N0W1K gave me the bill today, because I want it to my collection. And, I gave her another (circulated) 10 € Trichet. She kept the note some days because I said her that I wanted to keep the note.

Certainly, these two hits, are NOT interesting. We change directly the notes this morning. :cry:

Second note has been moderated yet. But not the first.

it could mean that he works in a bank, if so, it is easy to get a big amount of notes. take a new bundle of bills check the first and the last number and when the printercode didnt change you can enter the whole range of bills.

but if he a FAKEtracker, it is only a question of time when he got a hit inside his serials.

I don't anymore believe in this because the order of hit entries is so odd and crazy. He's just generating those serials, that's all. :x

Ultrarare notes - real or fake?

Post by Licht & Feuer »

Hi there!
I wonder if really every printer-code can be found on each note as the table suggests.
Were there really (for example) very small quantities of 5 € notes printed in Athens for issue in Germany or in Vantaa for Spain as the table suggests 8O ? At least it seems not very econommic to me and the fact that nearly all the "very rare" entries were made by the same user doesn't make it more plausible...
Has anybody informations about which printer worked for which country or how the procedure works that brings the bills from the facility to the issuing country? Can you recommend a catalogue which lists all existing varieties?
I guess it would be helpful for preventing fake-entries if it is known which printer-code fits which serial-numbers.
Thanks alot in advance for your help and best regards from Germany,
Lars

Those oddities are almost completely mistakes.
It's not possible banning specific printer-serial combinations, because the printers change all the time according to who gives the best price. So, even if some printer-serial pair would be impossible now, those notes might start appearing later. And then the users must be able to enter the notes.
And besides, we don't even want to make it impossible to enter fake serials. If we would, the fakers would find their ways around the barricades. Now they are quite easy to spot and after they're entered a certain amount of serials (spending hours and hours creating those numbers) their entries can be deleted. That's so frustrating for the fakers that many cheaters will probably stop cheating after such a punishment.
So, we let the idiots think no one has noticed them and then after a while we'll give them a nice kick in the ass :)

Is this hit just a chance? The user names are so close to each other.
