<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1523664, member: 37925&quot;]He&#039;s not doing anything illegal with the notes themselves. They are real currency, so he is not counterfeiting. The Secret Service will not really pay any attention to this guy, but it might be worth reporting him to eBay - especially if he is trying to scam you on the return.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed the doubled serial number and figured it must be fake. There are genuine doubled 3rd printings and they are worth quite a bit. A doubled 3rd printing will have doubled serial numbers. However, the word &quot;ONE&quot; under the treasury seal is actually part of the 2nd printing. In order for that part to be doubled, the entire face of the note would have to be doubled as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the $5 on $1 printing error - you&#039;ll know that it is fake, because of how notes are printed. The genuine error is called an offset error and happens when a sheet of paper does not make it all the way into the press and causes the next few notes to become offset error notes. The sheet normally enters between an impression cylinder and a printing plate. If the paper doesn&#039;t enter all the way, the cylinder and plate make contact and the ink transfers from the printing plate to the impression cylinder on the opposite side. When the next sheet comes in, it gets the intended printing from the printing plate, and another of the same design on the other side from the impression cylinder.</p><p><br /></p><p>This means the same design must be appear on both sides. The only way I can imagine for this error to occur is on a double denomination error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
