Joseph cautions Church members about speculators who are "palming upon them" bills from the Kirtland Bank which are worthless.
Joseph Smith, “Caution,” Messenger and Advocate 3, no. 11 (August 1837): 560
To the brethren and friends of the church of Latter Day Saints, I am disposed to say a word relative to the bills of the Kirtland Safety Society Bank. I hereby warn them to beware of speculators, renegadoes and gamblers, who are duping the unsuspecting and the unwary, by palming upon them, those bills, which are of no worth, here. I discountenance and disapprove of any and all such practices. I know them to be detrimental to the best interests of society, as well as to the principles of religion.
