ClusterCoin Valued Member Australia 136 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 9:39 pm I recently came across this slightly odd looking $1 and was wondering if it's an error where one of the print runs was weak, or is the banknote just faded? Seems to effect the front and back, with the weaker print being easier to see on the front. Comparison between the note and a normal well worn banknote at the bottom: I'm leaning more towards faded/worn, but the other print colours don't seem to be affected. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

When the first $5 polymer banknote was released one kid in my school had an obsession with licking their thumb and rubbing the face of the queen off. Why? I don't know, but they thought it was hilarious. Report this Post to the Staff
