Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 05/02/2009 10:50 am I still haven't found any star notes in circulation. I've only been looking for a few months though! Report this Post to the Staff
one_qt_low99 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/02/2009 1:45 pm The top one is green and the two below are blue. A few months back I found a "1999 $5 error note wrong color blue" on ebay and it looks exactly the same as the middle and bottom note. Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/02/2009 4:00 pm I have never heard of a wrong color error on paper money and I don't think there is such an error. I have a 1963 $5 note that has a yellow seal instead of a red seal and was told by a respected dealer that the detergent uniform companies used would turn a red seal into a yellow seal when someone left it in their pocket. I'm sure your 2 notes above and the note you saw on ebay are just damaged the same way. Be careful on ebay. People will alter things or find altered things and try to sell them as errors. You can't use ebay as a tool to see what errors exist. Just a little advise. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/02/2009 10:09 pm The notes have been chemically altered, it is impossible for it to truly be blue ink as the BEP has not used blue ink since the days of silver certificates. Report this Post to the Staff
Magman Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 05/07/2009 4:37 pm Yup, kind of like how some Red Seals can turn Orange - always by chemicals (bleach in the case of red -> orange). Report this Post to the Staff
