An interesting 90c value with inverted hologram and 90c hologram with the $2 hologram attachment
to the paper substrate, resulting in this $2 inverted hologram error. Printed by USA printer "Xtreme
Graphics" using Lenticular and Silkscreen processes. The technology behind the action stamps - the
effect of movement - is created through a special process called Lenticular. It is achieved by two or
more images being printed together or 'interlaced' into each other - more images combined result in
more sequences produced. Innovative use of hologram images resulted in printer's optical confusion,
to their embarrassment.
