[QUOTE="lettow, post: 2522571, member: 6986"]Different types of inks are used for the components that make up the face of a US dollar bill. Each type will respond differently to environmental or chemical exposure. Counterfeiters who bleach notes (and I use that as a generic term as I don't know what chemicals they use) would have completed the job and not left this partially done. There were notes that were p rinsed with defective ink that faded or flaked off like this on the face but not on the back. This looks like it was probably dry cleaning or other harsh substance. Under inking on both sides is unlikely.[/QUOTE]
