My brother went to Lommel and Zonhoven in Northern Belgium and the German city of Aachen last weekend and sent me some billdata he collected there.
103 dots on my europe map (incl. Israel)
1 dot on my world map (Indonesia) (not very visible......)
That makes a total of
104 dots!

So he went to the garage sales as well?
I have 42 dots on the European map and 1 more on the world map.
31 dots are mine, the other 12 are from helping relatives.

Hmm, so that is why you have so many notes!
I always log the note as the place I received it, not where the note comes from. This way I know I have been every place my notes have been. I could get people to send me notes from Australia or Brazil, but feel that would be slightly unfair. Ah well, there's bound to be two opinions on this subject.

Of course it's a matter of opinion, but I really agree with fjon here. I could easily have notes from all over the world.
In fact, I don't even have notes of all the places I've actually been to, unfortunately, because I couldn't get them: Milton Keynes, London and Reading (UK), Duved and others (Sweden), plus a lot of towns in Portugal.

I know lots of people who get billdata from someone they know on a piece of paper. In the way you are saying these are all doubtfull entries.
In a matter of speaking i would be cheating a bit. In that case i know of alot cheaters myself. Well if that is your opinion you should delete from the EBT-Dots list.
I only get incidentally some billdata from my brother. 99.96% of my notes really has gone thru my own hands. I have so many notes because i go to the ATMs alot and get loads of fivers and then exchange them at shops or bring them back to a bank.
I travel alot and love to make dots as i travel. You can read that in my travel comments in this thread and others. In fact i am going to the Finnish meeting by car so that i can make a trace of dots as i travel and score east european countries on my way. Call me mad, that part is true.
I don't like being called a cheater but if you doubt me then delete me from the rankings.

Hey, Bennie
At least as far as I'm concerned, I was not implying you're a cheater!
In fact, I think that registering notes of places where I haven't been is sort of cheating, yes, but of course you're free to do it as you like and I'm very glad you have so many dots, even though a very small part of them do not correspond to places where you have actually been.
At least those notes were REALLY in those places, and that's the most important. Real cheating would be, for example, for me to pick some notes I got from my regular supermarket in Lisbon and register them in Milton Keynes, just because I've been there and haven't had the chance to get euros there.
Cool, Bennie, you deserve your ranking position, man!

I wouldn't call that a problem, just ask them to send them the notes' serialnumbers etc.
