I would man up and make the changes.
Can you do them yourself? Will the correction cost the agency money?

^ yeah..... take advice from a guy who can't be bothered to read a 1-page thread.

It will bother you for not coming clean, which you can live with. If you you do come clean, it will bother a lot of other people instead of just one, and could hurt your reputation.

I don't think anyone would notice unless they saw two posters next to each other, on with the Capitalized word, and the other without. The chances of this happening in public are probably very low, right?
Definitely mention it, but do it like you're laughing at yourself, if that makes sense. Play it off like you just noticed the mistake and how you can't believe you approved an error so hilariously small, just like you're doing here. No biggie.

True story: The law firm marketing department I once worked in put out some ads for a campaign around "The right fit" which was a tagline we were using. One had a giant doberman positioned next to a tiny chihuahua. The gist of the ad was "the right fit / which dog is best for you" something like that.
Went to press, got printed, put in a magazine. None of us seemed to ever notice - until I did when looking at the printed version - that the doberman was a male dog and still had it's huge ballsack and hot dog sized penis, and they were right there in your face in the ad. My marketing director's jaw was on the floor that we approved that imagery. It just had this really horrible juxtaposition of big-dog-dick and sack and tiny chihuahua next to it. She wasn't pleased, and I could not stop laughing.

This isn't worth having a thread about. Maybe if you caught it on launch day, or realized it was your fault (sorta) after someone else pointed it out or complained... but no, let it go and move on.
But make a note of it in case those posters need to be re-issued, and make the correction then.

The thing that pisses me off is that it went through at least 10 different people, everyone saw it but it seems no one caught the error,
I talked with my copy who told me to pretend I never seen it,
so I believe that is what I will do,
this will haunt me for the next few month
(mother of all first world problem)- he will use it against you later. bad move. copies want to be originals. now you have either come clean before he uses it********
- against you or just kill him and live with those two "issues" in your life forever********
