Title: Changes in EWP $20 at 5.8million.
Post by: sudzee on September 16, 2005, 01:46:29 am

A few changes were made to EWP around 5.8million which included the position number font and the shape of the bars. I beleive this coincided with the switch to 45/on printing. Has anyone noticed any other changes on the note?

Don Roebuck mentioned the change in the position number numerals in his article in the March 2005 CPMS Newsletter, pages 26 - 29.  He presented arguments for the change coinciding with CBN going from a 36/on layout to 40/on, arranged 5x8.

...excellent scans sudzee. A very interesting variety that appears to have gone largely unnoticed at the time they were issued. I only know of two people that have them in UNC. ;)
