The ECB has placed a complete table of devices for banknote processing on its newly designed website which are suitable for the verification of authenticity of banknotes and their right to be in circulation – Updated on 17 July 2015.
The list contains all devices that have passed a test at a national central bank (NCB) and their manufacturers have provided all the necessary information. Credit institutions and other cash handlers may use these devices for testing the authenticity and the fitness for circulation of Euro banknotes – in accordance with Decision ECB 2010/14.
