About this item: Brunei's new Dollar bill is one of 2011's most attractive banknotes. Replete with images of tropical fauna, famous architecture, and a portrait of the Bruneian monarch, these polymer banknotes were printed in commemoration of the 65th birthday of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.

These notes are intriguing for a reason besides their design, however.  In the upper left hand corner of these notes appears what, at first glance, looks like a stray green dot.  It is actually a braille number, or rather an attempt at one.  In recognition of the difficulty that blind individual face when handling identical feeling notes of different denominations, Brunei decided to include braille inscriptions on its new banknotes.

Unfortunatly for anyone hoping to distinguish the bills apart in this way, the printer neglected to raise the dots before as they were being produced.  The result: a braille inscription that online the sighted can use.  What's worse, the dot in the upper left corner of this $1 note does not actually correspond to the digit 1 in braille.  The inscriptions lacks the special symbol that would indicate that a dot is a number and note a letter, but as was noted, the mistake probably won't confuse anyone since it cannot be felt.  

Brunei's new $1 makes a fascinating oddity for numismatists: a country that let a spelling error slip by onto its currency.  This will make a great addition to any collection.

International customers welcome.
