What's your rarest note?

[Fjon]

Which one of your notes has the least number of similar notes?
Have a look at the Tables section in Statistics on EBT to see how many of each note exist . There are the note NCB/ printer combinations in my list which have the fewest entries:

M/20/H - 84

V/50/P - 509

U/200/T - 579

[androl]

M/20/H - 84

are you sure that's not a mistake, is it a new note? could you PM me the serial number and code?

M/100/P (553)
S/200/J (630)
N/200/G (835)
Y/5/N (1162)

V/10/G, there are 28 other notes with this combination.

Can anybody tell me whether it is a typing error?

Edit: I guess it is real, just saw that bhoeyb entered two of these notes already, with this comment e.g: FG, my 2nd very special G-printed V-note

They really exist, these are G005/V014-015-016 bills. At this forum there was
somebody (BossonHH) who asked €100 for such a bill!

Wow, too bad I didn´t keep it!
(mine is indeed G005/V014)

Indeed, this is my most special banknote. Too bad I've spent the first one I had . I still have the 2nd .

[Ernst]

This is really bad luck! Normally I do follow what is going on in the German forum, but the discussion of the V-G notes started on August 13th, and on that day I was sitting in my car driving to France and at a petrol station in Belgium I received the V-G note! Unaware that it is so special I spent it...

Today I got myself one of those notes! There are now 65 in the database, so this is now my rarest note!

[Sneakster]

What a coincidence: I happened to log a similar note just a week ago, serial starting with V014xxx as well, shortcode:G005H6. Too bad the note wasn't mine, the owner of the snookerhall owned it...guess it's in the bank by now

[lmviterbo]

M/20/M - 64 (a mistake?)
L/100/U - 122

[helloggs]

X/10/F - 257
N/20/P - 95
N/5/P - 701

[androl]

M/20/M - 64 (a mistake?)
L/100/U - 122

X/10/F - 257
N/20/P - 95
N/5/P - 701

I think they are all mistakes. If you send me the numbers, I could tell you.

[lmviterbo]

I find it really odd that 701 similar mistakes (N/5/P) might have ben made. I can imagine 1 in 500 notes to be misregistered on the first letter either of the shortcode or the serial number. I don't buy a figure much bigger than 1/500. That would mean 14 thousand misregistered letter combinations (out of 7 million in total). There are about 700 letter combinations which are probably errors, because their figures are really small on the table. That would mean an average of 20 errors per letter combination. So, 701 seems to be too off-scale, too far from standard deviation (which I haven't calculated, though).

@androl, you claim to be able to know if a shortcode / serial number combination is correct or possible, as I've heard of some other fellow ebtists. I wonder how you do it (do not take this as a challenge, just an interested question): do you rely "just" on your 25000 note corpus, have you got access to a bigger sample, or have you devised some formula(e)?

[Licht & Feuer]

The rarest combinations I ever had are

T/20/H - 6841
Y/5/P - 8305
M/50/H - 13831
P/50/H - 26712
U/20/E - 32223

Maybe not the ultrarare busters but living in a very small town, I'm happy about my very first note from Chantepie (E) I got a few days ago...

X/10/F - 257
N/20/P - 95
N/5/P - 701

I think they are all mistakes. If you send me the numbers, I could tell you.

Now that I got rid of these notes, my rarest one is U/200/T = 888 notes in the database. (Come on, tell me that this is also a mistake...I don't mind
