Serial number structures
If you know serial number structures of different printers, you can add them to this thread.
I will start:

x (check number)
Location on the sheet:
5-10€

Re: Serial number structures
An interesting scheme with Europa P bills:
P008E5:
PB896704523 (not valid numbers)
PB896704524
PB896704525
Then:
P008E4:
PB888704526
PB888704527...
The last numbers keep ascending, but the first three numbers descend instead.

Re: Serial number structures
Hi, Salieri
These "schemes", as experts call them, have been studied for years, and most of them are already well defined (but not all!)
The Italian EBTor giulcenc has published links to PDFs with all tables in the Italian forum, here.
These are also discussed in a German forum (on the site banknotesworld.com). There are very few Euro banknote scheme researchers. If you keep the interest, welcome to the club!

Re: Serial number structures
giulcenc hasn't updated the PDFs for a while. 2002 series were last updated in December 2017 and Europa series were last updated in November 2019.

Re: Serial number structures
As to the 2002 series, the researchers know very little beyond what giulcenc published, as far as I know (and I boldly believe I know a lot ).
As to the Europa series, I'm sure he'll update the schemes with every new Draghi as soon as he has some more Lagardes.
If you already knew about giulcenc's tables and I sounded condescending to you, sorry, it was unintentional. I browsed your posts and it seemed that you were talking about schemes that are already known. I'll check your posts again.
EDIT: Well, I just checked them and I was right, those schemes aren't new. By the way, the P008 is better explained with giulcenc's tables.

Re: Serial number structures
Just a kind reminder that the focus of EuroBillTracker is to track banknotes, not figuring out the exact rules how the serial numbers are constructed. Unfortunately there are people who could use such information for purposes which are counter to our goals.
Money makes the world go round. We track how the money goes round the world.
Re: Serial number structures
The 6-digit vertical number on Europa banknotes repeats the last digits of the horizontal serial number. Why are there 6 numbers in particular? Why not a full number?

Re: Serial number structures
At least both serialnumbers are valid.

Re: Serial number structures
Thank you
How do you know?
Do you know any formula to check the 2° Series "Europa"
With 2 letters?
Best regards,
Eddy

Re: Serial number structures
If we replace the first two letters by their place in the alphabet (A=1, ....Z=26) the check digit is 7!
For example SE1111111111 = 19+5+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 34 i.e. 3+4 = 7!
VA2222222222= 22+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 43, or 4+3 = 7!
For example SE1111111111 = 19+5+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 34 i.e. 3+4 = 7!
VA2222222222= 22+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 43, or 4+3 = 7!

Re: Serial number structures
Sorry for the typos:
SE1111111111 = 19+5+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 34 etc etc
VA2222222222 = 22+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 43 etc etc
SE1111111111 = 19+5+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 34 etc etc
VA2222222222 = 22+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 43 etc etc
