Not a collectors item, it was something someone clearly made and donated to a thrift store. Maybe even an employee printed and put it in a frame, thrift stores sell all types of painted and printed pictures & picture frames. Many times people clean their houses and donate stuff to be sold at thrift stores. It's possible there was something here but it was removed before it was donated, maybe a wedding gift at some point or maybe a type of paper wallet someone made and was later donated by mistake, or maybe someone made a puzzle or something. Who knows.

The question is if there is a hidden bitcoin wallet embedded in here, probably not but there is always a small chance. Just an oddity, wanted to see what people think and if there was some known easy way to embed codes that survive print/copying. Or maybe the creator will see it. Yellow dot pattern or Machine Identification Code is one way to survive printing, there is one embedded in here but that could just be from a printer, best it could tell me is the date when this was printed. But I cannot decipher it 100%, it uses a 15x8 format but doesn't follow the only single decipher of such format at all.

This is the known eff pattern for some xeros printers, the one i found doesn't follow this format at all but it does correspond to 15x8.


The only numbers I can get out of my pattern (which I haven't posted) that can even correspond to date are 8, 12 & 16.
It cannot be August or December of 2016 because I bought it before that
So I guess it could be 2012, 2008 would be impossible.
8 & 12 are next to each other so maybe August 16th 2012.
Or it could all be wrong, not sure.
