The King of the Error Notes. The $20 face with a $10 back were discovered shortly after the release of this series. After an extensive investigation the Government determined there were 160 pieces printed that way and that 40 had reached circulation. This information was the first that we actually knew how many were believed to exist. Error authority, Harry Jones of Cleveland, believes that number to be low, as he handled 12 pieces at the Houston ANA. The 1974 era double denomination has been a favorite among the small size and error collectors for years. The celebrated sale of Albert Grinnell highlighted the rarity and desirability of double denominations as compared to other bank notes at that time. As I recall, many of the $20/$10 double denomination notes were discovered in and around Houston, with Don Swanson and other Houston dealers searching high and low for more examples. I you follow paper money collecting, you will find that the double denomination notes have fascinated collectors and the public since anyone was paying attention.
