Coworker brought this note in today. Altered or real? I’m a coin guy.

My first thought is that this is altered. The reverse is very even colored.
Any help with what this is? Thank you.

    Me thinks it was dipped in a solvent and nuked in a microwave. IMO. Peace Roy

    Yup, bleached, or otherwise chemically altered. But probably chemically, not sun altered. Sun will tend to fade the color ink. Since yellow and blue make green, it could be a solvent that removed the blue component of the green back, leaving it yellow.

    Red seal $2 notes are sometimes seen with red seals altered to yellow and sold as errors, which they are not.

    It also removed a bit of both the green and black ink on the face of this one-also a sign of alteration.

    Could have been in clothing that went through the dry cleaning process - I remember my dad finding some similar dollar bills in a jacket he had dry cleaned.
