Title: last digit darker
Post by: moneycow on December 31, 2006, 03:17:53 pm: Has anyone else noticed the new 5s being printed with the last digit a little darker. I assume it's common but not sure why. I picked up a small stack of AOJ recently and many of the last digits (left side serial number only) looked thicker (darker).

Thanks
Craig

It is Interesting but does not add to any additional premium. ::)

I have also notice some slight varitations of the placement of the last digit on the left serial on the new $5 Notes. It seems to bounce around a little during printing. It might be a slightly loose number????
