Malta and Cyprus have to produce euro banknotes this year, with their serial number prefix letters F and G
now we have September and still no notes from Malta and Cyprus in circulation
what do you think? Will we get them until 31th Dec. 2009?

I think we will have to wait untill 2010... Let's see what does actually hapend!

Btw: is it already known which values? ?

As far as I know, yes. And I also do not think that we'll see bills with these serial numbers.
If I remember correctly, Dutch printer John Enschede has won the tender to print the bills
and it seems to me that the G005/P, G006/P, G007/P and G008/P bills (at least the latter ones)
are the bills that should have been the Maltese and Cypriot ones.

Not the G005 & G006, that are 2008's production. They also have the G/L. So it should be G007 & G008 or, who knows even higher.

But banknotes are assigned according to population, so let's make a quick calculation:
I am now assuming G prints for these countries: NL, LU, MT, CY, SI.
Of these, NL also print this year, so lets assume a 50/50 distribution.
Populations (rounded):
NL: 16,5 million -> 8,3 million
LU: 0,5 million
MT: 0,4 million
CY: 0,8 million
SI: 2 million
~total: 12 million

So we will have 8,8 milliion/12 million G/P = 73,3% G/P
0,4/12 = 3,3% G/F (Malta)
0,8/12 = 6,7% G/G (Cyprus)
2/12 = 16,7% G/H (Slovenia)

This is less G/P than I initially expected to see, so I think we should have seen them by now. But on the other hand, I now remember that there should be about 500 million notes printed by G this year, which will likely be more than just the two plate numbers seen until now, so it's still possible.

However, this post is using lots of information I can't find at the moment, so the conclusion is possibly wrong.

I hope it won't be like the R notes ( )

I'm as eager to see them as you guys, but there are no sign of the G/F notes here. It's been a long time since I have seen unciruclated notes.

i do not think they care what they print on the note as long as they get payd for it , they wont get blaimd if they send A to B or C to D ( or they can always print E and send it to A , B , C and D)

The bank of Cyprus approved the printing of with the letter "G" yesterday by email

Could you give us more information about this? Do you know how much notes they had to print for 2009?

It seems that a SPANISH USER HAS FOUND IT!!! He has found a "G-banknote" (Cyprus!)

Whatch the message here: http://forum.eurobilltracker.com/viewto ... 17#p744804" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Come on Malta!

a scan would be interesting

I expect to see the first G(probably 009)/H notes very soon.

G/F should now be here as well.

Any guesses if the G009 plate will print "normal" Dutch notes as well? I don't think so.

I hope so!
