I don't know enough about currency. But I want to learn as much as I can...so I keep coming back here to read and learn.
I think what you have is real...and a great find!
I can't wait for the experts to chime in so I can learn some more.

The note looks real. Just make sure the green 100 has the color changing ink and that the paper has red and blue threads in it. It also looks like the security line is too the left of Franklin, so based on the look I would say you have your self a real error. Just make sure the paper feels like it should, US currency has a distinct feel. I don't collect these but they do have value.

If you use your fingernail and gently move it along the engraving of Franklin's jacket or coat below the white collar. You should be able to feel the engraved bumps on a real bill. This works on all the most recent US Paper currency so try it on something in your wallet and then feel the difference on this one.

The notes appears to be authentic. Get it into a currency sleeve before it gets more handling marks on it.

Good find. Take Steve's advice and get it into a protective sleeve.

Nice find that looks genuine to me.

The whole sheet was printed this way, so there would have been 31 other notes just like it. Whether any of the others made it past BEP inspection or not will take some investigative auction records research.

The sooner the note is protected in a high quality currency sleeve the better off it will be.

Easily worth multiples of face value!
