Short code

[arneman]

Is it possible for 2 euro notes to have the exact same short code?

Sure, why not? Even if you add theoretically possible combinations* of printer codes, the maximum you get is 26x10x10x10x26x10, ie. about 6.8 million. But there are about 12 billion euro notes out there ...

(* ie. not taking unused characters and digits into account)

It's just that I was told that the short code points out where it was on the printer and I couldn't imagine 2 notes on the same place. After some research I know understand

Thanks for the reply

@ arneman,
A print run of Euro banknotes normally isn't just one sheet of banknotes but umpty thousands of sheets. And on each sheet the short code indicating the position of any note within the sheet is identical.
