It has a blue seal and very light right side of the bill, as if it's missing a run of color. I didn't know where to find out any info about this so I'm hoping someone could help me. Thank you!

The color was affected by the bill being exposed to some type of chemical and that reaction is what altered it. Keep looking! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 11/22/2021 8:36 pm It's my understanding that some enzyme-based laundry detergents can cause ink colours on banknotes to change in odd, unpredictable ways - like making the serial numbers and seals change colour and leave everything else the same. In this case, with half the note bleached white, I'd suspect actual bleach to be the culprit. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
