Here is my newest note. I believe it is genuine based off the series numbers, since this is not from an uncut sheet. My dad got it for me from the local grocery store. What do you all think. They used a counterfeit pin on it out of concern even though it has all the water marks.

I am surprised that it has circulated some. I am curious if you think the corner damaged happened during printing or after. Let me know what you all think. I wonder where the rest from this sheet made it too.

Cool error note. Looks legit, but to be sure, did you see a security strip ?

I would be tempted to send some photos to Fred Bart for his opinion. PM me for Fred's email address if interested.

Is there a price on that note? Because I would love to add that to my collection.

Yes, it has a security strip. I can take a picture when I get home later with my phone as a light box to show it.

It's a cool note, is it like a half inch longer than a regular bill, if so how did it manage to get into circulation ?

Stever - How would something like this happen at the BEP?

From what I understand, after the second print, the 32-subject sheets are cut into half sheets. Then, the 16-subject half sheets are stacked and receive serial numbers and seals. So far, everything is fine with the sheet this note is printed on. It has to be that the 16-subject half sheet was pulled partially to the right and folded 90 degrees, and then cut. This might also explain the fraying on the right side.

My best guess.

According to USPaperMoney.info, the series 2013 $5 sheets were printed as Atlanta FRB notes. The OPs note is a Cleveland note, so I don't see how it could be post BEP manufactured.

with Steve on how the error occurred. It's a D4 position note and a pull to the right before cutting the sheet in half would account for this error. The fraying probably occurred as this too wide note made its way through the rest of the printing process.

The plate position of the OP's note is F4, putting the note on right side of the stack being cut .
