I just sent you a PM (I found a few bundles of VE and VG myself ).

[g.s.51]

The VE, VF and VG can only correspond to three different charges of V022. It is hard to imagine a printer mixing three letters in a single charge; that would make no sense.
We now need to work out the exact numbering for each of these charges

Excuse the typo, VE, VG and VH !!

I agree with you, it seems that the Spanish printer simply continued the usual V-banknote scheme but using new print intervals.
Here are those that should be all possible charge, with the schemes of those that could have been used for these V022 (sorry, these images are too big for the forum).

A brilliant summary of V/V numbering!

Thanks, Giulio!

Great job. After Elmo sent me a pm with his findings, and I checked the EBTCheck's database, I saw yet another 8 VE and 3 VG four-digit combos that fit other cells within the exact same scheme (all on the very first single-letter cycles).

So, it's clear that the Spanish scheme remains the same.

It's also clear that, for some reason, they skipped (many) cycles. There's no chance that, after printing close to 2 000 000 000 VA and VB (up to VB9817), they engaged on printing all the VC to VH, or even VE to VH.

The V022/VF has just been released; all that's left are the VC and VD.

This sequence of letters is surprising. Does this mean the end of the printing of the 10€ V/V notes from the Europa series?

I presume, the postion is V022B4 ...

I have an oddity again.
For N notes, the plate is determined by the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th digit (because 1 and 2 is NA/NB/NC/ND, 3 and 4 is the plate position). In my determination, NA__1380..NA__3589 is all N014.

I now have a N005 NA__1631

[lmviterbo]

In my determination, NA__1380..NA__3589 is all N014.

I now have a N005 NA__1631

N/N are indeed known to have small pockets of what seem to be replacement sheets, the most common in the N014 range being N005 and N017 (around 1% of the entire print run for each one). If there's any underlying logic, I still haven't found it.

[MDeen]

I have another odd one, R013 RC469. They are supposed to be R017.

I have another odd one, R013 RC469. They are supposed to be R017.

On the EBTCheck database (11k+ RC), there are very few non-R017 in the whole range from RC4472 to RC5410, including your R013 and a couple others, and some R016. They are loose, so I don't know if they're extremely rare replacement sheets, or just misreadings / mistypings. If you have yours (or photo proof), then at least yours is not an error, but quite an odd one indeed.
