Day 6:
This $20.00 Federal Reserve Note is another example of an " Overprint on Back" or " Reverse Overprint" error, which is generally caused by an uncut sheet being fed into a press with the obverse of the note facing the overprinting press. The information printed by the overprinting press include Treasury and Federal Reserve District seals, district numbers and serial numbers. Such a note will be missing these elements from the front, and instead have each displayed on the back.

Day 7:  This $20.00 Federal Reserve Note is yet another example of something going horribly, horribly wrong at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This particular error, called " Seal Shift,"is similar to the "Seal Drop" described above and occurs when the the currency sheet moves during third printing when multiple elements are supposed to printed simultaneously (but are actually applied by different machines), causing some of the elements (in this case both seals and the district numbers) to be shifted down. [Again, the back of this note looks like a perfectly ordinary $20 bill, which is why I didn't include a picture of it.] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- That's for Error Note week! And now, for a special bonus, my complete (such as it is) collection of notes with fancy serial numbers:  [This type of serial number is, I believe, referred to as a "Near Solid". If only that one 8 were a 5 instead...]  [This type of serial number is, I believe, referred to as a "Binary."]  [This type of serial number is, I believe, referred to as a "true binary super repeater."]  [This type of serial number is, I believe, referred to as a "binary repeater" or "super repeater."]

Great "Seal drop" error on the $20! Like the bonus repeaters too! Sweet way to wrap up your thread @barryg |

This was fun. Not my area of collecting, but I definitely appreciate these errors a bit better. Thx for doing this @barr!

I enjoyed seeing all of them and really gained a much better understanding/appreciation for these fantastic errors. Thank you very much @barryg for the hosted tour. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Your binary super repeater is also a flipper!

I thought Flipper was a dolphin. Or was he a porpoise?

Love 'em all Barry.
Thanks for sharing and sponsoring a wonderful thread chocked full of visibly dramatic error notes and curiosities. Well done bud.

My pleasure, Steve! I'm just glad some people appreciated them as much as I do.
I have to admit, whenever somebody posts about an "error" note they found that has a small smudge or is slightly misaligned, I want to go all Crocodile Dundee on them and say, "That's not an error note. THIS is an error note!"
But that would be a jerky thing to do, so I figured I would just do this instead...
