5 euro 2002 early serial question

3 posts • viewed 108 times
Hi all,

Let me start with a disclaimer that I have little knowledge on this topic, hence my question here.
I came across this 2002 5 euro note with serial X06458945978, printer code P004E5. Now I saw this listing with a similar note and similar serial, listed as '1st edition, rythmic sequence serial' with a seemingly unrealistic price. Most likely more of a scam.

Quotation from the listing:
"No additional 0, 1 & 2.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 appearing no more than twice"

So I'm wondering if there is actually any rarity or value in a note like this. (Besides the obvious wear and tear)

I just checked EuroBillTracker & their stats show that 11,763,525 5 Euros (X: Germany prefix) have been reported. The 'P' printer code means that your note was either printed in Munich or Leipzig but was part of a huge run.

I wouldn't expect the note to have much of a premium in that condition, however. Might be good for a swap here though.

I collect 5 EURO bank notes if you want to swap it. 2002, 2013 and the newer one 2020/21 if interested.
