Wet ink transfer one dollar bill

I go to the bank every couple of weeks and order a $1000.00 in one's for my grandson who is 12 as he collects star notes, sometimes we go through them together and other times he may go through them himself looking for the star notes. In the middle of one of the strapped notes we found the notes I uploaded.

I am not a collector of paper money and was not sure how this could have happened so I tried to do a search of what it could be, after looking at some picture's of other notes that had what looked like a ghost print they were called wet ink transfer which is where I came up with the message, but to be honest I had no idea if the post was a ink transfer or something else.

 

Thanks. So this goes back to my earlier comment - if it's a deliberately created "error", how does it end up sequentially in a bank strap?

 

Got me by the short hairs!

 

Tell 'em David Blaine did it.

 

Not just that, but you're not going to profit from the "error" you created! Instead of being found in the pack by a collector it's more likely to end up in circulation. Maybe it was done just to stump people on a forum.

 

This is the mystery
Send it in for authentication.
I can make something like that but a little more convincing.
Think about it, a foldover would have the image reversed and be on a few more of the bills in the strap.
What's the cost of authentication?
I'd definitely like to see if it would pass.

 

Now that being said... the only way I can see this happening is IF the sheet of paper being square?? What size are complete printed sheets before cutting?
If the sheets are indeed square or real close...
IF the sheet was run through the printing press, pulled out of the delivery end ( maybe as a sample to check print quality or possibly there was a shutdown ) and then the sheet SOMEHOW got put back on the feed pile rotated 90° at which point the already printed sheet was fed through the machine again and printed again??
I could see this type of error (IF you will) happening.

That may explain why only one bill in the strap has it? But there should be more out there in other straps.
If you truly found this in a fresh from the bank teller wrapped strap, Definitely send it in for authentication.

I may know a little something about printing

 

Don't you think if your theory were true there would be at least one other note printed on the "original" note? They are close together on a sheet.

 

The only explanation I have to answer that is a possible double sheet on the feed.
That could have caused a shut down of the press?

I have never been to the BEP to take a tour, maybe I should put it on my list of things to do

 

Thank You everyone for all your help, it is greatly appreciated. I will tell my grandson that it is most probably a fake and let him decide if he wants to keep it or not
