Hi...I have a note which appears to have the initials P2 on the bottom right corner. The "2" is far too neat to be handwritten.....ideas?

Looks handwritten to me atleast. Doesn't look unnaturally 'neat' in my opinion.

handwritten, the P screams hand done as well as the 2, plus it appears to be in pencil....

"The "2" is far too neat to be handwritten" if some people can hand engrave the designs that will end up on coins, bills and stamps then I thin most can handle simple hand writing which on your bill looks a little sloppy at best ; )

Whether it is hand-written or printed on with an ink-stamp pad, is irrelevant: either way, it is not a printing error.

While it is illegal for banks in Australia to deface notes while they are in their possession, overseas banks and moneychangers have no such legal obstructions, and frequently stamp or write on banknotes that they handle. You can see other threads with similar moneychangers marks here and here.
