Mila_cent Pillar of the Community United States 1767 Posts	Posted 02/22/2008 1:06 pm Sometimes I come across a banknote that have non-English writing on the note. How can you determine which is the obverse and the reverse of a banknote? Is one clue that the serial numbers are usually printed on the obverse (front)? Or is it something else? Thanks, mila_ Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 02/22/2008 4:28 pm As for euro notes, the side with the serial numbers is the reverse, while the side that mentions the issuing institution (ECB) is the obverse. Guess that in quite a few cases the obv/rev issue is dealt with by local laws or customs ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff
