    bleached or some other solvent removed the red...someone trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting buyer

    How can the red be altered without affecting the rest of the note...? So its definitely just something that's been tampered with?

    Red ink is the least chemically stable ink the BEP used.

    And these sometimes occurred (along with other exciting color changes) by just going thru the laundry where bleach was added.

    I believe the chemical used is acetone,
