Hi, I'm new and joined just so I could ask a question in hopes that someone can help me. I recently got several $20.00 bills at the bank to do some Xmas shopping, most of them are the new 20's. One of them struck me as being very odd. The bottom right hand numeral 20 is a very shiney gold. It's the only one I've ever seen like this. Is it an error perhaps? Anyone know? Hope someone has an answer. Thanks, and Happy Holidays! Netmare
The number 20 in the bottom right of the bills is printed in color shifting ink. It will appear to be differant colors depending on the angle of the light it is viewed in. This is done to prevent counterfeiting. Check this site.... http://www.moneyfactory.com/newmoney/main.cfm/currency/aboutNotes?CFID=629910&CFTOKEN=60990718
Thanks! I did indeed check out that site and you're right. I don't know much about coins and currency, but thought it was sure worth asking about. Thanks so much for your reply. I hope you find a coin or bill somewhere that is worth MILLIONS !! Happy Holidays to you and yours! Netmare
This reminds me of a customer at my work who tried to sell me a $10.00 for far over face value because he thought the chop marks were an error. As if the mint would accidentally print a dolphin on currency :/
