I have a $20 Canadian Bill printed in 2008.  I think it is rather unique and may be worth something.  Serial nmbr ERD4641433.  I have checked to see potentially if it is counterfeit, but, it passed police inspection and the ultraviolet scanner.  Here's the thing.  The front of the bill is normal except where the queen's face should be.  It is totally white.  No detail of her face at all.  The back of the bill is normal.  I figure a printing error of some sort.  What do you think?   Could it be worth something if it is the only one around?

If the note has not been tampered with..the note may be definitely worth something...
It would be great to see a picture of it if you can post front and back images
If you have a Charltons Government Paper Money Catalogue you can check towards the back of the catalogue to see if your note looks like any of the errors in it...possibly a ghost.
A nice find...looking forward to see the pictures

I have been trying to post a picture of my wierd$20 to my old message, but, without luck.  Anyone who knows what this might be worth, i would love the feedback.

  • Errors are the best as there are only 1 of a kind

   Hi Morgan, If indeed you do have a "ghost" Error your note could be worth in excess of 500.00, depending on its condition and grade :o. We would all love to see a scan or picture of the Error side if you have access to a copier or better a digital camera.
