Odd $1 Note
Found an odd $1 note today in circulation. It is a 2006 Series, but
the color is different than other 2006 issues, and you can see the reverse printing from the front, and the front printing from the reverse. I thought it was "bleeding", but when you pass another note under it, you can almost read the serial numbers from the other note through the bill. Does anyone here have a clue what I have here? I have never seen anything like it. Steve |

Check the normal featuers found on a real $1 FRN: Red and Blue silk threads in the linen paper that can be seen with the eye or with a magnifying glass. No threads = fake. Real US notes use an ink that has oil and never dries. Rub it hard on a white paper and see if the ink smears. If not, it is a fake. |

It has the red & blue threads, and the ink does smear onto a sheet of white paper. |
