20 Pesos Bill ( Dated 2008 A )

I found this 20 Pesos bill when my classmate pay his Debt. Accidentally I Found out that this 20 Pesos was dated " 2008 A ".An Anonymous commented in this post that the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) simply ran out of serial numbers for the standard 2008 notes (702 million, if you count single letter serial numbers), so to avoid duplicate serials, the "A" was added to the 702,000,001th note onwards.

    I got one in my change yesterday. Serial No prefix is YY. I wonder if they are rare. Would love to find out more about 2008A and whether it is just P20 or other denominations also.

    I saw 2 of these in 2 days at different places. Both 20's. Probably not an error or rare. Just unusual.

    One plausible explanation is that they simply ran out of serial numbers for the standard 2008 notes (702 million, if you count single letter serial numbers), so to avoid duplicate serials, the "A" was added to the 702,000,001th note onwards.
