I've worked in print for allot of years and it seems to me that what you have there is either a defect caused by someone intending to remove the black ink purposely. Or you have what is called in the print business ``the make readies``. (This is the printing presses first few hundred sheets of paper that get thrown away, this used for the printing press to get the densities of the ink up to the right standard). Was it printed by del LA rue? I don't know much about Australian currency.

I'll stick my neck out and say it is a genuine print fault. As Candace says the red is all there and don't think it is possible to remove the black ink without affecting the red. The words Twenty Dollars under the 20 show no disturbance of the red ink. All the red ink is there under Mary Reibey's missing head.

I can see the red underneath now sorry. Perhaps the printing machine was running out of ink.

Really nice find Candace  Can you take a comparison picture of the other side too? Coming to a theatre near you ...... Polymer Twenty .... staring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.

It is a pity there are already two for sale at present- makes it harder to advertise as a rarity. I hope yours is confirmed as 'real' and you can fund another project with the profit.!!
