I have been following the ``little numbers on Canadian bills'' thread, and
have found a $5 bill that does not have a number on the back (E0G6035885,
1986).  I have some with numbers, so I know where they are supposed to be. 
Careful examination by myself and others (with a 30x loupe) has shown both
that there is no such underlined-two-digit anywhere on the back, and that the
bill looks pretty good otherwise (it's not an obvious forgery).

So, does this mean that:

    1) these numbers are a new or old phenomenon,
    2) this bill is a forgery (my first, to the archives it goes),
    3) I have a genuine misprint (how much is it worth?), or
    4) there is something else we don't know about the numbers?

Yours, etc., Tony Olekshy (...!alberta!oha!tony or tony@oha.UUCP).
