Meaning-Of-Upside-Down-Y-On-Dollar-Bill-After-Serial-Number

Under magnification, this appears to have been originally printed on the bill. It's a new one to me and I'm wondering if this is intentional or accidental.

Cannot be original to the bill. Perhaps a stray remnant of a teller stamp. Did not leave the BEP like this.

Are you able to take a clearer picture? It's probably a chop mark but it's too blurry to tell.

Looking at it under even higher magnifications, It looks less printed and more written. Sorry to trouble you with this one.

I agree with Mr Frog.

Most likely caused by a wayward teller stamp or just idle doodling by someone with too much time on their hands!

Posts like this are no trouble at all. It helps everyone to learn.

A perfect example of one of the most popular claims by new collectors, especially on this forum. Stray marks and stampings applied long after the note has left the BEP are typically to blame.
