2.7) I found a US Federal Reserve Note with the little numbers in the wrong place. Is it counterfeit?
It's probably a web press note. The BEP has been experimenting with new web presses beginning with the 1988 series notes. These presses use a continuous roll of paper, rather than the individual sheets used for the regular presses. They also use a 96-subject plate, rather than the 32-subject plate, so the plate position indicators, at upper left on the face of the note are eliminated. The plate check numbers at lower right on the face and back, usually a letter and up to four digit number, have been replaced by a one or two-digit number. (On the regular notes FW in front of the PC number indicates that the notes were printed at Fort Worth, Texas, rather than at Washington, DC.) On the web notes the back PC number has been moved to the upper right.
