Strange case of small serial letter in 2 Bolívares Fuerte banknote date Diciembre 2008

January 22nd, 2012

Piece bbcv2bsf-ab01r,e (Obverse)
From reports of Emilio Orta and Ivan León, we noticed two cases with similar serial number (Z00687484 y Z00687154) where the letter prefix of the serial number is small in comparison with other banknotes nearby (Z00687499) which the letter prefix is large like all the banknotes of the serie. It's possible that this maybe due to a numbering machine error. The piece was catalogued as bbcv2bsf-ab01r,e.
