How did you find the Eurobilltracker site?
A user in the Dutch forum (wouter) suggested we should have a poll about this, so here it is.

I don't even remember how I got here!
It was at the end of may, and exams were comming closer and closer..
And because I always get extremely bored during exam weeks, I looked for foreign euro coins on the Internet.
(I never study much, so I had a lot of time back then :p)
I don't know exactly where I got this link, but I liked the concept.
And although the site was extremely slow at that moment (due to a Ddos-attack, I think), I still registered and began to enter my notes.
And a few days later I discovered this forum, and I'm still addicted

Before the Euro banknotes hit the market, I knew of a site called www.wheresthemoney.nl.
I thought once the Euro was there they would change into tracking Euro banknotes. Even up till now they did not make the change.
So early January I visited their site. But nothing changed. Somewhere in the middle of January I found EBT in their forum. I searched for other sites too, but no site was tracking Euro banknotes at that time, although some had this intention.
The week after I first discovered EBT I joined and started tracking.

Somebody (from NCB of Finland or from Finnish printer) told in the first days of January in an interview that a note he had wasn´t printed by Finnish Setec. He said that the printing quality was not as good and laughed. (Probably it was 50 € printed in UK. )
Since then I looked always the serial numbers of my bank notes, but all started with L.
Then in March I got this note.
The serial number started with a letter X. I used google to get more information. I ended up to a Greek site and there was a banner of EBT. I followed it.
I didn't enter this German note during my first visit. Later in the same day I got also an Italian and a Spanish 20 € banknote from an atm. I came back and entered first this German note anonymously. Then I joined and entered the rest of the banknotes. I like this very much.

In januari, I was interested, how the banknotes from Germany would integrate in the Dutch banknote circuit and I had discovered, that Germany had x notes and Holland had P notes.
So I started looking at all my notes for x or p on it...
I was looking and discovering new banknotes from Austria (n) (from a collegue on Wintersport) Italian (received from someone I had contact with on the internet) and a unknown code (v) received from someone in Canada...and I started to get curious what the V would stand for...
I asked the European Bank in the end of Januari, by e-mail, how to see the differences on the banknotes and received a list and explanations....
After that, I was looking at all my notes and discovered Spanish, French and Belgian banknotes...
I liked the tracking game, but had no idea, how to start any statistics....
Than in September, the newspaper had this article about EBT...
I wished I had known about EBT earlier...

If you don't like traveling, just watch where your Eurobill goes and let the banknote do the travelling for you!!
I saw a link in a Finnish computer magazine's 'Picked from the web' section. They didn't like the site and called it waste of time or something like that, but U git interested about the idea and so I surfed in and registred right away because it was so easy and inserted my first notes.
But it took me three months of Eurobilltracking before I visited this forum first time
