Note: Banknotes that exhibit defects or errors during the printing stage are typically replaced at the currency printing presses with new banknotes featuring the same number, accompanied by a star mark positioned between the prefix and the serial number. The presence of errors in Star/Replacement banknotes is intriguing, as these replacements were introduced to prevent the circulation of error banknotes from the currency printing press.
