Heres a translation of what the doctor meant (he is correct). 03/08 is the "F" / "Fab" or Fabrication/Made date.
"V" or "Ven" is the Expiry date which means "went" or expired in Spanish. Mine are marked V08/08 F 03/08 - didnt see the V#'s at first as they directly follow serial #'s on the packs.
Apologies to the Good Dr A. - he is sending fresh V's.
