Mzeek17 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 12:45 pm I fou d this dollar, nothung really special about it considering the shape, I thought it was probably just faded from a wallet/pocket etc... but then I noticed the serial numbers and seals are still very vibrant on all areas of the otherwise faded bill. Which led me to the possibility of a possible last printed (or close to)bill before refilling the onk. Does this seem logical or am I being too imaginative here? And if not is this common? Lmk what you think.. Report this Post to the Staff

There is no way that could happen during the printing or pass by quality control. It has possibly gone through a washing machine which bleached out some of the printing. I believe that the seals and serial numbers use a different ink so it is possible they were not affected. Report this Post to the Staff
