Hi to all In an Italian forum (cartamonetaitaliana.it) an user submitted this strange note: The note, $ 100 Series 1969A, has the same design on face and back. I didn't found this type of error in US paper money catalogs, but the strangest thing is that the note appears as widely circulated, and this seems impossible to me: I think that an error like this, would be immediately seen, and the note withdrawn for collection or exchange in a bank. The owner, an italian girl, says that her great-grandfather arrived in Italy in 1978, with US dollars, when he died his things had gone to her uncle, who also recently died. In the cleaning of his possessions were found some foreign notes, including American ones, Australian, and old Italian lire (and this, of course). My opinion is that it's a fake, what do you think? petronius
I don't think it's possible to have an error like this. There would have to be a whole sheet that went through and got the obverse design printed without a reverse, and it would have to then get printed on again. If you just showed me each side individually, I would just say "meh, another circulated $100," but this is clearly a fake.
counterfeit. If it was real, the printing on one side would be reversed and the serial number wouldn't be visible on both sides
Did anyone notice that the fold through Franklin in the top photo extends through the right eye, and the fold through Franklin in the bottom photo extends through the left eye. Chris
Despite the green ink, the rest of it looks like a Xeroxed photo copy. And the "paper" seems to actually be paper and not cotton/linen.
There is no way this type of printing can happen. The serial numbers and seals are printed at a different time and the front and back plates are also. I might as well draw something and have a better chance of passing it as real.
