Title: I see red I see red I see red

This one caught my eye.

Early musical interlude ....... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKj4upY1VYI)

Can you spot the difference between the top and bottom notes?

Top note:

Bottom note:

The circles on the bottom note are fully red as opposed to the stripes on the normal note. (The first note is pretty ordinary but it's the same year as the second - 2006).

Excuse my crappy scanner .... on it's last legs I think.

I'm not a note collector so could you explain how significant that is and how rare it is.
Also why has the first note got a blacker woman (especially the hair to the left of her glasses)

I'm not seeing what you are seeing, I could just be having a moment though lol.. What I do see though is the centre of all those circles, see how the ship lines are in a different part of the circle compared to the other? Not sure if this is common, first time I've looked really.

If you look at the circled section on the left hand side of the note every second ring is solid red on the top note, whereas all rings are solid red on the bottom note.

It's easier to see in hand that the scans. (Might have to take some photos). Grab a $20 and have a look at the circled section on the left hand side of the note (ie: red, pink, red, pink etc). Compare that to the circled section on the right hand side (all red).

The bottom note has solid red in both left and right sections.

Not sure of how common Nealeffendi, it's the first one I've seen. Had a search here and on CCF and couldn't see any mentions.

The difference is the top note has a coarser screen than the bottom note.
If you look at the black lines of the ships ropes & sails you will see that the black lines on the top note, the lines are screened,
 & the bottom note the lines are solid, the screen behind them have been removed .

Both screens have been changed, or removed, new plates made.
then gone back to the original red screen, but not the screen for the black.
I only have 07 & 08 notes so mine are solid black lines with coarse screen as per your top note.
Is that as clear as mud?

Thanks Interest, I will try and get my head around that.

Quote from: 'interest' pid='42047' dateline='1392645822'If you look at the black lines of the ships ropes & sails.

More obvious in the distortion in the ship's planks???
