I have a Canadian $10 bill that appears to be a misprint.

It looks like a $10 in print, but all of the internal security features are of a $20 bill.

The holographic bar to the left says "20," the ghost image is that of the Queen on the $20 bill (with "20" above her left shoulder) and the dashes on the right says "CAN 20."

The quality of the bill indicates that it is not counterfeit.  There is raised print, the texture of the bill is right and the dashes on the right make a continuous bar when held to the light (I worked in the counting room of a casino, so i am familiar with detecting counterfeit).

It is a 2005 issue, printed in 2007.

If this is a misprint, what could the value be? 

see pictures below: Better quality pictures can be emailed at your request.

This would be worth hundreds of dollars depending on condition. A scan would be nice to see.

I've never heard of this type of error, I have seen a $20 and $100 on the same note in the bird series, sounds like a good one.

Does sound like a very nice note!  :D

If you do have a picture could you send me a picture as well?


Thanks

I'm trying to scan the bill, but the lowest I can get it is 1.63MB, which is way too big to upload.  Is there a way of going around this?

Wow, Nice! Looks weird to see the "20" on the $10 Note

Looks like there is two sets of raised bumps, consistent with the 10s.

I have the same misprinted note as yours;seiral number:2190162.
A local Chinese trader offered me $5000 before.
It's 100% true message.
I have witnesses too.

If I were you, I would of taken the $5000 and ran. The note is not worth that much.
Yes I do understand that there is excitement when finding something new, but it is important to keep things in perspective as well.

A good example, when the news CP24 covered a $20 printed upside down (2yrs ago) on the sheet, the finder thought he could get $100,000++ for it, in the end it was sold to a dealer, and for well under $1000. The notes that were reported from the finds were from the same sheet, range, and the serial numbers were very close to each other.

The issue here is that 2 notes are known and from different prefixes, giving the impression that there is a possibility that all the notes in-between the two ranges are also printed the same way.

Yes, Total is highbetter. He messed up something with his account and created a new one. So, Total has the BTT 2190162 note and has implied that he has a small number of other consecutive notes.

Based on previous posts by highbetter he actually has BTU 2190162 not BTT ...........
