Is this $2 bill fake?

bsshog40

I have about 3 dz $2 bills and I was looking thru them this evening. I have one that is a little strange. I've never seen one that started with 3 letters for the serial number and not a letter on the end. Also, the back is a different color from all the others I have. Has anyone seen one like this before? It has some chinese stamps on it also. Fake?? I have it pictured here with a normal $2 bill.

Yes that is a fake $2 with Chinese characters on it. I have a stack of $100 and $50 w/ Chinese characters on it. Supposedly they were use by Chinese banks for training their tellers and they started selling them for movie props as well.

It’s got three prefix letters and no suffix letter. Our paper money has never used that configuration. Never.

Ya, I posted this in the coin forum also. A lot of great info came up.

Actually it appears to be a real note where the Serial Numbers were erased or eradicated somehow.
Fully manipulated but a real BEP printing...at one time before alteration

As stated earlier, these are not real notes, they are bank training notes.
