My suggestion of a registry was squashed so I really don't know 
A register for these notes -- at this time -- would not make a whole lot of sense due to the nature of the error and the way notes are printed. They are not in a contiguous run of notes, but rather in several distinct runs of
sheets. If you have one sheet of errors, that represents 45 distinct notes with numbers separated by 1000 or even more depending on where on the sheet the note is. Meanwhile, the adjacent sheets are normal, so you've got 45 error notes separated by 1000, with all shoulder notes being normal.
Right now, research is being conducted on this issue. Vast amounts of data are being collected to assist in this project. Not only is data on error notes being collected, but ALL BTT and BTU notes. You can see how a register would be thoroughly useless at this point as it would contain so much information. Restricting it to known error notes is also useless for any kind of research.
What I can say at this point is that there should be
hundreds of these errors in circulation. Several have been found. While I do not know the exact number of known notes, I estimate it to be approximately two dozen.
Collectors should be advised not to spend vast amounts of money to acquire such notes. Resist the current hype and wait for things to settle down. We saw the same sort of thing with BEL and BER-2003 notes and I expect that is what will happen here too: a huge price bubble for the first bit, and then suddenly the prices fall back down to more realistic ranges once more notes emerge from the woodwork.
