New ECB president and his signature

eurotracer

On November 1st this year, Jean-Claude Trichet will become president of the European Central Bank. Newly printed euro banknotes will be signed by him from that time on - at least in theory. We will have to see when the first banknotes with his signature will enter the circulation and be discovered by EuroTracer users. To prepare for that, I just updated the insert page and introduced a new pull down menu - to be evaluated later.

According to the ECB, the copyright year will not change together with the change of the signature. For the time being, the year will be "2002".

Here are samples of signatures of the old and new ECB Presidents, taken from the publications "Review of the international role of the euro" of December 2002 and December 2003 (http://www.ecb.int/pub/):

Hi,

is it possible to change the signature of this note:

P08664203*** 10 € G010C2 WFD unknown Spain 08021 Barcelona Angelino [entered to EBT on 2005-12-28] 2005-12-28

it isn't from Duisenberg, this note wears the Trichet signature.
Thank you

EDIT by ET: I changed that.

Great table!!!!

But, there are L035 20 euro notes and J029 50 euro notes too.

And the spanish 20 notes from Trichet are ALL M013 and M014. M013-M020 should be a mistake.

I'm not sure but I think austrian 10 € notes are F006 and F007.
