$1 Bill margins

Hello all.

I'd found in a book a $1 bill used as a bookmark. Taking a look to it, I'd
noticed a strange situation for me, perhaps it's usual. The margins between
the printing and the phisical borders are different in each four sides.

The difference is enough to be seen in a simple view, may be two or three
milimeters. Is it usual or should I think it's a "different" bill?

I'm asking it not because I wanna sell it with high value or think I've a
"unique", just curiosity.

Thanks to all

Fernando

Fernando,

No, it's not that unusual for a note to be slightly "off-center".
There is a little margin for error when the sheets are fed into the
press, and later cut into individual notes. BTW, since the front and
back are printed separately (assuming you're talking about a US note),
the back will probably be off by a different amount than the front.

The basic rule that I've heard is that as long as none of the design
is missing, it's not considered an error.

hope this helps,
Scott

(assuming you're talking about a US note),

Yes, I'm.

Sure it does!!!

Thanks a lot!
