Banknote Express World Banknote Replacement Notes

Banknote Express World Banknote Supersite

The following is a list of Replacement note indicators. Images are included when available.

What is a replacement note? When banknotes are printed, occasionally there are notes that are imperfectly printed. These damaged notes are destroyed and replacement notes are printed. Often these replacement notes are marked by special serial numbers or other markings. The tables below give information about how to identify replacement notes.

Obviously we need a lot of information to complete this page, so if you have more information or images of Replacement notes you would like to share, please email us at contact@banknoteexpress.com. Thanks!

The Cyrillic "Yah" looks like a backwards "R"
The Cyrillic "Beh" looks like a lower case "b" with a horizontal line across the top
Cyrillic Letters: Please see this site for more details.

The Arabic "Seen" looks like a "U" with an extra two half-loops at the end. Maybe a "U" and a curly "w" stuck together.
