That is quite unique, I am sure it has to be worth something. You might want to be careful scanning money, I think it is illegal.

Sweet find, plugger! Where'd you find it?

 

[Plugger]

just noticed it as i was payin for gas.

Do not think it is Illegal to scan it just print it. I do not know the value but I can bet that it is worth $20. Cool find.

I'd check it closer....Looks counterfeit

how can you tell?

 

[WheatbackDigger]

check for a security stip on the left side

 

[WheatbackDigger]

I doubt it to be counterfeit though, why go thru all that trouble and make a bill that "stands out" to the eye

 

[civilman1]

Coin's that escape the mint are worth more,why not currency....take it to a dealer and get it checked out.Nice find and HH!!

U.S.currency is printed in 3 stages.The first being the back,it is allowed to dry.Then the front,same thing.Last but not least the last printing is the serial numbers and the treasury shield that are printed in an overprint press.Yours looks like it got offset in the last printing(ie-serial numbers and tresury shield).Definitely worth more than face value.How much? Who knows? I think i'd hold on to it for a while.It's not going to lose any value,being an error note and all.BTW-it doesn't look fake to me.I can clearly see a few of the security features on your bill.The watermarks and the strip are both visible.Be wary of dealers,ask what they would sell it for if it were thiers to sell.just because they deal doesn't mean they're word is gold.Definitely DO NOT SELL TO A DEALER!!!!

I hate to say this but it looks like you found "funny money" as the olive branch in the offset bill is totally wrong for a twenty dollar bill. Compare a few more twenty dollar bills to it and you will notice a slight branch variation. I would take the proper action in reporting the bill and where you got it from.

Have it checked out to see if it is real. I must tell you though your out a $20. Sorry

Plugger, Bills are printed in three stages like digg said. Hold the bill up to a light and look for a Andrew Jackson watermark. It will be the same face looking right in a watermark if its real. Counterfeiters often bleach out a $10 bill and print over it to make a Twenty. But it will have a $10 watermark face looking left of Hamilton's.
A misprinted $20 bill just sold at Orlando auction for $25,300. I have the Jan. 8 news arcticle but don't know how to scan. I will try.

I've never looked at the paper money for errors. But now I will!

Let us know what you find out!

There are numerous paper money errors, I'm sure any bank will be able to authenticate it for you as far as being counterfeit, Keep us posted, HH Art...
