BizzyBonez Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 04/27/2026 10:56 pm Hi everyone I have this $5 bill and noticed that the print or the cut is really off. The top and bottom are not even at all. Is this a common thing or is this something rare? Thanks for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

Yours is well within tolerance so not an error. They aren't classified as "errors" untill the border difference becomes extreme........could be from a misalignment error or from when the sheets are cut. https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/artic...tember-2021/ Report this Post to the Staff
