In a prosecution against a person accused of embezzling or fraudulently
converting to his own use bullion, money, bank notes or other security for money
or items of personal property subject to larceny it shall be lawful in the same
indictment or accusation to charge and thereon to proceed against the accused
for any number of distinct acts of such embezzlements or fraudulent conversions

last of the acts charged in the indictment; and it shall be sufficient to allege
the embezzlement or fraudulent conversion to be of money without specifying any
particular money, gold, silver, note or security. Such allegation, so far as it
regards the description of the property, shall be sustained if the accused be

money or items of personal property subject to larceny although the particular
species be not proved.

And in a prosecution for the larceny of United States currency or for obtaining
United States currency by a false pretense or token, or for receiving United
States currency knowing the same to have been stolen, it shall be sufficient if

States treasury notes, certificates for either gold or silver coin, fractional
coin, currency, or any other form of money issued by the United States
government, or of obtaining the same by false pretense or token, or of receiving
the same knowing it to have been stolen although the particular species be not
proved.
