afeht one of the posters several years ago posted information about the Hungarian three hole punches. I have the information he posted about which stamps have the punches (I'll post below), but can't find the information on their background. From what I recall, the post office punched the perfin in some stamps (I think two rows of stamps from the sheets) to reduce theft.
Below is the information on which stamps have the perfin.

5. 1921/25 Porto(Postage dues) issue;
These postage due stamps are the surcharge in red harvester stamps, 1921/1925, also know as Provisional postage due stamps.
The following are the only three stamps that don't have the triangle punch, all of the rest do. The three without are;
100f/15f, 500f/15f, and 3K/15f. Subtract these from the set of 24 and you have 21 with triangle punch. I also forgot to add the
conversion rate from Forint to US dollar for set values given. It's 1USdollar=230 HUF(Hungarian Forint).
The Hungarian Katalogue doesn't give a value for this set, figure on double the regular sets value.
6. 1915 postage due with the green background and red numerals. There is a total of 9 stamps with the 3 hole and they are as
follows;10f,20,40,50,120,200,2k,5 and 50.
Total of 9 values
Total values = 100
