Nice pics. I see an opaque area in the strip in the 1st pic,maybe that opaque area just happened to land near the edges? John1  |

Thanks for the photo. It looks like minor shrinkage, possibly from accidentally being thrown in the dryer. It's unusual but very minor.

The security strip has shrunk somehow after it was printed
so no matter how it happened, it is not an error.

very nice - but can you post up a full width of the security strip? maybe the entire bill both sides too?

No it's not supposed to look like that, it always spans to the very edges and the printing on it is aligned with the rest of the bill from top to bottom

Looks like shrinkage from being exposed to extreme heat, maybe a clothes iron or dryer. Either way just worth 100$. Still interesting though!

If it shrunk why only the first 1/4" at top and bottom and not the entire strip? It affected only half of the word 'HUNDRED', the top boarder but not the bottom as indicated by the arrows.  This is normal:  |

if it's not supposed to be like that, nearly every $100 I've seen is an error note, which I highly doubt
there's a tolerance range for the location of the security strip, if you look at other $100s you'll find the strip's location varies a little from note to note

I meant a 1/4" from the top (the edge of the bill) to where it stopped shrinking - not the total amount of shrinkage.

Thanks for chiming in guys. I don't have the bill anymore. I think, even though I've never seen one like this, that the dryer/extreme heat is the most likely explanation
