Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 3:50 pm It's very hard to determine whether these errors are authentic. There are so many that have had their serial numbers chemically removed, which is why I generally avoid these notes. One thing that is usually a red flag is how circulated the note is. For such an obvious error, it seems odd nobody would have noticed, and saved it. Report this Post to the Staff

Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 12:04 pm Thanks for the responses everyone. That is a neat program, thanks for posting the images. I took a 10x loup to it and couldn't see any evidence of tampering in the serial number area either. Report this Post to the Staff
