No response so far.. Perhaps sending it by fax would be better?

was it long ago or very recently?

Shall we also target other magazines, like Gwida, Tune in or Sunday Circel ezempju?

From 28th January to 14th February..
Yes I think it's a good idea.
If you want you can contact them yourself as I am quite busy this weekend with a course I'm doing.

This was the text I sent in English
"PRESS RELEASE ABOUT THE WEBSITE www.EuroBillTracker.com
Would you like to know where your euro notes have been before they got to you? And afterwards?

Did you ever imagine that the 5 Euronote that you paid with at the shop was printed in Germany and before it came here in Malta it was used in Italy too? With this website it is easy to know which countries the money you have passed through.

With the website www.EuroBillTracker.com, you can know all of this.

In this site after you register for free, you can enter serial numbers of your Euronotes.
More than 121,000 persons from all over the world enter Euronotes which are in their possession to see if the same notes end up in someone else's possession.

Around 40,000 banknotes are entered everyday to the system, and from these, around 250 already have been entered on the site by someone else previously.
Until now there have been occasions where euronotes which have been in Malta have been found by other members, both Maltese and foreigners abroad."

And this is the Maltese text:
"PRESS RELEASE DWAR is-Sit EUROBILLTRACKER.COM

Thisis the mail that I got from a journalist from Malta in the bginning of January and no Maltese had yet answered my request to contact him.

Now, if someone could do it ?

"Dear Mr xxx,

I would like to learn more about your interesting hobby, which will surely be of interest to our readers, especially as a good number might take up this hobby.

I would like to know who started this hobby, and why did he do it. I would also like to know whether any banknotes have been tracked in Malta and how many people, grouped by nationality have taken up this hobby.

Best regards,

Bernard Busuttil

Journalist

The Malta Independent

I did send the press release to the same newspaper actually.

Who shall take care of this, Doctorwho? You or myself?

I'll take care of it myself.

ok, sorry, I had not seen your post.

I had the journalist on the phone ; and really he was interested he wanted to meet Maltese users ; you can call him and propose a meeting with him for discussing and showing him a bit of EBT...

Just dare, you'll see it's big fun to explain to journalist our hobby : they just love that kind of stories !
