Q Indian inset letters
Kyle,
Good questions. I don't know what they are used for, but I can tell you that they do use letters other than R. Perhaps someone who specializes in Indian notes will explain their usage. Now you have me curious On 4/5/07 12:28 PM, in article , "Kyle Mutcher" wrote: What do the inset letters mean for the Indian notes and do they use letters other than R? Kyle. "Owen W.

Now you have me curious Inset letters are used when all the numbers are exhausted and there is need to repeat the serial number. When the design changed the first set of notes is issues without an inset. Inset letters were always incremented alphabetically. Until the late 70s Inset letters were only needed for the lower denominations 1 though 20 (1, 2, 5, 10, 20) because the prefix contains only one letter as opposed to 2 letter for denominations 50 and also at that time lower denominations had more notes printed than the higher ones. Serial number format - lower denominations 99A 999999 and for higher denominations 99AA 999999. With the new Gandhi series (1 and 2 rupee notes are no longer printed) the inset letters are no longer alphabetically incremented. I have no idea why and what pattern these inset letters follow. Hope this helps. - Balaji |

Q Indian inset letters
Thanks for the answer, this has made me more interested in the Indian note
series. I've noticed in the past while that it seemed that "R" was being used for the inset letter across the series. Best regards, Kyle. wrote in message oups.com... On Apr 5, 1:59 pm, "Owen W.
