I don't know much about notes and the printing process, At first I thought maybe I've been given a counterfeit although this is a legit note (Serial glows under UV light, stamped clear window etc..) Any thoughts on this error would be helpful, from what I've read before posting may be ATM grease or grime, or damage from a solvent, although I have thoroughly examined and it does not remove as a grime or grease, and there is not surrounding damage to the other colours which would suggest it was not a solvent. Please see the pictures attached Report this Post to the Staff

Ain't it just a case of the ink in certain spots not drying properly and then running? Edited by banknotelover 01/20/2013 08:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

I've seen a few & banknotelover, exactly right as far as drying, so the note prior to this one in the DM08/FM08 213203 will have a small/light amount of ink on it. Report this Post to the Staff
