Will we get F and G notes until the end of 2009?

[androl]

Malta and Cyprus have to produce euro banknotes this year, with their serial number prefix letters F and G
now we have September and still no notes from Malta and Cyprus in circulation
what do you think? Will we get them until 31th Dec. 2009?

I think we will have to wait untill 2010... Let's see what does actually hapend!

Btw: is it already known which values? ?

As far as I know, yes. And I also do not think that we'll see bills with these serial numbers.
If I remember correctly, Dutch printer John Enschede has won the tender to print the bills
and it seems to me that the G005/P, G006/P, G007/P and G008/P bills (at least the latter ones)
are the bills that should have been the Maltese and Cypriot ones.

G005/P, G006/P, G007/P and G008/P bills (at least the latter ones)

Not the G005 & G006, that are 2008's production. They also have the G/L. So it should be G007 & G008 or, who knows even higher.

But banknotes are assigned according to population, so let's make a quick calculation:
I am now assuming G prints for these countries: NL, LU, MT, CY, SI.
Of these, NL also print this year, so lets assume a 50/50 distribution.
Populations (rounded):
NL: 16,5 million -> 8,3 million
LU: 0,5 million
MT: 0,4 million
CY: 0,8 million
SI: 2 million
~total: 12 million

So we will have 8,8 milliion/12 million G/P = 73,3% G/P
0,4/12 = 3,3% G/F (Malta)
0,8/12 = 6,7% G/G (Cyprus)
2/12 = 16,7% G/H (Slovenia)

This is less G/P than I initially expected to see, so I think we should have seen them by now. But on the other hand, I now remember that there should be about 500 million notes printed by G this year, which will likely be more than just the two plate numbers seen until now, so it's still possible.

However, this post is using lots of information I can't find at the moment, so the conclusion is possibly wrong.

I hope it won't be like the R notes ( )

I'm as eager to see them as you guys, but there are no sign of the G/F notes here. It's been a long time since I have seen unciruclated notes.

i do not think they care what they print on the note as long as they get payd for it , they wont get blaimd if they send A to B or C to D ( or they can always print E and send it to A , B , C and D)

The bank of Cyprus approved the printing of with the letter "G" yesterday by email

[fcbruges]

Could you give us more information about this? Do you know how much notes they had to print for 2009?

I expect to see the first G(probably 009)/H notes very soon.

G/F should now be here as well.

Any guesses if the G009 plate will print "normal" Dutch notes as well? I don't think so.

I hope so!
