Euro banknote serialnumber

ZERO DEPENDENCIES

This module will verify/validate that a given serial number is a valid Euro banknote serial number.

The list of allowed country codes (and corresponding checksum digits) can be found in this wikipedia page.

I converted this to javascript from an old C assignment I did at university, see /old_c/checksum.c.
