1999 The Crouzet issues with PTE and Euro value printing ( Portugal 98 , O Amolador , Passarinho and Galinhas )
In the 7 th August 1999 , the Crouzet machines had started to print the values simultanealy in Euros and in PTE . That measure give originy to the apearence of three more ATMīs : the O Amolador , the Passarinho and the Galinhas ATMīs ( the ones that whore in current use at that time in the Crouzet machines ) with the values printed in Euro and in PTE . The Galinhas ( with legend Litho Formas ) ATM recharge paper was used almost by mistake during a very short period of time and it is not even mentioned in the list of ATMīs issues of the portuguese post . This shows the permanent confusion about ATM issuing policy in the portuguese post . The standart values for these ATMīs were : 50 PTE ( 0,25 Euro ) ; 95 PTE ( 0,47 Euro ) ; 100 PTE ( 0,50 Euro ) ; 140 PTE ( 0,70 Euro ) and also the values for the Correio Azul national and international postage rates : 80 PTE ( 0,40 Euro ) and 350 PTE ( 1,75 Euro ) . Regarding to the receipts of these ATMīs , they had also started to mention the values in Euro . For this issues , no official F.D.C. or souvenir were prepared .

The Galinhas ATM with Euro value printing
The Portugal 98 ATM with Euro value printing
Like in the other Crouzet issues it was possible to obtain some errors and varieties like double printings , missing numbers , TEST IMPRIMANTE printing and many others like rare statistic ATMīs ( with printing Taxas em Serviįo ) and others mentioning the coin storage of the machine . Another variety was the printing in violet instead of the normal black printing .
The fraudlauss issues of Espigueiro and Ciclista
Still about these Crouzet issues with PTE and Euro value printing , it is very probable that some Ŧcolectorsŧ could have open some Crouzet machines and used them to print this PTE and Euro values in the old papers of the Espigueiro and Ciclista ( that whore already out of service for a lot of time ago ) . This issues should be considerated a fraud , since that they whore used with the only propose of speculation .
