Good afternoon all I was running through some dollar bills earlier and came across this one with an unusual ink mark near the center of the note on the obverse. I normally come across business stamps on notes but this isn’t the sort of thing I usually see. I tried to take a close up hoping someone could tell me what I’m seeing. As usual many thanks in advance Business stamp? by Darren Edwards posted Oct 1, 2021 at 12:10 PM Business stamp? by Darren Edwards posted Oct 1, 2021 at 12:10 PM Business stamp? by Darren Edwards posted Oct 1, 2021 at 12:10 PM
Yes. It looks like a bank teller went to stamp the paper strap holding the pack together, and some ink partially got on the note.
Could even be from whoever put the notes in a band. The paper bands sometimes get stamped with a date, lot number, etc. so Loomis or whatever could know when or where it was gathered.
Thanks for the replies all, shame that’s a boring one, I like to keep all the stamped bills I find but I also like to know where the stamp is from so looks like this ones going back to the bank lol. Thanks again
