[QUOTE="clembo, post: 289066, member: 8033"]Most people would have no idea what the error is here. Have a look and then I'll tell you. [url]http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0001-1.jpg[/url] Okay, now here's the error. The D4 on the left is correct. It is from a 1996 series note. The D4 indicates it was a Cleveland district note. The D4 on the right is from a 1999 note. The block is BD-A. Notice that the font size is different. It's too small. This only occurred in the BD-A block and only a small percentage of these had the small font. Try finding them in change as they are probably still out there although I haven't seen one in some time. Why do I bring this up? Well mostly to educate but also to point out that people will look for the MOST minor error on a coin while this one is easy to spot should you actually encounter one. This ends my lesson. Comments?[/QUOTE]
