These two small sections protrude past the width when another bill is laid over top. Any added value past the 20? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

When this banknote is measured horizontally from the widest points top and bottom, I come up with 157mm perhaps a pinch more. When I measure the width of other random banknotes I come up with 155mm - 156mm. This twenty is at least 1mm - 1.5mm wider at the extended portions. Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like a slightly larger bill that has had a piece removed rather than protrusions. Last week I posted a bill at 158.5mm so yours being 157 isn't the issue, that's well within the spec of 156 +/-2 Report this Post to the Staff
