This dollar bill has the look and feel of a real dollar bill and appears to be printed on the correct paper. I've had this for 35 years, anybody have any information? The date is to small to read, but the serial number is visible

I've seen that process online, but didn't think that process would go this small, what's the size of your bills?

Funny, but not really what I was looking for. Was my bill shrunk, can you shrink a bill this small, or was it printed this way?

Come on,
No you cant shrink a real bill that small. You buy them in novelty shops, I have small 100.00's that are air fresheners for the car.

Listen, I'm no expert, That's why I posted on this site. I thought it might be a novelty item but it appears to be printed on the proper paper. Just looking for information not sarcasm. So please if you don't have any real information please don't reply.

So, So sorry you have a chip on your shoulder, lighten up, life is way to short not to smile once in a while.

You say:
"if you don't have any real information please don't reply"

Well,
If you think what I said was sarcasm, and you also think what I said was not informative, helpful and NOT real information then let me say it this way.

This may make you feel better. May even get a smile out of ya.

O M G,
You have found one of the extremely RARE shrinking dollar bills.

These are very rarely seen, they are worth somewhere in the 4 $$$$ figure range, better yet send it out to one of the TPG's for grading, then it may get up into the 5 figure range. I'm so, so happy for ya.

Hows that for a feel good statement.

What I said in my response was fact, not candy coated Bull Stuff.

Please don't worry about me trying to help you out in the future, it wont happen till you come down out of the clouds and walk with us mortals.
Regards
Bill Collector

For this to be an authentic Bureau of Printing and Engraving error would mean that a tiny printing plate was made. There is just no chance that happened. There is a 99% chance it is a novelty item and a 1% chance it is shrunken. Sadly, either way it doesn't have much value.

I think this falls into the realm of gnomismatics.
