We have 12 new higher combinations since the last update and 6 of them are new shortcode-records: F015F1, J054G4, L073D3, M037G1, P028G3 and T016E5

Changes since last update are marked with red color

Please be aware that i need the following information:
New (full) Short Code
Note Value
Country Code
First 3(!) significant numbers of serial number (if you had no idea which one, take a look in the list stated below).

If you take part in this topic for the first time, please try to have the note already in your hand if you reported it here. If you only find records in your NIG-statistics (especially with old or not yet existing combinations) its a maximum likelihood that its only a typo.

T016E5 Z645

Z6xxx means , Zxx45 means TxxxE5. So could you please provide two digits more?

In my experience for belgian notes you need 3 (not 2) more digits (sometimes 4)

As for print code T016, the notes i found till now have Z6xx624 serials.
My T015 notes go up till Z6xx622.
I just haven't found a 623 so far.

Hopefully this helps

Did you already read the following comment?

Suggestions:

K005C6 note5 Ireland T*52

Most likely a , its serial then should also start with a 2.

L033H3 note5 France U**57

L022 perhaps? I'm not sure

M015D3 note5 Spain V169

Probably a .

P019F2 note10 Germany X363

P013? Not sure.

P024A3 note20 Germany X238

This would be a double mistake: a R024 . But such a mistake would be unlikely, so I'm really unsure about this one.

R039E4 note50 Germany X298

Probably a R029.

[hadibe]

K005C6 note5 Ireland T*52

Most likely a , its serial then should also start with a 2.

It could be a K002xx, too.

@ ErGo: Perhaps you should give a consolation point to him, at least 7 mistakes in 6 posted notes is a really great achievement.
