Mismarked resistors?

Look at the tiny bunny...
When making the parts list for my Martel reciever, I needed some resistors. The colors bands on the old units indicated2.2k Ohms (red red red). I ordered some replacements from Mouser. The bag indicates 2.2k Ohms. Speer metel film resistors.

The new resistors themselves measure 2.176 K Ohms. However, they are marked as 22ohms (red red black).

Is this a common thing? That's a pretty serious mis-marking, or it seems so to me.

You probably bought higher precision resistors, which are marked with three significant digits and a multiplier (as opposed to two significant digits and a multiplier). Are the bands, red-red-black-brown? This would be 2.2k.
