<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 442128, member: 4626&quot;]Came across this oddity shopping the coin shop for world notes...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.banknotebank.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=922015" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknotebank.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=922015" rel="nofollow">http://www.banknotebank.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=922015</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It appears to be a 1 sucre note from Ecuador, dated 1920... oddly though it has no signatures or serial number (it has the titles &quot;Gerente&quot; and &quot;Presidente del Directorio&quot; but no signatures next to them).</p><p><br /></p><p>Am wondering if this is a replica or counterfeit, or an error where the printing of the signatures and serials were omitted... the watermarks are present (the numeral &quot;1&quot; in the top left and top right corners, &quot;Banco Sur America&quot; on the bottom), so if it&#039;s a replica or counterfeit someone went to a lot of effort to make it (and one wonders if so, why the serials and signatures were left off).</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?&nbsp; Error, counterfeit, replica, or was it just meant to look this way?&nbsp; (Perhaps the ink faded... but it looks like nothing was ever there, and it&#039;s in crisp uncirculated condition.)&nbsp; Or some other situation I haven&#039;t thought of?</p><p><br /></p><p>This only cost me a dollar so if it&#039;s a fake I&#039;m not out much anyway, and it&#039;s still an interesting piece (love the condor on front and Columbus&#039;s ships on the back!), but I&#039;m curious as to just what I have here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any input welcome on this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
