- Description:
- The article discusses counterfeiting money in early New England, particularly in New Hampshire. It examines the circulation of false bills and coins and comments on 1738 and 1774 New Hampshire laws that made counterfeiting punishable by death, whipping, or hard labor. The author suggests that juries were reluctant to convict counterfeiters. The article also reflects on several court cases and various New England men accused of counterfeiting, including Samuel Dustin, Owen Sullivan, and Thomas Worthen.
