<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1059114, member: 11668&quot;]There are many 1996 $100&#039;s with this error.&nbsp; The currency paper is manufactured with a pattern of notches along the edges of the sheet, different for each denomination; the idea is that it&#039;ll be really obvious if a sheet is facing the wrong direction, or mixed in with sheets intended for another denomination.&nbsp; Unfortunately, a large batch of $100 paper was delivered to the BEP <i>with the notches at the wrong end</i>, so quite a few $100&#039;s were printed with inverted watermarks.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The AB..D block seems to be the most common, but there are others too, printed at around the same time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I haven&#039;t heard of this error occurring on any other denomination besides $100&#039;s.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t mean it hasn&#039;t happened, but I&#039;m pretty sure it hasn&#039;t happened in large quantities, at least.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.fstctycurr.com/errors.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fstctycurr.com/errors.html" rel="nofollow">Azpiazu has an example</a> of the 1996 $100 with inverted watermark in AU, offered at $375.&nbsp; (No image of the note, unfortunately.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
