Hi everybody,
Yes, I came across this $1 bill with very strange Ink spots, splashes, drips and globs!
Can this be from the actual printing machine? Is this real ink from the BEP?
:* thank you guys!

    Now, I know you're focusing on the "blue appearance" splotches
    but notice the thick glob! With the dot of blue in the center, than the very similar "green-like"
    surrounding it?

    Most of the other ink spots, do have that true greenish currency
    ink appearance? The blue? I don't know what that could be?
    Maybe, a color to mix with the green?
    :*
    Thanks 😉

    No, as Steve said, it definitely isn't the same ink as used to print the note.

    My guess is blue paint, not ink. Improvised tool used in a paint touch up. Note the unusual diagonal fold.

    It's good you used the forum to check it out. Too bad it didn't work out.
    I think it's nail polish.

    Going to assume, due to the condition, these notes were wadded up on a table in the dressing room of a gentleman's club and got some nail polish on them.
