02.11.2006 - (02/11/2006) In Germany, according to a report in Bild newspaper showed up bills that degrade themselves.
An assessment found that the destroyed notes have come in contact with sulphuric acid. Chemists suggest that the degradation process is triggered only by the touch of a hand. Eventually, the bills were powdered with a sulphate salt, which develops only in conjunction with moisture, for example, manual welding, to form sulphuric acid.
The first incidents were on 21 June 2006 in Berlin and on 14 July 2006 in Potsdam occurred. In June, a 20-euro bill at the State Bank in July and two 5-euro notes at Dresdner Bank has been given. Since August were affected mainly 50-euro notes in Berlin, Potsdam and the surrounding area. Finally, the bills were distributed throughout Germany. Affected the cities of Karlsruhe, Wurzburg, Frankfurt / Oder, Magdeburg, Kiel, Bad Mergentheim are, Düsseldorf, Giessen, Munich, Cottbus, Rostock, Leipzig, Erfurt, Freiburg, and Koblenz.
According to the report now determine the state criminal police offices in Berlin and Rhineland-Palatinate. A manufacturing defect is excluded. Due to the note numbers and plate numbers, which was printed, be sure that the bills are from a federal printing.
