Message:: [QUOTE="clayirving, post: 749972, member: 18867"]It is amazing how much information is contained in the catalog, and, for the most part, the accuracy of the information. However, I routinely find little mistakes and information that is not found in the catalog. For the Costa Rica P236 note, look at the description: b. Date at right center. With watermark and security thread. Error name 7.    T. VILLA on back. 1.4.1969; 30.6.1970; 24.5.1971; 8.5.1972 d. Without watermark or security thread. Changed signature titles.   4.5.1973-4.5.1976 e. As d. 24.1.1990-15.1.1992 Notice in the description for "b", the individual dates are separated by a semicolon ";", but the description for "e" has two dates separated by a dash "-" which can certainly be interpreted as 24 Jan 1990 through 15 Jan 1992. For the El Salvador P147 note, it is one of the few notes that indicates a Series. If you look at notes before and after P147, the notes commonly have a two character Series. I venture to guess that it is highly likely that this issue note was also printed with two character Series. For example, here is a P147 with Series AI: <img src="http://www.panix.com/%7Eclay/currency/SV147.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
