Looks like some kinda ink smearing occurred during the second printing step. Could have been caused by a wayward ink droplet that found its way on to this sheet of notes being printed before the next sheet fell onto it. This is a very fast printing process and stuff happens! Chances are pretty good that there were other notes on this sheet that were affected by that wayward ink droplet, too.
Kinda neat very minor error in my opinion. Thanks for posting!
(Others may offer a better explanation)

Yes, people do practice their origami skills and return the notes to circulation.
The black ink partial image transfers can occur when notes are wet and subjected to harsh environments. They dry out, are separated and the partial images remain.
If you think it's an error then fIll out a submission form to any of the currency and grading companies and they will be more than happy to take some of your money, grade and authenticate the note for you.
When it gets back frame it, along with the paperwork, and keep it as a reminder.
It is what it is. At least it's still worth 20$ and is still redeemable!
