OSD (Optical Security Device) Errors

Click on any of the thumbnails below for enlarged images.


Here is an OSD which has been dramatically misplaced.  More to see by clicking on the thumbnail.


Here is an OSD which seems to be not the proper one but perhaps the waste film between the proper one.  You can see it better in the larger image.


Here is a missing OSD.  A word of caution, these can be created by altering regular notes.


Misaligned OSD's are fairly uncommon.  This one being interesting because of the lower section is from the note below.


Here is a bizarre one, not sure what happened here.  Have a closer look and you can see that the 100 is in gold and the OSD square is not.  Almost like the adhesive was applied opposite to the way it should be.
