Indeed, the first hit happened after a little more than a month, on the 11th of February to be precise:

https://eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=5924 = https://eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=9189
EBTor ID=683 MecG 2002-02-11 18:28:46 :flag-nl: Zwolle 8032 Eerder gerigistreerd door een Ier
EBTor ID=279 molenari 2002-02-05 20:10:06 :flag-nl: Leeuwarden 8918DH No idea where I got it from. Guess from Leeuwarden
Distance = 80 km, interval = 5 days

This was announced on the forum by giro = EuroBillTracker = Philippe Girolami, the creator of the original website himself. Apparently, he didn't count the very first and certainly uninteresting hit I mentioned before.

More than 9000 notes had been registered. Over 850 users had already joined. Some of them are still active.

Some of those 9000 notes would be found again later.

This answers your question. Apart from that uninteresting first hit, the real first one was this:

https://eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=720 = https://eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=30347691
EBTor ID=106200 Inserv 2007-05-10 20:00:46 :flag-de: Heiligenhaus 42579 Bankautomat
EBTor ID=104 hessi 2002-01-15 16:23:20 :flag-de: Germering 82110 ATM
Distance = 474 km, interval = 1941 days

The answer is 720. 8)

This hit was commemorated on the forum (although under a suspicion veil, which didn't hold — Inserv joined in 2007, got that amazing hit on the very day they joined, and they are still active!).


Notes 1133, 1276, 1363, and 1500 were hits too. I stopped hunting for hits at note 2000… :roll:
