Decision (EU) 2025/2182 of the European Central Bank amending Decision ECB/2010/14 on euro banknote authenticity and fitness checking
The European Central Bank amends Decision ECB/2010/14 to optimize the handling of suspect counterfeit euro banknotes and reduce unnecessary delays in crediting account holders. The revision empowers national central banks to authorize cash handlers to reprocess category 2 suspect banknotes after consulting competent authorities, provided specific classification rules are followed. Additionally, the decision clarifies that cash handlers must provide account holder information for all suspect notes identified by customer-operated machines, staff-operated machines, or manual checks.
