[slabate]

T002C4/Z9**244 (M.D.)

[ErGo]

[LArdennais]

T002C4/Z**24 (M.D.)

The format for the new T/Z is Z9**??? - so please replace the question marks with the significant digits. Thank you!

Because I have also found today fresh new Z9 / T002 - notes, I can reply like this :

T002C4 = Z91224

And I have personnaly found other positions and serial numbers' begins (in Namur and surburbs) :

T002D4 = Z91324
T002F3 = Z92524

I have just one question for what I have NO answer actually : 35 or 40 notes per sheet for this very new combination ?


And, just also for information : Z001I5 / ZA1807 (found on April 2017 at B-4040 Herstal)

I have just one question for what I have NO answer actually : 35 or 40 notes per sheet for this very new combination ?

As long as nobody finds a Z9n7nnnnnnnc lets assume 35 notes per sheet

@ErGo: how about another update?

Good idea!

Updated on 20.07.2017

The new Europa- is now circulating more than 3 month, so lets see, which records occured.

Still some activity for printers of "old" Euros, so 5 new plates, and 2 of them are also shortcode records.
11 changes for the Europa-series, here we have 7 new records:
ES1: J102H3 and R059H1
ES2: E010H3, M008E1, P009E5, U023I2, W011H5, Y009E3 and Z020H5

Changes since last update are marked with red color.

If you find a shortcode (not serialnumber!) higher than the ones on this list, please post the following information in this thread:

• New (full) shortcode
• Value of note
• Countrycode with first 3! significant numbers of serial number (if you had no idea which one, take a look in the list stated below. A quotation mark means that the information is missing)
• Signature of the ECB president: WD, JCT, MD

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.
