[Tjariet]

Found at Postkantoor (post-office) Waterlooplein Amsterdam: M014F6 V1803. m014 has been mentioned before, but without further details. Also found e008 at Schiphol yesterday. First mentioned from the Netherlands; no higher shortcodes though.

Updated on 05.12.2010

It was a busy autumn for the printers. We have 16 higher combinations since the last update, 10 of them are new plates and 7 are new shortcode-records: E008J5, J061H5, K007I6, L079I6, M042H5, R034H5 and T020B5.

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.

And here again a short form of the actual records. Print it, hang it over your table or put in your wallet and if you see a high shortcode, check it immediatly with this list!!!

[g.s.51]

Es fehlt in dieser Tabelle 10€ L047F2 / U4641... und natürlich die allerletzte Entdeckung von ANRO : 10€ L048B4 / U5843 !!

Sorry, did i miss a entry? I checked now again the entries in this thread but didn't found anything about this information. And if some information is not reported here, how should i consider it?

Die Info war tatsächlich leider nur bei EBT-Frankreich.
Sorry, ErGo !!

Hi all

Regarding to my entries, here are some more actual infos about highest short codes and highest serial numbers :

G026H5 P2095 50
D001E4 L0611 200
E001H5 U3604 100
R006J6 X2087 5
R006G4 X0231 200
Z1**22 T001J6 5
Z4**26 T002J6 20

And just a little question ... Is it R027F6 (X522) a TRUE note ??? For me, this is a R023F6...but it will be a good surprise too !

[klapotec]

highest serial numbers

highest serial numbers are irrelevant for this topic - only the short code is important

Probably is R024F6.

[ErGo]

As klapotec already wrote, only the shortcode and not the serial number counts in this game.

Z4**26 T002J6 20

This would be the only new highest shortcode, but unfortunatly J6 is definitly an error, because of the platesize of 9x6 only I6 is possible!

i had a of L031c1

[g.s.51]

i had a of L031c1

Are you sure? Do you remember the first four numbers of the serialnumber?
We have at the moment in France a few L029, and not in all regions!

Thanks for the answer!
U03** ist correct for the position C1, but U**34 would be a totally new charge

[JRR]

Probably some mixed up digits? L013/U**34 would be possible tough.

Another solution could be L031/U**84 ...
