Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 11/21/2010 2:24 pm Recently I bought 2 notes from 1 of our (Dutch) former colonies, when they arrived I saw that 1 of the 2 has a small misprint! Look at the left and right side of the note, the Quality is About Ucirulated It's 10 Guilders issued by the Japanese Government during their occupation in WWII And I thought that doesn't happen very often, but I didn't know how that was in that time period though. So I went for a little research: And it appears that there are a lot of variation regarding this particular note... Maybe someone can elaborate on it ? Look at the positions of the serialnumbers SI and how the note is cut (often really bad) Is it because of the variations, or just bad printing because of other priorities...?

Quality was not a high priority for an Empire already stretched in resources, a fact also evidenced by the lack of a serial number. 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

There were a variety of counterfeit notes printed by the US with this note (I believe unless it was a different denomination). The one way you can tell is there are two bunches of bananas instead of one hanging. The 2nd bunch is underneath the bunch of coconuts (of whatever they are) on the right side of the note.
