Default "French Printed" banknotes?

Greece really only had the "French printed" notes for the 1935 issue, they
were replaced in 1939 with notes printed by Bradbury Wilkinson. Belgium
did have very close notes to those of France, but they were usually
designed by Belgian artists, such as Emile Vloors.

The nation that had notes influenced by French artists, and or printing in
some cases the most was Romania. Their note history goes back to the 1877
issue, which followed the notes of France remarkably closely. Subsequent
notes, with the exception of the small change notes of 1917, were designed
by French graphic artists, such as Clement Serveau and were circulated
until rendered valueless in 1947.

Here are some Romanian notes:

You've got a wonderful website there David. I've been spending my Saturday
morning with a cup of coffee looking at all the lovely notes and reading
about them.

Thanks for the info, too.

Dave
