Updated on 13.05.2015

A new combination was found: Europa- Y! This time there are 19 higher combinations, 7 of them were new plates and 11 of them are are new shortcode-records:
ES1: J093??, M058H1, R052H5, T039H5 and U023H3
ES2: P004I6, T004J6, U009I6, V008J6, Y002I6 and Z005J6

Changes since last update are marked with red color.

If you find a shortcode (not serialnumber!) higher than the ones on this list, please post the following information in this thread:

• New (full) shortcode
• Value of note
• Countrycode with first 3! significant numbers of serial number (if you had no idea which one, take a look in the list stated below. A quotation mark means that the information is missing)
• Signature of the ECB president: WD, JCT, MD

If you take part in this topic for the first time, please try to have the note already in your hand if you reported it here. If you only find records in your NIG-statistics (especially with old or not yet existing combinations) its a maximum likelihood that its only a typo.
