Hi,
During one of my bank pick ups, I discovered this 1954 $2 note that is slightly larger than a regular note.
Is it considered within the tolerances of banknote printing? It looks like the note has wallet trauma because it is slightly too wide.

I have overlaid a worn but standard sized 1954 note on top of the oversized note to see the size difference of the paper on the oversized note.

Thoughts?

Dean

I would say it's fine.  Even if it would be considered abnormal, the condition reduces it back down to just being mildly curious. Of course, just my opinion for what it's worth.
