    A TYPO OF PRESIDENTIAL PROPORTIONS

    Steven Bellin and Roger deWardt Lane sent an article
    with details on the Philippine bank note error:

    "A press statement issued by the Bangko Sentral ng
    Pilipinas Sunday advised the public it had received
    "a batch of P100 banknotes bearing the misspelled
    surname of the President, a small number of which
    had been released."

    The central bank said it has apologized to the
    President for the mistake.

    The statement did not say was the typographical
    error was but The Times learned from a central bank
    insider that Arroyo appears as "Arrovo" in the bill.
    The source also said a few thousand bills had been
    printed before the mistake was spotted.

    The central bank gave the assurance that the
    misprinted banknotes are "considered legal tender
    and should be accepted as genuine currency."

    I also asked if anyone was able to view the associated
    News video. Roger adds: "Try this link. It plays with
    Microsoft Windows Player: video link "

    Finally, I asked if anyone could point us to an image
    of the note. David Klinger writes: "This URL is from
    an eBay listing. There are many of these available there.
    They are selling at about $15 right now.
