Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 04/25/2025 8:31 pm Having this mental issue of looking at every coin/Bill that passes my hand, I looked at this $2 Bill and found a small, but unusual "error" on this bill. What happened to it? It looks like a corner of another bill =was on it when printed. Nothing shows on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 04/25/2025 8:39 pm Banknotes are printed in sheets of 40 so there is no way the corner of another bill could be on it. It just looks like the bill has been washed out, maybe gone through a washing machine or has been exposed to some chemical. Report this Post to the Staff
Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 04/25/2025 8:44 pm I think OP is referring to the missing ink, downward-triangular-shaped on the top left edge, above the "F" seal (looking at the small second picture). Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 04/25/2025 9:07 pm Yes, that is what I was referring to. If you look across the top, there are several areas that are missing. Report this Post to the Staff

Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 04/26/2025 9:44 pm Thanks for looking. Here's a close-up of the area. Edges look straight, which still puzzles me. Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 04/26/2025 10:53 pm Looks like it was taped to something (birthday/holiday card?) and part of the design came off when the tape was removed. Report this Post to the Staff
