    They’re Chopmarks stamped on the notes.

    Agree, the location of each stamp is slightly different indicating they were added after the
    bill had been printed. Adds no value unless you can find someone who collects stamped bills.

    As a collector, I actually believe they devalue the note, much like notations from a pen or marker.

    Thanks, for replying!
    "Chopmarks?"
    So, these were placed there by the public? Just to prove they're not counterfeit?

    They are placed there by banks or foreign exchange currency dealers. Most are done overseas.

    Thanks, Steve, for the link that connects me to the few other nuts who care about these things. It will certainly help me learn more. I love seeing the many marks that I haven't seen before.

    I think that we have at least two major types-pictorials and characters (letters/numbers). I like the pictorials and would predict these to become more popular.
