The recent Polish banknotes have entered 1994 as the year!

At the 100 z? Oty the note says March 25, 1994, hence I think the year 1994, but the currency reform only started on 01.01.1995!

In short, 1994 as the year of entry into use of the banknote does not correspond to reality and when it comes to the date of the signature of the relevant authority, there must be room for that date!

Then there is the field "Era" where the People's Republic of Poland must be entered for Poland - Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa :)

@Reintje de Vos

One year later, another response. Sorry.

With paper money (sometimes also with coins) it is sometimes customary to include the date of the design in the banknote when designing the money. The result of this is that the date on the note does not correspond to the actual issue of the note.

In the Netherlands we see that a fixed date is placed on the notes from WWII. Even notes that have been in production for several decades always have the same original date.

Why does this matter? Simple: if we want to indicate a banknote, we do so on the basis of the date on the banknote. The actual background of that date is best described, but not as an interpretation of a banknote.

Greetings, Patrick Plomp
