    No big deal really. It's just a €50 note. Not hugely different but harder to counterfeit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,866 ✭✭✭✭bear1


    What's the difference?

    The colour is a little too close to the €10 notes. Could be just that picture.

    Edit:

    It looks more orange here:

    I just seen something for the RTÉ 6.1 News later. New €50 notes are being released for circulation tomorrow.

    [
    Jesus; you have to be in a real secret place to not get them robbed off you. :pac:

    What are you actually trying to say with this?

    That they are more likely to be stolen than the other?

    That €50 notes are always stolen off people?

    It's just the picture. On the TV news they were almost identical in colour to the old 50.

    Britain has been removed from the map of Europe on the back.

    That'll teach them.
    Sure in fairness they shouldn't have been on the euro notes from the start.

    For five €10 notes you can exchange for one of them.

    You can always cut them, if that's your thing. :)

    The last one must have been getting copied like Lego for them to have bothered changing it. The €20 will be next. People will adapt and forgers will up their game. Cat and Mouse will continue.

    That would be handy if you could hold onto them for any length of time.

    The €20 was changed a couple of years ago, the new €50 is very similar to the newer €20 actually.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    I like it, reminds me of the old 50 euro note.

    I thought the 20 was already changed, or are they going through them all again?

    I've set up a recycling centre for the old notes if any has any lying around.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,387 ✭✭✭D0NNELLY


    The counterfeiters must have a field day during the changeover.

    Ah yeah, that's the new one, promise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989

    Should Britain ever have been on euro notes though?

    Yes, for two reasons:
    • Trivial reason: The Euro architects intended the UK to join the Euro eventually. That's why you never see Euro note serial numbers starting with "A". The letter A was reserved for the Bank of England when the UK joined the Euro.
    • Substantial reason: Up until now, the Euro notes printed the land map of Europe, including non-Eurozone countries such as those in Eastern Europe, and non-EU countries such as Russia, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and so on. I haven't see the new 50s yet, but if its true that Britain has been removed while other non-Eurozone, non-EU states are still represented, then:
      1. The note designs were redrafted after June of last year.
      2. The EU/ECB is behaving like puerile, sore losers.

    Though I think it's OK to point out that when you get the new bills, you can follow them (and your other cash) over at EBT:

    The map is unchanged, as it's a map of Europe, not the Euro zone nor the EU.

    And the reserved serial number prefix for the UK is J. A was for the printing works.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,166 ✭✭✭Beyondgone

    When the girl in the deli "tests" your tenner to see if it's bogey, you know they have taken in loads of bogey tenners and her manager is gone whingey. So they must be faking off loads of euros. Tenners, twenties and fifties. No one seems bothered faking the €30 note for some reason. It ought to be the template for all the others.

    As I expected, I had been responding to claims starting with dan1895 above that the UK had been taken of the Euro note maps of Europe.

    I take a dim of the European Union these days, but logically such a change would be too pathetic and childish, even for them. Not to mention difficult as it would most likely take more than 1 year to design a new template and print all new notes from it.

    As for the country code, fair cop. A was to be the Printer Code for the 2002 series notes printed by the Bank of England printing works while J was to be the country/serial code for the United Kingdom.

    I used to work with cash. It's good to get in the habit of checking every note you receive.

    But with regards to my comment you responded to. The 20 euro note was only changed a couple of years ago.

    Terrible things.
    when someone asks for change for one I never know whether to give them a pair of fifteens or five sixes

    I withdrew some money from the ATM to put into my post office savings account, I got it all in fresh, new fifties, the only problem with the new bastard notes is that they stick together like the clasp on a Jew's purse, meaning you could be handing over two at a time without knowing it.

    At this point I'd like to clarify that I was joking but the way the world has gone I understand why some would have believed the removal of Britain from the notes to be true.
