These errors are caused when one sheet of currency paper gets folded before it goes through the intaglio press.

And when the next sheet comes along, that extra ink gets transferred to the wrong side of that sheet, forming a backward image of part of the note design. Not sure what you're looking at here--the black ink on the back of the $20 clearly shows TWENTY DOLL... in reverse. As for genuineness, nobody can definitively authenticate the notes just from these photos, but I don't see any obvious red flags.[/QUOTE]
