Highest Short Codes (Updated on 06.01.2025)

[vermeer]

I am still watching it. Should a appear the highest is the ????H5.

[klapotec]

Is anyone interested on a highest shortcode list based on values?
Since NIG supported this feature it would be interesting but i fear that it could be to much work for updating the list?

I'd be very much interested in a value-based list - you'll only have to update it regularly, not every day, so it shouldn't be too much work

E002I6- U494 - Angelino

I hate hot weather and I think Finland is a very nice place to live, but.... it's so far away.... thousands of km.

Corrected!

It looks like Spain is good place to hunt for highest shortcodes:
4x . . . 3x . . . 2x . . . 1x

[Chrissib]

I´ve a bigger short-code:
50 € R030D4 (X305 entered in Grüneberg 09.09.2006 Stadtbahner475)

Ou yess, the second denomination to reach 3.000.000.000!!!

That would be a great idea, I'm already running a similar list for the portuguese users here.

If anyone starts that list feel free to use the portuguese list as a starting point.

Yes, OK by me. Why throw all 7 banknotes per country on 1 pile.

So:
R (Germany)
: R????? Westinghouse
: R????? Elmo
: R????? Hoppa
: R????? Diana333
: R????? Balibennie
: R????? Soepjurk
: R????? Venga

and than every shortcode.

I found a P016B5 X233

[giulcenc]

Maybe a typo? All the X233 I've ever seen are R016xx.

[ErGo]

Starting with the list from MetalAtog in the portugese forum, i made a first version for the highest short code list with an additionally list per value.
I hope i didn't make to much mistakes. It's on you to get a correct list ...

And please post only if you had a shortcode higher than in the existing list! And please check, if it could be a typo! (i for myself had on with F006 - that's impossible until now!!!)

I start now the land rush for the new list: First come, first served! After a week or so (let see how many changes will come) i will put this list on page 1.

Please be aware that i need the following information:
New (full) Short Code
Note Value
Country Code
First 3 significant numbers of serial number (if you had no idea which one, take a look in the list stated below)
