  BANK NOTE, contracts. A bank note resembles a common promissory note, (q. 
  v.) issued by a bank or corporation authorized to act as a bank. It is in 
  fact a promissory note, but such notes are not, for many purposes, to be 
  considered as mere securities for money; but are treated as money, in the 
  ordinary course and transactions of business, by the general consent of 
  mankind and, on payment of them, when a receipt is required, the receipts 
  are always given as for money, not as for securities or notes. 1 Burr. R. 
  457; 12 John. R. 200; 1 John. Ch. R. 231; 9 John. R. 120; 19 John. 144; 1 
  Sch. & Lef. 318, 319; 11 Ves. 662; 1 Roper, Leg. 3; 1 Ham. R. 189, 524; 15 
  Pick. 177; 5 G. & John. 58; 3 Hawks, 328; 5 J. J. Marsh. 643. 
       2. Bank notes are assignable by delivery. Rep. Temp. Hard. 53 9 East, 
  R. 48; 4 East, R. 510 Dougl. 236. The holder of a bank note is prima facie 
  entitled to prompt payment of it, and cannot be affected by the fraud of any 
  former holder in obtaining it, unless evidence be given to bring it home to 
  his privity. 1 Burr. 452; 4 Rawle, 185 13 East, R. 135 Dane's Ab. Index, h. 
  t.; Pow. on Mortg. lndex, h. t. U. S. Dig. h. t. Vide Bouv. Inst. Index, h. 
  t. Note; Promissory note; @Reissuable note. 
       3. They cannot be taken in execution. Cunning. on Bills, 537; Hardw. 
  Cases, 53; 1 Arch. Pr. 268 1 Wils. Rep. 9 Cro. Eliz. 746, pl. 25
