It could be totally innocent, but there are people who would use their children

Allow me to mention this fund-raising initiative by a person I "know" from another forum. He is raising money to buy used cars that he then works on briefly before donating them to people who lost everything in the recent floods in Germany:

Eurobilltracker - it must have been about 20 year since I joined
The first thing I ever did on the internet - using a modem - those were the days

I often wondered if it would be possible to create an automated variant, where people could pass along tokens in stead of bills - and where these tokes would be passed on from user to user, and you could follow them in their tracks 8O

About 15 months ago I started playing this location based game
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... pp.badgers

Only now I realize this game has some similarity with the eurobilltracking concept

Some more information in this reddit post

Absolutely brilliant concept. Have fun!

I don't really know where else to post this, so...

From November 18 to December 19, I kept a close eye - or tried to - on the statistics for Qatar. My goal was to check the stats once a day everyday, but I ended up forgetting on a number of days :lol: it doesn't really matter, as the big sporting event that took place there did not have an effect on its EBT profile - in fact, it went backwards! Between Nov .18 and Dec. 8, the figures remained unchanged at 6 hits and 520 notes. At some point between the 9th and the 17th, one hit was deleted (5, 520, 104 hit ratio).

I don't really have a point for all of this, I was just hoping the World Cup would have some sort of positive effect in this far-away non-euro area country.

Hi, this is the only place I found where - I believe - this question would fit.
Basically, I am going to the US flying from Spain and I plan to exchange some Euros into Dollars. I am interested in bringing as many :note-5: and :note-10: to the exchange bureau so that the travellers coming after me get them when exchanging and can distribute those notes so that I - hopefully - obatin some exotic hits. However, I also thought that the bureau may bring to the bank all those :note-5: and :note-10: and then my hopes of getting some hits will be gone. Consequently, I thought that maybe bringing :note-50: or :note-20: to the exchange bureau would be better as they stay for longer in circulation.

Also, where do you think I should exchange that money? In Spain or in the US?

If anybody is willing to help me, I would be thank it a lot.
