The way this &quot;decentralized pooling system&quot; works (from what I know about it) is that the ECB says how many notes of this or that denomination are needed. Then the national bank(s) commissioning the production of that particular denomination (see <a href="http://www.ecb.int/bc/faqbc/figures/html/index.en.html#banknotes" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ecb.int/bc/faqbc/figures/html/index.en.html#banknotes" rel="nofollow">http://www.ecb.int/bc/faqbc/figures/html/index.en.html#banknotes</a>) will pick a printer. Could be some in-house printing works, could be some manufacturer in a different EU country ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
