<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1698745, member: 39&quot;]The new/redesigned ones will be issued on Thursday.&nbsp; I know that, in Coin Talk, &quot;Paper Money&quot; by and large translates to US Paper Money only, but some of you may travel to the euro area this summer, so this may be interesting for them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the current/old system, the first character of the short code (small, on the obverse) indicates the printing works that makes the note, while the letter in the serial number (large, two times on the reverse) refers to the national central bank that commissions the production. Which NCB is responsible for what denomination in what year can be seen <a href="http://www.ecb.eu/stats/euro/production/html/index.en.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ecb.eu/stats/euro/production/html/index.en.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the new notes, both the first character of the short code and the first character of the serial number will now refer to the printer. The structure of the short code will be the same as before (xnnnxn). The &quot;old&quot; serial number had twelve &quot;elements&quot; (letter - ten digits - checksum digit); the new one starts with two letters. That second letter will (AFAIK) simply extend the &quot;numbering system&quot; from 10 to about 20. Also, for design reasons, only the last six digits will be repeated on the left.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
