* To be able to distinguish the different reissues of the set 'We connect people' with horizontal line, that is 1995, 1996, 1997 from each other , (the front part is identical) one should look at the number at the back. The number is printed upside down.The 1st number printed at the back represents the year issued. So for example 509B03015 which is printed on one 10 units card , the number 5 at the beginning at the left part means that the card was printed in 1995. The numbers 09 represent the month printed , September. So this means that the card with the number above mentioned as example was printed in September 1995.
