Hello. It's been a few years since I've posted anything; so, please forgive me and advise me if I post anything wrong or post in wrong area. I received this $20 bill today and noticed some markings around the eye area and wanted to make sure it's not any kind of ink error before I spent it. Hoping it's not a bleed through from a teller's stamp. Thank you and God bless.

Looks like it might be a moneychanger's mark.

Outside of the US, some moneychangers (particularly in Asia and the Middle East) will put little stamps on the foreign notes that they've verified to be authentic - not entirely unlike the practice in past centuries of stamping "chop marks" onto foreign silver coins.

In any event, no, it's not any kind of printing error.

Possibly a Tellers stamp but definitely not an error.
