We’re unsure if this is an error note or an intentional new type. On B317 (bottom image), the diamonds appear to be printed as part of the rest of the design, so it\u2019s not as if the underprinting or an overprinting was omitted by mistake.

Does anyone else have examples of this note to report?<\/p>\n
