I have my original 43 year old birth certificate complete with original inked feet and hand prints in my safe. Where is his?
What you have just described is in most states just a souvenir birth certificate from the hospital where you were born. It is not the official one that establishes your birth and is what is recorded by whichever office recorded vital statistics where you were born.
P.S. I used to have an official copy of mine, until I lost it in a fire. A direct negative copy from the original. No foot prints, no hand prints, in fact just the factual information about parents, hospital and doctor appeared on it.
