Highest Short Codes (Updated on 01.01.2026)

[Elmo]

Hi,
I got 4 bills in a bank yesterday but I can't register them.
The codes are U048F3 / UG101XXXXXX and U048G3 / UG201XXXXX.
I doubt they are fake so after a bit of research on the forum I assumed they are really new.
When would I be able to register them ?

Thanks

I'm already on it, you should be able to enter this tomorrow at the latest

Obviously the first series of UA1 until UD9 has been filled, so the Banque de France continues with UE1 until UH9. This means that UE, UF, UG and UH must be enabled when it comes to French .

Updated on 01.01.2023

There was 1 new combination for the Europa-notes: W

And here the new shortcode records:
ES2: R039A4, S048E2, U048G3, V027H5 and W015H2

Changes since last update are marked with red color.

If you find a shortcode (not serialnumber!) higher than the ones on this list, please post the following information in this thread:

• New (full) shortcode
• Value of note
• Countrycode with first 3! significant numbers of serial number (if you had no idea which one, take a look in the list stated below. A quotation mark means that the information is missing)
• Signature of the ECB president: WD, JCT, MD

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.

Wow PT is not in the ECB production for 10€ !

Maybe for BE in 2022 ?!

[Montgomery Burns]

The MB serial numbers are, indeed, currently "reserved" for Belgium (whereas bills printed "for Portugal" are MA, MC and MD).

In this post (in Portuguese), our friend Viterbo mentions an order 459 million units, enough to take us from MB00 to MB45 and to go through four printing plates (M001 - M004).
