    847.... hmm... that looks like northern Illinois. Maybe Lake County. I think I'll start canvassing banks to find this bill. I think there's less than 3,000 banks in that area???????

    Ill try and buy the bill off of the girl thats holding it. If you look at the 20 below it has a black seal on the left side. The bill in question has a dark blue seal. You can clearly see a difference, but as of now i dont have the bill, and have no clue as to what it is.

    Ask her if you can "take it out on loan" for $20 with a promise of returning it.
    We sure can't tell without seeing it.

    it could be an under inking of the seal giving the appearance of a darkish blue?!

    good luck on getting it from the bank! i am certainly looking forward to seeing it :)

    The BEP usesd high speed rotary presses for currency printing, it just maybe that the periodical cleaning of ink buildup may have been diluted due to the solvent cleaner. This is just a guess, however, that would make sense as diluted blacks do have a blue tint.
    None the less, with all the notes printed and such a high SN#..I would think this would be the case and not an inking color error. Again..I may be wrong, but this is my two bucks worth!
