PRESS RELEASE 19.06.2009

Eesti Pank releases into circulation new 2-kroon and 10-kroon banknotes

From June 19, new series 2- and 10-kroon banknotes are launched into circulation. Compared to the 2006 release, the only thing that has changed on the banknotes is the year of issue.

The new 2-kroon banknotes have the same design as the previous series, which was issued in 2006. Only the year of issue has changed - the new banknotes bear the year 2007.

The new 10-kroon banknotes have the same design as the previous series issued in 2006. Only the year of issue on the banknotes has changed; it is now 2007.

The new 2-kroon notes were printed in Germany by the Gieseke & Devrient GmbH printing facility and the 10-kroon notes in Malta by the De La Rue printing facility.

All the 2-kroon and 10-kroon banknotes issued before the 2007 series will also remain legal tender.

Photos of the new 2-kroon and 10-kroon banknotes are available at the web site of Eesti Pank, where it is also possible to acquire information about the security elements of earlier series.
