Description: Clean and desirable Mule note from 1928 with red seal. Affordable. In the context of U.S. legal tender banknotes, a "mule" refers to a note that features mismatched elements from different series or designs. Mule banknotes result from an error during the printing process, where the wrong printing plates are used, combining elements that were not originally intended to appear together. Mules are relatively rare and are often of interest to collectors.Here are some key points about mule U.S. legal tender banknotes: Mismatched Elements: A mule occurs when the obverse (front) and reverse (back) sides of a banknote feature elements from different series or designs. This can include a mismatch of portraits, vignettes, or other graphic elements. Printing Error: Mule banknotes are the result of a printing error at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). The wrong printing plates are used during the production process, leading to a hybrid note with elements from different sources. Collector Interest: Mules are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and the uniqueness of the error. Collectors often appreciate the unusual combinations of designs that occur on mule banknotes. Denominations: Mule errors can occur on banknotes of various denominations, including $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills. Series and Types: Mule errors can occur in different series and types of U.S. currency. For example, they may involve Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs), Silver Certificates, or other types of legal tender notes. Detection: Mules can be identified by carefully examining the elements on both sides of the banknote. If there is a mismatch of designs or portraits that are not typically paired together, it may be a mule. Market Value: The value of mule banknotes can vary depending on factors such as the specific error, the rarity of the combination, and the overall condition of the note. Some mules can command a premium among collectors. Legal Tender: Despite the printing error, mule banknotes remain legal tender and can be used in transactions like any other U.S. currency.
