, but I must admit that I often forget to check the signature. 
I've never checked it but I will do now. I have a few brand new banknotes this moment ...peter_at wrote:but I must admit that I often forget to check the signature.
Samples of JCT's signature started to be shipped to the printing facilities in December, and printing new notes has probably just started. So it's pretty sure that those notes are not yet in circulation.-peter_at wrote:Has anybody got a note with Trichet's signature yet? According to http://www.ecb.int/change/eurobnfaq_en.htm#sec4 (Question 13) all notes printed since 1 Novermber 2003 bear Trichets signature.
here are the signatures:Poutsi wrote:His signature (http://www.ecb.int/pub/pdf/monetarypolicy2004en.pdf LARGE pdf file, page 8 ) seems to be somewhat similar to Duisenbergs, so it won't be very easy to recognize it if you don't pay attention.
I guess so. The signature is part of the main design together with the architecture motif and the printer code, done by offset printing. Therefore they need new offset plates, that is: new plate numbers.androl wrote:It will be interesting to know if the signature can be told by the printer code.
(original news item: en de fr nl fi es pt it)Euro banknotes with the signature of the ECB President, Jean-Claude Trichet
Euro banknotes bearing the signature of Mr Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), are starting to come into circulation. Production of these banknotes began shortly after Mr Trichet became President on 1 November 2003.
This is in line with Article 1 (2) of ECB Decision ECB/2001/7 on the denominations, specifications, reproduction, exchange and withdrawal of euro banknotes, as last amended by Decision ECB/2003/4, which states that "other elements of the [banknote] designs shall include...the signature of the President of the ECB".
Banknotes with Mr Trichet's signature are issued by the euro area national central banks in the normal way, i.e. to replace unfit banknotes and to meet any increase in demand for specific denominations. They circulate alongside those bearing the signature of his predecessor, Mr Willem F. Duisenberg. Both categories of banknote are equally valid. Neither should be regarded as a collector's item.
Of course still the same year... it's still the same design!Senior wrote:Please take note of the unchanged year (still 2002).
