Rare swedish euro?

Hi, I have a 20 euro bill with a K prefix and printer letter C. As far as my googling gets me its a Swedish euro? Is this of any particular value?

Also got a 5 euro prefix J printer A and a 200 note with prefix R printer H

Forgot to add a 100 euro without a serial number

A Swedish euro?

The K prefix and printer letter C were reserved for Sweden on the first series. No (real) circulation banknotes were actually made with these. I don't know if any samples were made.

​G'day mate!
Sweden doesn't use the euro, nor are they about to switch over to the euro either. So whatever you have, it's just a souvenir.

​I agree. It is either some type of souvenir knock-off or a fake 20 since no nation uses the "K" prefix (& no C printer code). The imprint for the printer's code looks dodgy at best. Check out EuroBillTracker for more info on the prefix system used & diffusion of notes discovered.

There was a similar post for a 100 Euro with a mysterious "W" prefix shared on CCF a while back. Unfortunately the note was thought to be a fake (at least that's what the experts from PMG figured).

I know it may be hard to believe but forgers often don't give a ___ about providing legitimate prefixes. I saw this first hand while a blackjack dealer many moons ago & fake CDN $50 were attempted to be passed as real. In fact, I have yet to see any fake CDN notes with the correct prefix or the fonts used for the SN.

Also why redact the serial number at all? Would be a quick way to verify at least the serial number.
At least the "Danish" banknote's checksum is valid.

I get my banknote information from Banknote.ws and it's not there. Who's signature is on it and what's the date? Lets see the other side.

​Checksum? What is that, and what does it mean that it's "valid"?

Thanks!

Here is the other side! Number is 9 9 9 0 8 8 5 4 1 4 3
Thanks for all the replies even though it might be some weird knock off or something

The owner of the rare "W" prefix 100 Euro also wrote posts like this about the note being issued for Denmark but never released (& blah, blah, blah) on several currency forums. He probably also used checksum (since checksum stated my W note entry was from the first series but invalid number). Even the site admits " if the checksum is valid, the banknotes is not counterfeit (probably)."

That's like me giving the casino a CDN $100 note and the dealer asking me if its legit & I reply "probably."

Very unreliable site & data. It should be removed (or at least fixed).

Please use EuroBillTracker At least this site has thousands of contributors who keep it legit.

Yeah it sounds a bit strange for me too. I checked that eurobill tracker and there is nothing there about it so. I was mostly curious that's why I did this, didn't want more than just your thoughts about it as it seems you guys know alot about this! So the final verdict is what? Some kind of novelty souvenir thing?

As I said above, "No (real) circulation banknotes were actually made with these." I don't think anybody is questioning that it is not a real banknote, just that K and C signifies Sweden (if they would have converted to euro currency).
