AOK insert error

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I just found a few AOK inserts in a brick of AOM with out of register printing on both sides. Funny thing is, the AOM's looked like they were replaced due to also being out of register.

AOK2041366-70 read FP 55 BP 76

AOK2040366-68 read FP 55 BP 76

AOK2040369-70 read FP 57 BP 69 I guess due to out of register error!??

Some of these plate numbers are on the opposite side of where they should be.

And some of these notes have one plate number digit on each side of the note on both sides!

By the way the funny thing about this scan is that everytime I tried to scan the top 2 square inches of this note including the plate number, my computer would crash, telling me my TWAIN drivers were not working or my cable was disconnected.

I tried 12 times, and had to restart my computer each time. So I cropped the top part of this note and it scanned fine. Everthing else scanned fine in between, and I have never ever had a problem scanning anything before.

Here are scans of AOK2040370 with completely different plate numbers also on the opposite side of the note.

Wow- very nice find!!   I guess these position numbers are for the neighboring note in the sheet of course.  Wow- nice find! I haven't found squat  for inserts around here for the $5s.

Thanks Hudson, I'm quite pleased about my find. Looking at my notes, clearly the out of register error becomes more defined as each note goes by. I'm just wondering how long this error continues for, and for how long? Will there be many more inserts with a more dramatical error?

Here are some more photos to let everyones imagination run wild.

Starting with AOK2040366-70 in that order with 366 being on top.







And the back with AOK2040370-66 in that order with 370 being on top.

P.S.  I had to crop the top section of this scan, because once again for some weird reason it was crashing my computer.

How is that possible? I use photoshop 2.0, so how can scanning specific parts of a brand new note crash old software, when I have never had this problem before?

New counterfeit protection?

I really love this find of yours, Manada.

I don't know for sure but $5 Cdn banknotes also have Eurion constellation (the yellow circles) which are a security feature introduced from the beginning of the Journey notes (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation ) Perhaps it is one of these security features that your software is responding to? (they were introduced around 1996)

Watch this video for a Photoshop workaround:

Photoshop 2.0 should not crash or otherwise balk at opening currency images. I believe this technology was only introduced with Photoshop CS (which followed 7.0).

Sorry I was cleaning up my photobucket account, and mistakingly deleted these, they seem to all be back now.
