I work in banking and this note stood out immediately. I thought it might be fake so did the normal tests we would do to detect fakes but all seemed ok. It has all its correct markings under uv light. I'm not an avid collector but would love an opinion on if this is a genuine dye error. Ty in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Serenise New Member Australia 4 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 07:25 am Obviously I have no idea with this but the shape of the over dye is different on each side of the note and the edges of the darker color are so sharp, ie no blur. The whole note has a slightly darker pink color across the whole note. It's not overly important I just find it fascinating. Thanks for your input Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 6:34 pm At first I couldn't spot the differences, the tellers stamp is an irrelevant red herring and most of the 2 notes shown are the same colour. Then I spotted the clearly different colouring on the reverse where it says five dollars, one is a pale mauve and the other has a bright pink colour. Did they modify the design or is it some error in the printing process? Report this Post to the Staff
