I'd say that this could be a new variety, just like what occurred in the 1986 Birds $2 with the Big and Small "B"

Interesting
What would it take to become a new variety.

It would have to take several findings to prove that it is not just one particular note.

Although the picture does not show it clearly I am willing to guess that this is a result of a printing mishap. There is a characteristic imprint created in this type of mishap that may result from a broken or worn letterpress number (my guess).
I have been cataloging this type of printing condition on different polymer notes. I have not found the one with EKH but I have notes with the HB_, and plenty in the AH_ and AM_. I also have seen this happening to a "4" in some of the digits. If anyone wants to compare notes on this issue I am happy to do that offline as I have cataloged this condition by position number pairs.
This is one of the things that I was going to write about for consideration in the CPMS Journal.
I have included an image of a note with prefix AMD - Notice the short stem of M.

I have found a M/C 100 EKH 3268173 , and the K is normal. So it will be interesting to see if anyone can find notes around the EKH 3275499 # and see if the K is normal or not.
Thanks I will follow the post.

I believe that your note EKH 3275499 is at position number 45/45.
If there is any likelihood of seeing a note with similar shortening of K it would be another note with a position number of 45/45. It does not mean that the same thing cannot happen at other position numbers.
The note EKH 3268173 is most likely at position number 44/44. I believe that is the reason why you are not seeing a short K in EKH 3268173.
If this is related to a printing mishap of the letterpress number it is likely that you will see a short K in the range of EKH 3272000 to 3279999.
It would be fun to see if someone finds a similar note to check this theory.
