As the heading goes, this site is dedicated to Hybrid banknotes only. This is a very specialised area of collections and in general, Hybrid banknotes are usually printed on high denominations or the top end of currency of a country. However despite saying this, there are few exceptions where Hybrid banknotes are printed on an entire series. I believe there are less than 300 pieces of Hybrid banknotes issued so far (including reprints), and apart from one or two pieces, the rest are still obtainable to collectors.

...European Union - 50 Euro 2017 Hybrid Notes

These are the fourth issues of the 2013 series bearing the signature of Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank. These notes were released on 04.04.2017, and like the previous 20, these €50 banknotes are also printed with Hybrid materials, including a transparent see-through arch window on the strip located on the right hand side of the note. At this stage, the following prefixes have been sighted - E, M, P, R, S, U, V, W, Y & Z. If these are the only prefixes issued, then here I am missing the one issued by Greece.
