[QUOTE="Donn, post: 2172717, member: 13399"]I'm no spert on bills and their properties, but if you fold the bill (front to front) along the lower horizontal crease, it will match up with the faint printing in the center of the bill(3post full view.JPG). I suspect that this bill will tend to fold that way because of the way the creases were made. Was this bill folded in thirds horizontally, in order to fit into a money belt? (conjecture on my part.)(see Lettow's comment) If so, then the material the belt was made of may have had a chemical that had adversely affected the bill's ink. Also check the rear of the bill. Based on the way the top horizontal fold wants to fold, you may also see some similar markings.
