Cheers for any suggestions. Report this Post to the Staff

In Australia, it is illegal for banks, shops, private individuals or anyone else to place any kind of mark or stamp on a note. However, this law does not apply overseas. Money exchangers, particularly in Asia, are in the habit of placing these small marks onto banknotes that they handle. You can see similar stamps on Australian notes in these threads: http://goccf.com/t/245795 http://goccf.com/t/234091 http://goccf.com/t/159382 http://goccf.com/t/153328 life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

I was told this tells the counting staff the Note is genuine and doesn't have to be inspected again but there are probably multiple reasons. Report this Post to the Staff
