1986 Birds $5 Note - Misplaced Serial Numbers Error

In this note, during the stage of the printing process where the serial numbers are applied, the sheet must have been slightly out of position. This causes the serial numbers to be applied in the wrong spot.

Just like with the signatures on pre-1967 notes, the serial numbers can appear all over the place; upside down, on the front, at an angle, or not at all.
