As the article (in German) says, about 700 of them had been stolen last month. A Hamburg company that produces banknote authentication sensors had received such "samples" as a secured loan from the Bundesbank, for testing purposes, so that the machines work OK when the notes are issued in about four months.

On the last weekend in April, somebody already wanted to pay with such "new" notes at a gas station. The cashier thought the notes were counterfeit, called the police, and the men were arrested. About 90 notes were found.

In this latest case the taxi driver even joked about the color ("the red in your photocopies is too intense") but accepted the notes when the passenger explained that these were new, like the new fiver last year. The next day our driver goes to his bank and is told that yes, these notes are authentic but not legal tender yet. Don't know whether he can actually keep them; after all it is obvious that the "source" is a theft ...

He's probably the first man in history cheated with a regular payment rate with genuine notes :lol:

They were used for testing, it's quite possible they were stolen after they already went through a few machines and hands.

By the way, in case you are in or near The Hague (Den Haag, NL), you can still see the new :note-10: ahead of time - until 1 September. The traveling exhibition "The New Face of the Euro", at the City Hall Atrium (Spui 70), also features pre-euro notes and coins from the euro countries.

Will we really get all those new combinations? I guess it is possible, except for the Luxembourg notes. This is impossible because of the Luxembourgian law (which states that banknotes should depict the Grand Duke of Luxembourg).

Those country's are the NCB's issuing the notes, not the printers printing them. The serial numbers of the new notes refer to the printer, not the NCB.
At the forum, I have seen pictures of :flag-ie:, :flag-it: and :flag-at: .

Because the Greece-printer has only printed :note-10: for the last many years, I do anticipate :note-10: with an Y-shortcode.

As I am writing this, they cannot be entered yey. (would be premature, I know)
