hi. i have noticed that the 1974 series of 2 leva had a serial number composed from 7 or 6 numbers.
they arent listed in pick. the 6 number are rare?
can i find similar ones in the 1962 serie?

I am not sure if there is a price difference for them, which might be why the different serial number patterns are not listed. But they show both 6 and 7 serial number notes in the catalog, all of mine are 7 letters, which I presume is later issued notes.

I don't think it is like Romania P-83, 5 Lei 1952 where the colours of serial numbers were red at first and not for very long then they changed them to blue serial numbers which there are many more of.

in romania, the rumor is that the red series were printed in Cehoslovacia. but some say that all of them were prinded in urss.
i;m not so sure that this explication for the color is corect.i mean nobody found any prof here for anything( long live the comunist secrets sad.gif ) red series are rare for all values form 1 leu to 100lei.

Siluska, if you are Romanian, you can read this http://transylvanian-numismatics.com/phpBB...57&start=90 topic from Transylvanian-numismatics forum. There it is an information from a Slovak source wich says that both red and blue serials from 1952 notes are printed by GOZNAK in USSR (and the bulgarian czechoslovak and albanian notes too!). Information is from "Studii si cercetari numismatice IX". I know that Buzdugan says in "Monede si Bancnote Romanesti" that the red serials were printed in CS, but he can be wrong.

Hi, all notes from 1974 series have numbers with 6 or 7 digits. Those printed before 1985 have 6 digit serial numbers, from 1985 till 1991 have 7 digit serial numbers. Maybe the 6-digits serial number notes are litle more rarest then the 7-digit's, but this doesn't make them more expensive.
The notes from 1962 series have only 6 digit serial numbers.
