Joh. Enschedé stops the production of Euro notes. There are too many companies and national banks thay produce banknotes for dump prices, so they have announced to stop.

Thats sad, so after :flag-de: "X" we'll also lose the traditional :flag-nl: "P" on the €-notes :(

...and wasn't there rumours that :flag-be: "Z" will stopp the banknote-production, too?

There weren't just rumors :( .
It's a fact that the Belgians will stop printing notes by 2020 as far as I am informed. But that was what we were told when visiting the NBB/BNB museum during the S-EBTM 2015 in Brussels.

What a crazy world we live in. It isn't even worth the effort to print money. Who would have thought.

I didn't know the Bundesdruckerei also was going to stop. Did they stop yet?

I was surprised by the way that I still get P/P :note-50: 2017 from the ATM. I didn't expect them anymore.

About the Belgium printer, they started this year with :note-200: right?

Anymore rumours about printers that will stop?

What? I thought Giesecke & Devrient were quitting, not Bundesdruckerei...

It is not, as ludofaki says, the Bundesdruckerei because they have the letter R.
It is G&D Munich which will stop to produce notes. However, G&D Leipzig (W) will continue to print notes.

Yup, you're right GWR, sorry for the misunderstanding.
