I'v kept this note since the change over to polymer, as you can see compared next to a normal note the print is closer to the top of the note. Just curious as to what the value of this note and if the misprint affects the value. Image:  DSCF2763.jpg38.13 KB Edited by Rick1347

it's been a while since I've handled a paper $50.
Your note seems to be dislocated, upwards.
I'd check the dimensions:
ought to be 165 x 82 mm.

Can't give you a value sorry as errors aren't really my thing, and can't even give a Maccas value as the photo is too blurred. But I can tell you that if that is an old photo album, your note will eventually stick to it and be worth nothing but face value, if you can get enough of it off the page to take to the bank.
Speaking from experience from my younger days of collecting.

Not just the notes, those "photo" albums are no good for photos either.

Plastic is not the problem here, photo albums have a coating on the pages that stop the photos sliding around. Don't know what the coating is, but as Learjet says, they aren't good for photos, and they aren't good for anything else either. The coating eventually bonds with whatever is touching it and pretty much becomes a part of it. Makes it very, very hard to remove items intact.
If you want to display your notes, get a good note album. I don't display mine, they are stored in acid free boxes with silica gel packs to control humidity. I get them from an art supply shop. Cheap and easy.

So it deforms the item and turns it into it self? Sounds like a monster!
I've only got 3 paper notes, just in a money box, they have folds in them.
