Specimen notes
The aim of making specimen banknotes is to let know the new banknote series to the banks and through them to the public and also by this educational role to prevent forgery.
The mutual change of specimens between central banks exists since the 18th century. At the beginning the specimen notes were slightly different to the genuine banknote either in graphics or in colours. From the 20th century the specimen notes are identical with the legal tender notes, only the use of the zero as serial number and/or the printed or perforated word "specimen" makes the difference between the two types.
The real specimen notes bear printed and/or perforated inscription of the word specimen, in Hungarian: "MINTA". We offer the types of specimen notes from the official circulation forint banknotes, by issuing years. Each serial number and each types of letters can't be ensured, only the issuing years per denominations.
The photos of the specimen notes are under processing. The actually shown pictures serve only as illustration, they present the pictures of the "normal" circulating notes.
