That's a fake error. The 3 9's in the serial number (999######) mean it came from an uncut sheet and was made by someone. So not really a good find. Here is my fake error.   Notice the 999 serial number. Edited by hfjacinto

@Richard, it happens. First time I saw my fake error I had to do a double take. The 999 serial number was what flagged it for me as I had an uncut sheet with 999 in the serial number. Checked the USA Paper Money website and confirmed the note came from an uncut sheet.

I guess Junior needed some ice cream money and took the scissors to his parents uncut sheet paper money collection.  |

I agree with hfjacinto. But, you cannot always go by the 999 rules because the BEP changed the way they do sheets at a certain year. I forget what year they started doing that though. Steve is our note guy, let's wait for his input. John1  |

 That bill came from an uncut sheet and was hand cut by someone outside the BEP. Not an error. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

It's definitely from a BEP issued uncut sheet. These are the serial number ranges for 1976 $2 notes.  |

This is a spender or destroy it as someone else will think it's an error.

@john1,
While Steve is an expert, I think a few of us know enough about paper money to be able to give advice.

Not knowing hardly anything about currency errors: there are no mistakes where the bills are printed correctly but then the sheet is cut incorrectly? It will always be the printing was offset on the sheet, so one side is correct and the other is misaligned?
