Typhon New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 3:05 pm I have a US 20 Dollar specimen banknote. I can't find another one on the net, does anyone know anything about this, and also the value. Thanks so much. Edited by Typhon 09/03/2013 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Typhon New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 4:42 pm Thanks for the response. :-) Here are some better pictures. Also the paper it's printed on feels like real money. This is all I could find on the net about them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specimen_banknote And thanks for your time... Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 5:27 pm Your pictures clearly show ink bleed from contact with water, that leads me to believe that these are imposters that came from an ink jet printer. Report this Post to the Staff
Typhon New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 5:35 pm Glad you took note of that because I forgot to mention. I don't know anything about how money is printed, and I was wondering that myself. Also this money has a blank back, which I was also curious about. But found something called "Face Specimen" which I think means the printing is only done on the face. Anyway, back in the box it goes. Thank you for the help. :-) I'm eighty years old, it would have been nice to have a few extra dollars before I go, but such is life. ;-) Report this Post to the Staff

But it's not an official Fed-issued specimen note. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
