A Star Weekly report explains stray “freak” notes misprinted with mismatched faces and backs. Treasury notes can bear a 20 on one side and a 10 on the other, yet legal value remains the face amount. Mistakes occur when sheets are printed one side at a time, and misprinted sheets are retired and pulped after accounting. Most such notes are recovered by the treasury or destroyed, with few still circulating to curious collectors.
