10€ bill with invalid printer code?

Post by Finlandatwar »

I just started with the hobby and tried to enter a 10€ bill with the printer code Y00816 onto the website, but the website says that the code is invalid. What could be the problem here?

The 5th character is a letter so it should be Y008I6 and not Y00816 :)

Apart from that: you should not publish serial numbers (now anybody could enter your notes and you'd have a "hit" that never happened) because otherwise these notes get moderated and would prevent them from becoming genuine hits in the future

If you'd like to contact me, don't hesitate to write a PM to me, or to send an email. I can understand German (native language), English and Dutch :wink:

Hello to :flag-fi:

The printercode is always:

Letter - Number - Number - Number - Letter - Number
like N002B3 or E013G2 or Z001I1


The serialnumber has always 12 signs:
With the first euronote- series there is one Letter with 11 Numbers,
with the second (europe- series) there are two Letters with 10 Numbers

Maybe you will get one of these austrian 5ers with printer N022I...
There is almost no gap between the "22" and the "i".
In some cases I had to use a magnifying glass to see it.
See the difference between a N024 and N022 printer:
