Welcome to the forum Oleg, I'm guessing that you mean is something that you've seen on a banknote that is not on any others of the same denomination that you've seen.

Perhaps something similar to a question raised by one of our other members, SFF.

Clicking on the green arrow will take you to that thread.

Also mentioned in that thread are some links to CCF that may be of assistance.

Thanks for posting the photo Oleg, it is definately something that has been stamped onto the note after it began circulation. There are many reasons why someone might do this. (Employee training, a validation of genuineness or something other).

[ausjack]

Yes I agree with Uni and they're put on by someone after they are put into circulation.

Often currency exchanges put stamps on notes to show they have verified them as genuine.

I'm going to assume English is not your native tongue, and that we've lost a little in translation here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The poll is somewhat meaningless in context, because if we take it as being "Has this stamp been applied during note manufacture?" then the answer is clearly NO. We do not have any overprints of this nature on our currency at all, so its not a production mark.

If we take it as meaning "Has the stamp been applied by a machine or by hand?" however, it is still somewhat meaningless, other than as a curiosity. Any unofficial overprint has equal standing, regardless of how its applied. IE: No real standing at all.

Think of it like the cancellation on a postage stamp. Whether applied by hand, machine or even just crossed out with a pen, doesn't give it any different significance (except of course for some special commemorative cancellations, but that's another matter), and none of them are part of the production process.

Does that make sense?
