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.
