Hi, I'm new here, but a longtime collector.
A friend came across this a couple weeks ago and is puzzled. I am too. I've seen/owned notes with black seals that should have been green, but I've never seen black serial numbers like this before. This is a zoom of a pretty hi-res photo he sent me, I don't see anything here that makes me think it's phony- there are weak spots in the printing consistent with the texture of the fibers of the paper as with normally printed notes, nothing appears as though it's been drawn over with a pen.

Has anyone seen/heard of this particular sort of error?
Thanks!

Oops, sorry-it's a 2013 so it'd be the LEPE overprinting

Welcome to CCF @JAYOHEN

It's very possible that the ink color could be different when overprinted by LEPE. The serial numbering print head for left and right serial numbers are so large now, they do not fit side by side. Currency overprinted on LEPE now actually has a *four*-color overprint where *three* of the colors are green: the left and right serial numbers are printed separately, because the new computerized numbering blocks are so large that they can't be crammed together close enough to print all the serial numbers on a sheet in one pass.
