Donationboxes at Cathedrals, etc

askmenaught · Post by **askmenaught** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 4:12 pm

Suggestion: Encourage cathedrals and others (e.g., St-Denis and Notre-Dame in Paris, Kölner Dom in Germany, etc.) to put a sign on their donation boxes: "We will enter all euro bills received as donations with www.eurobilltracker.com, and all US bills with www.wheresgeorge.com. or the equivalent in the local language. Why? If the donation recipients actually do this, it could greatly increase hits on eurobilltracker and wheresgeorge.com, which would be nice for us. It would also be nice for the donation recipients, however, as it would provide additional incentive for people to donate (and more than just a euro or two), especially if this policy were to become widely known. Just a suggestion. If you agree, please consider making the suggestion to the cathedral (etc.) of your choice, or to your local landmark.

The hits have some kind of fakeness in it I think...
And there aren't EBT-ers who visit such cathedrals etc every day, so I also think it won't give any effect on the daily hit statistics.....

The only way to do it is enter lots of more notes, and btw, if an EBT'er can see some of the notes in a donation box, they will be entered by him/her

believe it or not, but two weeks ago I was at Eindhoven Airport, and I saw a

inside a donation box!!!

it was folded, so I didn't get to read the codes.

Some people really seem to have money.

The biggest ones I have seen were 50ers, it was in a very small box in a pet shop, with the text "put here your small change money"
