Currency Overprinting and Processing Equipment (COPE) notes were new back in the 1970s and replaced conventional notes slowly over the years. COPE notes were printed, cut, sorted, inspected, and packed all on one machine. The older conventional notes had this done on different machines and in stages.
Both types are common, have equal value, and are not all that collectible. Yet there is enough interest that you should know how to identify them.
I will give you a minute to click on the picture above and try to tell the difference.
Well below I made it easier to notice the slight differences.
- Normal or slightly thinner letter and numbers.
- Thinner kerning or spacing.
- G is more square, A has a larger upper triangle, 6 has a larger lower circle.
- Bolder or slightly thicker letter and numbers.
- Larger kerning or spacing.
- G is more round, A has a smaller upper triangle, 6 has a smaller lower circle.

Sharp eyed viewers may notice that the conventional note has a slight Misaligned Overprint error, but nothing to add any extra value.

Possible Offset Transfer error, about $500.00 to start.
That said it needs to verified in hand as they can be worth thousands and are sometimes faked.
