similar to the last excepting 

 the date, and the addition of the words, "tis death to 

 counterfeit."

 DePeyster, Nicholas Hoffman.
