A bill whose QR code reveals its serial number to be 0020-34992322C-4-1-E indicates that this is a 20 ice mark note, note number 34992322, which, by virtue of the letter “C” at the end, means this note happens to be the third time this particular number has been issued within... ...Some serial year, here indicated by the number 4— let us say that the Bank of Westarctica decided to issue newly designed 20-ice-mark notes in 2018, 2020, 2023, 2030. Then the 20-ice mark note which was largely redesigned in 2030 would be coded with the number 4, followed by... ...A year of actual printing— here, a numeral 1 means that this note was actually printed in the same year as its series year, 2030, followed by... ...Its series letter, in this case “E”, which only means that this note is somehow different from any other bill bearing the letter “A” or “H” or any other code in this field (but is not considered different enough to qualify for a different series number).
A bill whose QR code reveals its serial number to be 0020-34992322C-4-Y indicates that this is a 20 ice mark note, note number 34992322, which, by virtue of the letter “C” at the end, means this note happens to be one of at least two notes with this particular serial number that was issued within some serial year, here indicated by the number 4 (the fourth serial year for the 20 ice mark note, the fourth time this note has seen a major new design— let us say that the Bank of Westarctica decided to issue newly designed 20-ice-mark notes in 2018, 2020, 2023, 2030. Then the 20-ice mark note which was largely redesigned in 2030 would be coded with the number 4, followed by ss series letter, in this case “E”, which only means that thisnote is somehow different from any other bill bearing the letter “A” or “H” or any other code in this field (but is not considered different enough to qualify for a different series number).




Another example: A note whose code reveals its serial number to be 12237770-1-3-AZ indicates that this note, number 12237770 (no other notes from this serial year or printing year bear this same serial number because there is no letter following the 0 at the end), matches the design of similar bills originally printed in that same series year (which, because it is a 1, must be 2018 but was actually printed in 2021 (the numeral 3 means that this bill was printed in 2018+3=2021, and that this note’s appearance is essentially the same as the 2018 note) and is the “AZ” series bill printed that year (meaning that there must have been at least 26 other series bills also printed that year for that series year, though this field does not tell the user additional information nor if more than 52 such series notes were eventually printed for that series year and print year).

Third example: A note with the code indicating 00030020A-2-4-WEX. This indicates that the note holds the serial number 00030030 and was the second note to bear that serial number for series year (because the first note with that number did not have the letter A at the end) and was printed in the style of the 2018 note plus... ...Two years, =2020, meaning this note was the for the issue year was 2020, and was... ...the 4th design for that bill that year of issue, and... ...belongs to the WEX series of bills issued that year and in the format of 2018 (?) Note (?)
