A correspondent reports the 1st class gold counter sheet (no source code) has now appeared with security code MA10, and a printing date of 10/03/10. It appears that these have been in stock for 2weeks.
As BM has pointed out "The security slits on this new printing now have nicks in the top and the bottom of the slit. This brings them into line with Walsall booklet printings."
But look around now for the 2nd class!
