I've come across those before.

Also it could be Japanese for all I know.

EDIT: I looked up the symbol for "100" in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean and it is not that. Maybe its the symbol for a particular bank or financial institution?

A person marking their bills? I get them all the time. I've seen several different kinds. I want to get my own stamp. Not that I have anyhting to stamp, hehe....

thats my FRN.....I must have misplaced it. Please PM me for an address to return it to.

No idea. I have had 1-2 of them just like it pass through my hands. It's a shame they always pass and never stay for to long.

The symbol means 'property of the PRC'.

I know, right? Maybe others can scan notes when they find them as well and we'll get to the bottom of it!

Ever see an old (silver) trade dollar with chop marks? Same thing here.

Certain Chinese merchants or those in the Far East that handle large sums of US currency affix their stamp to the back of the bills for verification purposes. These verifiers certify by their mark that the bill isn't counterfeit. If the bill comes back to them, they already know it's good.

For example, if I see a $100 with a known mark on the back, I can be assured it's real. It's always made me wonder, though, if there are those who use bogus reverse stamps just to throw others off.

On some $100 bills you can see several different marks. I always thought an interesting idea would be to take pix of these marks and see how many different there were. Maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, I guess. Problem is, I never have enough $100 bills to make picture taking worthwhile. Maybe I'll start a new trend of affixing my mark to $ones and $fives.

I will PM and ask member shinnosuke I think he said he reads Japanese.

Got the message, henry.

I couldn't read it so I showed it to my wife and she could only confirm that it's Chinese. We are not sure what the meaning is. Japanese kanji are almost all adopted from Chinese, but there are still many others that aren't used in Japan.

My guess is that it is a Chinese surname.

It is close to the Japanese characters of:
英　meaning "distinguished", and
束　meaning "to tie up"

My guess is it's Chinese for:
