<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mountain Man, post: 4650763, member: 94733&quot;]Ran across this article <b>Paper Money Errors: The Offset Printing </b></p><p><b>By Benjamin C. Simpson, YN</b></p><p>&quot;Offset printings are roughly analogous to clashed dies for coins. When the impression cylinder is mistakenly rolled over a wet printing plate without a sheet of notes intervening, the ink design on the plate is transferred to the impression cylinder itself. This blunder causes the subsequent sheets of notes to be printed with its usual design on one face (transferred from the plate) and a mirror image of that design on the other face (erroneously transferred from the impression cylinder). A reflection has been produced on the opposite side of the note. On all small-size U.S. currency, there are multiple printing stages. Offset errors most commonly occur in the first printing, when most major design elements are produced.&quot;</p><p>I think this is a more succinct explanation of what happens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
