<p>[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1486082, member: 37925"]I came across this $1 note the other day. As you can see, the 7's in the serial number are different sizes. I thought at first the 7 was just shifted. After closer examination, I found that they are indeed different sizes. I also thought perhaps one digit got a bit more ink than the rest, or was smeared when printed. But then why would both sets of serial numbers on this bill have the same effect?

I actually measured the pixels in the photo, and the larger 7 turns out to be 6% bigger than the one next to it. Any thoughts as to how this happened?
