ODD ONE OUT

RICHMOND, Va. - up Mrs.
Shelley Tvester at the Southern
Bank and Trust Company riffled
through a pile of one dollar bills
and turned one around. Then she
went through again and turned
one around. On third try she
still found one out of order. She
tried twice more and the same thing
happened.
The bill seemed perfectly ncr-
NAL. except that if you turned the
stack over there was always one
upside down.
Clifton Y. Green of the Federal
Reserve Bank said in 80 years he
had seen only a few such bills. The
Federal Bureau of Printing and En-
craving had reversed a sheet.
Green said the bill was 5Sorth a
dollar-in fact, some collectors pay
more.
Mrs. Ivestor became a collector
herself, substituting one Of her own
bills for the odd one.
