"There are three basic stages of the printing process. Errors can and do occur at any of the three stages listed below:
- First Print — This covers the back of the note.
- Second Print — This covers the front of the note; includes the portrait and border.
- Overprint - This may include both treasury and district seal and the serial numbers.
A misalignment error occurs when the full sheet of paper money gets out of alignment during the printing process. Most often one side of the note will be misaligned while the other side will have normal centering. In order to qualify for a misalignment error the “other” note needs to be visible or part of a print hits another part of a separate print. For example, the overprint overlaps onto the design of the second print."
