@Richard, it happens. First time I saw my fake error I had to do a double take. The 999 serial number was what flagged it for me as I had an uncut sheet with 999 in the serial number. Checked the USA Paper Money website and confirmed the note came from an uncut sheet.

I guess Junior needed some ice cream money and took the scissors to his parents uncut sheet paper money collection.  |

I agree with hfjacinto. But, you cannot always go by the 999 rules because the BEP changed the way they do sheets at a certain year. I forget what year they started doing that though. Steve is our note guy, let's wait for his input. John1  |

 That bill came from an uncut sheet and was hand cut by someone outside the BEP. Not an error. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

It's definitely from a BEP issued uncut sheet. These are the serial number ranges for 1976 $2 notes.  |

This is a spender or destroy it as someone else will think it's an error.

@john1,
While Steve is an expert, I think a few of us know enough about paper money to be able to give advice.

Not knowing hardly anything about currency errors: there are no mistakes where the bills are printed correctly but then the sheet is cut incorrectly? It will always be the printing was offset on the sheet, so one side is correct and the other is misaligned?

Most miscuts are minor and straight edge, they don't look like someone took a scissor to a note (like the OP posted). |

I had a fake error like that once. The cashier at Walmart was already freaked out by two dollar bills and when I said it looked like someone cut that one apart with scissors she called for management. After about 10 or 15 minutes the manager said everything was OK and instructed the cashier to take my money. I think some of the people behind me in line were unhappy. |

huh, that was my first impression of this note here (that it was cut at home from a full sheet). You can even see the hesitation cuts from the scissors while they were being repositioned for the next cut.
