Highest Short Codes (Updated on 01.01.2026)

[Luis.]

got at the discount Reichelt in 12057 Berlin:

R032G1 X600...

[Ewri]

About a week ago I got an e007i2/p197 in a post office in Alston, GB. It was slightly used already.

Curious, since I recently found an E003F4/P197... ! I triple-checked, and it was not P107 or E008F4.

I also found 4 (in the last 2 months) E003 P197 and today I got a E007i2 /P1977

Oops! I checked only the short form on the first page and obviously it isn't updated.

Updated on 20.09.2010

It seems the printers made also summer vacation. We have 7 higher combinations since the last update. Only 3 of them are new plates and 2 are new shortcode-records: J061H2 and R032G1.

Changes since last update are marked with red color.

Please be aware that i need the following information:
New (full) Short Code
Note Value
Country Code
First 3(!) significant numbers of serial number (if you had no idea which one, take a look in the list stated below).

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.
