Hello,
in a German forum someone has shown this bill.
I can not believe that this bill is a original.
Is it possible that this is a scan from an authentic bill?
Thanks for help
King regards

To my limited knowledge I believed that the lowest possible serial number is 1 and if it was just 1 on a large note then they wouldn't include all the zeros in front it would be just a 1. Amazing note if real!

Having all zeros for the serial # can't be real.

And yes, serial #s do have leading zeros, so the first one printed would be 00000001.

At first,Thanks for your answers.
I do not know what kind of bill this is.
I see only the chance that the bill is a specimen.
But why they do not write this on the bill? Why the bill have the zeros?
Old US large Size currency do not have zeros, the always starting with 1, without any zero before.
The maximum digits at this time also was eight like today.
The modern US currency only have specimen bills with ladder Numbers.
For example A 23456789 A or A 12345678 A.
But this modern specimens are marked with red SPECIMEN prints.
The other kind of modern specimen is the face, they have 8 zeros and only the front side is printed.
The Z........Z only means that was the last print run.
For the Teehee and Burke eagles I know only bills where prefix and suffix are identical.
For all other versions I have also seen other combinations.
I do not know what is that?
I have invested so much time in my knowledge of the U.S. currency but there are constantly news.
My knowledge of the U.S. currency is almost as small as my English.
Perhaps we can find some more informations.
Again Thanks...

I think that, that note has been photoshopped because after looking at the serial number usually if one is out of alignment just a little then the same number in the other serial number will look the same and on the first note the left side isn't perfectly straight while the top right serial numbers are way nicer in line. Just a observation.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement because the machines that printed the serial numbers are two different entities; if one is out of alignment that doesn't mean that the other one will be. That doesn't mean the bill wasn't Photoshopped; I just don't think you can point to that as a reason why.

Hello people,
Photoshop sounds logical.
Thanks again for your opinions.
