Oh yes, this is most probably the correct thread to ask my question: I recently ran across a Finnish 5€ note that looked remarkably different in UV light. While all the other normal notes looked greenish, this one was really bright blue. It looks just like any other regular 5€ note when viewed in daylight, though. Initially I thought that maybe it has been accidentally washed or something, but the note would have been in a worse condition if it had been in a washing machine.

I suppose it was a printing error of some kind. I wonder if it has any value beyond the nominal 5€ or can I just put it back to circulation? I still have it stored at home, in case it turns out to be valuable.

Maybe you should ask about the value in some numismatic(?) site? Does anybody know any good ones?
