<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 1024258, member: 27100&quot;]Part of the problem (with non scanning of newer notes) is the presence of the <i>Eurion Constellation</i> markings. See the article below:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurion" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurion" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurion</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>(Referenced by krispy&#039;s post above)</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Basically, it&#039;s a shape comprising of 5 rings (looking similar to the constellation <i>Orion</i>, hence its name!). Modern scanners and printers are programmed to reject scanning/printing items with this pattern. You can see it on modern US notes in the form of little yellow circles making up the pattern. On the $20, for example, the circles are, in fact, the zero in &quot;20&quot; (the above page shows an example highlighted).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To test, take either a $1 (doesn&#039;t contain this device) or an older (pre 2000) bill of another denomination and see if that scans.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hope that helps ...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
