first of all: I don't know which bank you use: you put this sign: * in the comment field, or ?
secondly, as far as I know, in Germany, most of trackers go to Volksbank and not to Sparkasse (but i can be wrong: I really don't know exactly, it's only supposition), but that's less the problem: it's interresting to know that I dropped my bills on THURSDAY and you found them on SATURDAY: they had more that enough time to go to the central point (Hof ?) during that time, or ? By luck, they stayed there: very good or not ?
third:
- every tracker who is tracking more bills that "normal life" can bring up, made a hobby out of simple tracking: you and me are included in that number
- those "hobbytrackers" try to have the most:
- registered bills, even if it needs to go to banks, and/or take more than necessary bills in an atm
- hits (correct ones, of course)
- dots, also if you make often another track to go to the same place
- other interresting stuff like those regarding shortcodes, etc ....
- those "hobbytrackers" have a behaviour that differs from normal money spenders, in order to improve their results in their hobby (you and me too) in compliance with the rules and with the own feeling of "correctness" and "honesty".
- those "hobbytrackers" take petrol every few dozen of kilometers, taking 15€ petrol with a

or

to receive more bills back and having the dot
- those "hobbytrackers", when the tank is full and doesn't accept more than a few liters, buy 2 bottles of water or 1 box of cigarettes in every Raststätte and Autohof on their track
- those "hobbytrackers" in a shop pay big expenses with a big amount of small bills and small expenses with big bills.
- those "hobbytrackers" know where the hit ratio is the best all over Europe and do their best to visit those places, even if it costs time and/or money (those visits are not my private hidden secret: Math Murderer, Ashido44, and others were already in Helmbrechts, thatsme-p, Phaseolus, granaina, lArdennais, slabate, and many others were already in La Calamine : All of them "incognito" for the local user).
- in the Eurozone, it's possible to get rid easy from the excedentary bills by putting them in an in/out automat ot at the counter of the bank
- outside the Eurozone, you have to give your bills to people flying home after a visit, and to keep the bills collected after the last visit to carry them yourself home, trying to do the best out of those bills on your way home: after living 6 month in a semi-desert for trackers, it's fine to go back to the "hobbytracker" behaviour in the Eurozone.
Now if you consider my hits in Helmbrechts like "forced" or even "friendly" (I still ask myself how you can call the friendly) you should consider all "hobbytracker" behavior like "forcing" hits: taking more money as needed in atm or at the bank counter only to put them back afterwards, taking 4 times 10 liter of petrol instead of making full at one station, stopping a bit everywhere to have bills from there (look at Miles66 dotmap), buy bottles of water you'll need one week to drink, starting to count 40 bills of

when you have 200€ to pay and other paople are waiting in the file at the Kassa,
Sorry, but I don't understand why you can spend your money in Helmbrechts without marking them and why other would be obliged !!! especially as they don't come very often (for me, it's the first time after 5 years trying to include Helmbrechts in my trip !
I really
wonder as I could think the opposite: some "fresh" bills to avoid those daily boring Helmbrechts-Helmbrechts , with interresting flags , and,
above all, unexpected and not friendly at all !!
b.t.w. :it's nice that the bundles stayed together all those days: normally, banks send them away as soon as possible, I was already fearing that they disappeared from Helmbrechts during that time (........... and you didn't find all bills, missing 2 flags for now

)
