vitivanov New Member Russian Federation 4 Posts	Posted 08/08/2013 08:39 am I've got a bill which looks exactly like this, but the year is mistyped: http://goingon80.files.wordpress.co...lar-bill.jpg Is it just a fake note or some rare typo? Updated: here's the photo of my bill: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9542...94ed1a9_orig Edited by vitivanov 08/08/2013 09:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

vitivanov New Member Russian Federation 4 Posts	Posted 08/08/2013 10:09 am It's "Series 200!" not "Series 2001". The photo is not perfect, but you can still see it clearly. Will try to re-make it tomorrow in the bright sunlight, and will post a close up Edited by vitivanov 08/08/2013 10:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
BisonMatt Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 08/08/2013 11:13 am Interesting note, more of just a slight inking issue than an error or typo. I would keep it for fun, but I don't think there is a value for it above face. Report this Post to the Staff
vitivanov New Member Russian Federation 4 Posts	Posted 08/08/2013 12:07 pm Doesn't look like an inking issue - it's a perfectly printed exclamation mark. And "1" and "!" is the same key of the keyboard, that's why I think it might be forged - some Photoshop designer in Baghdad wasn't really careful :) Report this Post to the Staff

It's just like the tiny vertical un-inked lines on the right side of Jackson's coat on that particular bill. Edited by coinsearcher83 08/08/2013 12:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
vitivanov New Member Russian Federation 4 Posts	Posted 08/08/2013 12:45 pm coinsearcher83 - I think you're right. Searched through the drawers and found a 10x looking glass - area between the stick and the point is sort of greyish, there probably was a tiny piece of ink which fell off. But I can't say I'm 100% sure, even at such magnification (while I can easily read "The United States of America" on the rim of the portrait typed with minuscule font) the "exclamation mark" looks quite neat.
