Yesterday I've received a bill which is maybe "rare at 2nd sight", a french Duisenberg :note-5: L016E2 - U **406

I remember that is was discussed already somewhere in the forum that the the last french Dusienbergs (L014-L016) are rare and my personal statistic fits to this, from > 6000 :note-5: notes I've entered there are only:
L012 - 112x
L013 - 85x
L014 - 4x
L015 - 0x
L016 - 1x
L017 - 4x
(1st Trichet)
L018 - 492x

The L016 I got now is very circulated, has anybody else found this type and how often :?:

Also I've wondered about a :note-100: P006A2 - U**023, printed in Germany for France 8O ...but the EBT-table says that there are already >8000 of it in the database.

Hmm, yes they do seem rare!

I have 2 L014, 3 L015 and 3 L016.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Of the 1805 :note-5: I've entered, 912 (50.5%) are :flag-fr: L/U:

L001 - over 100
L002 - over 100
L003 - over 100
L004 - over 100
L005 - 25
L006 - 15
L007 - 58
L008 - 28
L009 - 13
L010 - 14
L011 - 11
L012 - 18
L013 - 9
L014 - 4
L015 - 0
L016 - 6
L017 - 17
L018 - over 100
L019 - 58
L020 - 1 (got it yesterday) :D

Some are rare in France because they were mainly pooled out, but some do seem rare indeed, unless a lot are still hiding in reserve.

So maybe the L015 :note-5: are pooling notes for Ireland? That would explain why noone else found them because irish :note-5: are hard to find outside of the green island anyway...

Well, it is quite relative, but you can get some kind of clue of rare short code / national bank combinations when you view the numbers on this table. After you have done eurobilltracking for some time you will realise it when you see a rare euro note. :)
