Stamped notes

I think I've stamped about 10 or 15 notes to see what would happen, but they seem to have disappeard... No hits with stamped notes so far

Maybe I just need to stamp more, I haven't stamped any for a long time.

I stamped about 500 of them, starting more than two years ago, and only 5 were entered

Moreover, none of those 5 people became a regular user.

Today I got a stamped note. The stamp said: COULD SOMEBODY ELSE USE ME BETTER?

Seems to be some "interactive art" project. Here are images of another one: http://interactingarts.org/moneystamping/gallery.html

The gallery actually has a picture of this "Could somebody else ..." stamp. Maybe some initiative for people in need? Unfortunately the comment does not say where that stamp came from.

The idea of making a special stamp is however quite great. The note will stay a lot longer in circulation when the stamp is only one long line instead of three shorter ones.

A picture of such stamp:

I think a stamp like that can be built py cutting a normal Lidl-/Aldi-stamp into smaller pieces and then glueing those pieces to a piece of wood.
If I find a suitable piece of wood, I will probably make my stamp one line high :)

Welll... one out of 100 is not a bad hit ratio, especially not for Italy

But I got no hits at all out of the other 1600 or so notes I entered

It's definitely "group", but the upper text is too messy to read. "Widows Group", maybe? Well, perhaps not, because the first letter looks like "M". Has anyone seen something like this before?

Today I have found this banknote with the same stamp!

Wow, they must be fairly common then!

Are there any Irish EBTers who know what it means?

Wow, finding such stamps all around the Europe!

What are the odds for that?

This is pretty interesting. I hope someone is able to clarify this to us...

Funnily enough I have never seen such a note, and have no idea what it could be!
