Spanish notes in Belgium

I found out today that stacks of crisp notes that came were all V on the 20 euro bills and X (R) for 10E bills.Is this already happening so quickly? One printer prints the notes for the specific denomination. The 50s were Belgian. All of these seem to correspond to the info on what country is supposed to print whatever notes.

I want your input.

hmmm very nice results to Portugal, and the best thing is that they were achieved in very short time..

but I must say, first I was very glad that we had more notes then Spain, and almost catching France, but this is very bad for the main purpose: INTERNATIONAL HITS!, so I guess I'm going to take the dust of my spanish and spread the word through some forums...

bn

ps: is not the first time I do this, the problem is that the nice foruns, with lots of users, need me to register, and the other ones, no one goes there...

If the Belgian 50s are printed by T003, probably, they are from the pooling system.

I cannot encourage you enough ...
Spain is a bit like the missing link ... I have not explanation
But you Portuguese can convince them, as a fast growing EBT-community

See what I found on the Belgian National Bank website:

Hoe zal worden omgegaan met de bankbiljettenstromen tussen eurolanden ?

Uit gegevens in de Verenigde Staten blijkt dat dollarbiljetten tussen regios migreren, gedeeltelijk vanwege het toerisme. Op vergelijkbare wijze zullen eurobankbiljetten bijvoorbeeld migreren van het noorden naar het zuiden als gevolg van toeristenstromen gedurende de vakantieperiode. In Europa is dit nu al het geval en resulteert dit in het repatriëren van bankbiljetten van het zuiden naar het noorden, voornamelijk via de commerciële banken.

Zodra de eurobankbiljetten zijn ingevoerd zal het niet langer nodig zijn deze te repatriëren naar de nationale centrale bank waar ze oorspronkelijk werden uitgegeven, aangezien de eurobankbiljetten in het gehele eurogebied kunnen worden gebruikt. Om het hoofd te bieden aan grote migratiestromen kan het Eurosysteem echter overgaan tot het herverdelen van grote hoeveelheden bankbiljetten van locaties met een overschot naar die met een tekort. In een aantal landen, waaronder de Verenigde Staten, is dit een gangbare procedure.

In short, due to billcurrents from north to south (mainly by tourisme), the Eurosystem can redistribute big piles of bills to places where there is a shortage. So I guess that's why the bunch of Spanish bills ending up in belgium...

Does someone noticed this in his country too?

I noticed the same at the Belgian coast!

Those Spanish notes are fresh and new!
They never were in circulation in Spain, so they don't give more hits than other notes...
Even less I think, because they are only since recently in cirulation here in Belgium.

Yes, you're right. I think those bills are from the pooling system: In 2002, Spain printed fresh M007* 20E notes, like they were told by ECB. Belgium has been printing T003* 50E notes, for example.

Probably, Belgium need new 20E notes but they aren't allowed to print the notes themself so they have to buy (?) 20E notes from a country who are allowed to print them = Spain. That's why we are getting many uncirculated Spanish notes in Belgium at this moment.

It's the same for Belgian T003* 50E notes in Greece.

So the few T003 notes we get here in Belgium, actually came all the way from Greece ?

No, no, Belgium print these notes and sells them to the countries who need them. Or use them theirself ... I think.

Why do we get so little of these notes ?
I mean, 2 on 2000 is VERY rare.

Maybe because Belgium doesn't need so many new T003 50E notes themself? And Greece has a shortage of 50E notes so they buy some from Belgium?? Probably, in the futur, we'll have more T003 50E notes in Belgium too ...

I broke open the stacks of notes today. The "Z" 50s were all T003

Hmm.. What happens in the future, there's only 7 denominations but 10+ printers. Who will close its doors?

Sorry if this has been discussed already, I haven't read forum actively lately.
