Then a light sharpening. It's a new scanner so it'll take some time to figure it out. Anyone have trouble scanning the new notes? I tried scanning a $20 2006 series and the scanner will not do it. It keeps telling me the "item is note placed correctly in the scanner." Is this part of the new anti-counterfeit stuff with these new notes? __________________ -=Mark It is said that life begins at 40...but it really doesn't get exciting till around 110...mph![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]   12-28-2007, 02:44 PM   #2 (permalink) hontonai Registered Contrarian   Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,434 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by vlcnrydr I tried scanning a $20 2006 series It sounds like you have a scanner problem. I haven't seen any 2006 series - these brand new notes were obtained from the bank 10 days ago and they're 2004.

It does not matter what I do The machine will not scan the newer notes. I even took a page from a magazine and put it behind the twenty when the machine got to the note it stopped and told me it could not be done. I put an older note in the exact same spot and...no problems. So far it refuses to scan series 2004A and 2006 $10 and $20 notes. __________________ -=Mark It is said that life begins at 40...but it really doesn't get exciting till around 110...mph![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]   12-31-2007, 09:01 AM   #5 (permalink) hontonai Registered Contrarian   Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,434 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by vicnrydr So far it refuses to scan series 2004A and 2006 $10 and $20 notes. The $10 I scanned with my ancient HP SC500 is a 2004A, so the problem must be with your scanner, not the note. __________________ Ethical conduct is being honest when no one is watching.   01-01-2008, 09:32 AM   #6 (permalink) vlcnrydr keepin' em raw**     Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Central MA Posts: 151 Quote: Originally Posted by hontonai The $10 I scanned with my ancient HP SC500 is a 2004A, so the problem must be with your scanner, not the note. My thoughts are that there is some programming in this new scanner which recognises the new notes and does not allow them to be scanned. I don't know... I'll keep messing with it though... __________________ -=Mark It is said that life begins at 40...but it really doesn't get exciting till around 110...mph![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
