I would expect there to be a number for each color.
Perhaps 77, 78, 79 for yellow, blue, and maybe gold.

Thanks Blair,
it's clear now, US employ a new plate number for each
colour, which is understandable.
In Oz we often use just an image, slash, dot (traffic lights)
or other sundry ways to indicate a colour pass/plate.
Then an image of a Koala or Kangaroo in the selvedge
to indicate print "runs" of the same stamp.
Koala=1 Kangaroo=5
Questa use little balloons IIRC.
Cheers and thank you.

dear Rod,

Any Australian balloons instead of koala's??

Questa no longer exists; De La Rue moved whatever was usable to their
plant in Dunstable, UK. From where I haven't seen any balloons when I was
flying back to the Netherlands!

groetjes, Rein

cheeky! Rein.
Here are the umbrellas of Pitcairn
http://cjoint.com/data/btaMS3F5FA.htm
Walsall Security Printers, who also employ "WSB" in a coathanger,
and the ubiquitous "1A 1B" etc & etc.

I was unaware, Questa had passed away, surprise, Pacifica wa inundated
with their printings. I'll locate the ballooons in due course.

Someone here, recently mentioned "Higgins and Gage"
did I read recently they had moved to Germany?
Cheers.

The fasces were used in many places over the last few
thousand years.

The word fasces comes from the the Roman word meaning
bundle. The fasces itself is an axe surrounded by bundled
elm rods. It's true meaning is and origin is unknown,
although it was probably a phallic emblem..

The fasces was a symbol of authority in ancient Rome. It
was later adopted by Mussolini's fascist party during World
War two, and is the origin of the word "fascist."

On early American coins and other symbols, it symbolizes
the unity of the colonies- a single stick may be broken, but
a number of sticks bound together cannot be.
