At the beginning of the first production video there seems to be a funny editing mistake. The topic is "Feeding of paper into printing machine", and at first we see sheets of 8*5 notes to be printed on each sheet. But after that we see a long uncut line of the same paper rolling forwards. The second scene should be the first one, since obviously the long line is rolling towards a cutting machine, which produces the 8*5 sheets seen in the first scene.

Well done. I hadn't seen those yet. Latvia, for its part, has presented some EA notes.

So now the list of known printer codes is as follows:

E/E (EA)
M/M (M002; probably MD)
P/P (PB)
S/S (SA-SE)
U/U (probably UA-UE; UD is certain)

Updated list of known printer codes:

E/E (EA)
M/M (M002 / probably MD)
P/P (PB)
S/S (SA-SE)

The Belgian National Bank will also produce them, even though we don't have any photo evidence so far…

The ever-watchful Montgomery Burns has reminded on the Portuguese forum that these Belgian Z/Z might be the last notes printed at NBB's Printing Works.

This was discussed on the French forum almost four years ago. Belgium hadn't printed any denominations other than :note-50: since Trichet stepped in in 2003, so these were the only T/Z notes with signatures other than Duisenberg.

In spite of that, since the beginning of the Europa series something might have changed because there are Z/Z for every denomination so far. So I wonder if the 2020 deadline to close NBB's Printing Works has been reverted. Anyway, until 2020 there's still time for NBB to print all other Europa denominations, if that's on their plans and the ECB chooses them do do it.


Updated list of known printer codes:

E/E (EA)
M/M (MD)
P/P (PB)
S/S (SA-SE)
U/U (probably UA-UE; UD is certain)
V/V (VA)
W/W (WA)
Z/Z (ZB)

+BBBB+, great find (I actually couldn't find anything like that, even after you posted that picture). In the future, though, please don't post pictures like that on the forum — I mean pictures with whole serial numbers. Although that serial number was already added to EBT's database of public serial numbers (along with 164 other :flag-eu: :note-50: at the time I'm writing this), we should refrain from feeding the trolls, rogue users, fakers and smartasses.


EDIT 2016-11-02: MD confirmed.
EDIT 2017-03-29: WA confirmed.
