kiwi Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Has anyone noticed that the images shown in SCWPM for French Indo-China P66 and P71 have differing serial numbers on LHS and RHS. I have just checked my examples and they too show this feature. Can anyone explain why this would be so. SCWPM does not mention this feature. For example, my ... P66 has Y320536 on LHS and Y045536 on RHS. and P71 has Y318945 on LHS and Y018945 on RHS. I'm confused !!! Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 You'll need a specialized Into China catalog to tell you that kind of detail. Les Billets de la Banque de L'Indochine, Kolsky & Muszynski, is the one I use, it is very good. There are several methods used for the serial numbers on the various notes, and those two notes happen to use two different methods. It's a long treatise on laying out the numbers, but fundamentally those two (left & right) numbers combine to make what you would think of as a unique "serial number'. As to *why* it was done this way, I don't see any reference in the catalog that comments. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
