This stock photo upsets me. It’s not AI because AI would be wrong and terrible in excitingly DIFFERENT ways.
American currency is simply not printed that way.
The serial numbers are applied in a separate pass, after printing is completed. And they won’t all be the same.
The notes are printed in sheets with a flat plate, not a newspaper-style continuous roll.
Come on. Thry literally do public tours where you can see the process. It’s free. Send someone down with a Nikon if you have to. There’s no reason to be this wrong on something this trivial.
However, you can buy full sheets of currency (edit: from the bureau of printing and engraving) that are for novelty purposes and the way they get around it is all of the serial numbers are the same. So they do actually print full sheets where all the serial numbers are the same. The only reason I know that is my grandfather had one.
Supposedly the reason was if you happen to cut it yourself you “could only use one of them”.

The numbers are different but in obvious reserved ranges so people can’t cut them apart and sell them as a premium as a cutting error.
I have such a sheet on my wall.
