Watermark

A 50-kuru?, watermarked Ottoman banknote, the existence of which has been discussed for more than a century, has been found among banknotes sent by a collector for valuation. The banknote is dated 1876. 

Numismatist Mehmet Tezçak?n, a consultant to a London-based international auction company, said that a collector based in Germany had sent him some Ottoman banknotes for valuation. 

New 10-euro notes are being introduced across the eurozone from Tuesday.

The European Central Bank is gradually phasing in new banknotes to replace those in circulation since the euro became a physical currency in January 2002. It started with new five-euro banknotes in May 2013.
