Identification used in this website for banknotes that by the serial number and characteristics, is not coherent with the characteristics defined in a serial interval that it belongs, instead this piece belong to other characteristics type. This piece have no correlative order in a bundle, and can be 1 piece or more correlative pieces. Due to this behavior, it's difficult to estimate the amount, however, the serie prefix where it appears can be registered for study purpose.
This switching characteristics type pattern theoretically can be repeated in other pieces ending the same last digits serial number, changing the first digits, depending the serial numbering scheme, so piece this the same pattern is located in surrounding bundle. The amount of pattern depends the size of the sheet and the amount of banknotes per sheet, usually 45 banknotes which is being used lately.
The cause of this phenomenon is unknown, maybe it's related to logistics issue. This phenomenon appeared first in
100,000 Bolívares Fuertes banknotes with date Diciembre de 2017.
Following there are samples of correlative serial, which they belong in
Design A,
Type D, however their incoherence and characteristics belong to
Design A,
Type C and
Design A,
Type E. It's have been verified pieces with the same characteristics ending the serial numbers with the same last digits of serial numbers, they are:
C39510052,
C39510054 y
C39510055.
