In that year, this version of the banknote contained an error where the character\"Bei\"(bèi) was printed as an\"open-mouth\"character. This directly led to a surge in its price. It is important to note that the process of issuing banknotes is extremely complex and rigorous, making it very rare for misprinted banknotes to occur. Due to its scarcity, it naturally became highly sought after. In fact, after the misprint was discovered, the official authorities continuously recalled the Macau 20 Patacas (BNU). Currently, very few 1999 versions of the Macau 20 Patacas (BNU) circulate on the market.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eTo provide collectors with a more precise understanding of this historically
