<p>[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 924605, member: 11668"]The backs and faces of the notes aren't printed by the same press--they're printed in separate operations several days apart, so that the back has time to dry thoroughly before the face is printed. So to get an error like this, you just have to have a half-finished $10 sheet accidentally end up in a pile of half-finished $20 sheets. Maybe somebody picked up a sheet to inspect it and then mistakenly returned it to the wrong stack....</p><p> </p><p>(Much later, in the 1990s, the web-press $1's were an experiment with printing both sides of the notes at the same time. It didn't work so well.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
