ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 1:40 pm Hi all! A local dealer friend recently acquired this note in a small collection he purchased. I believe the blue ink could be from a paper band that held a stack together once upon a time. Is this PMD (if that's what it's called in the currency world) or is this anything special? Thanks for your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 4:12 pm I don't believe there is a design. I don't have it in hand at the moment, but from what I remember, it seemed odd. Report this Post to the Staff

captaincoffee Pillar of the Community United States 600 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 6:06 pm In terms of the inking/printing process, it is hard for me to think of a way the blue ink could have been printed on the bill like that at the BEP. Since it is not any of the typical smear, offset, overprint, alignment, etc. errors, I think you have to default to post printing damage. Good question on if there is a PMD-like acronym for banknotes. I don't know. Report this Post to the Staff
ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 09/29/2020 10:56 am Thanks @jbuck! @captaincoffee - That's what I was wondering as well. How would this blue ink appear during the printing process as, apart from the serial number, there is no source of blue ink on the note? It seems unlikely that it's an error, but it's always worth an ask. Report this Post to the Staff
