<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1310678, member: 19065&quot;]You can often find currency that has small stamps on them that have been through someone&#039;s hands and marked for various reasons. This one may just be playing around or perhaps someone with some affiliation to that symbol had a reason for marking the bill or many bills that they handled. The stamps I have seen are pretty hard to figure out what the characters or marks are for, language they originate from or whatever the source/reasoning maybe for it getting put there. Hold onto the note if you like, maybe you will start to notice more special markings people put on notes and create a sub-collection of stamped notes. They do present an interesting mystery to ponder. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some <a href="http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?/topic/8551-a-study-in-modern-chop-marks/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?/topic/8551-a-study-in-modern-chop-marks/" rel="nofollow">other examples</a>* referring to them as &#039;modern chop marks&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="1">*The thread is dated 2006 with comments by CT members, not sure what this site is, a mirror site of CT&#039;s old threads???</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
