Good day all. I was a member years ago and then put the collecting aside for a while. I recently came accross a new $20 where the Queen's hair does not come close enough to the Peace Tower's window as it does on all other notes I have compared it too.

I was wonderring if this would qualify as an error note and should keep it or, can I use it to buy the next round? Lol

Appreciate any feedback you may have and attach a comparison pic of the note -

The bottom note is the one I am questionning.

You can spot the shift in a lot of places.

Compare the "V" in Vingt
The large "C" in Canada
The "DOT" between Vingt/Twenty

All those markers are shifted left a tiny amount equal to the location you pointed out.

The two printing elements are on different layers. Some amount of shift or misalignment is inevitable.
