Thierry,

Yes, it is possible that notes are printed in another country than the serial number suggests. I don't have an E/L :note-5: yet, but I have 4 such :note-20: .
By the way, Serial number L is Finland, not Denmark.

Hi,

Yes it's normal. Many of the Finnish (L) :note-5: were printed in France (E)

There is a finnish Topic that shows the common Printer/Serial combinations - I don't know if it is complete. But at least it is not uncommmon to find such notes.
