Yeah, but I read somewhere that when a bill is destroyed they make a new one with the same serialnumber. I don't know if the shortcode and year will be the same. I presume not, but I'm certain the serialnumber will stay the same. Even if it's printed in another country.

The only place i read that was on this forum. I still have my doubts about that. Any other reference?

Yeah, it was me who has posted that then too. I've read it somewhere in a newspaper. Because at that moment I found it weird that they kept the serial of the country, but the explanation is simple: Otherwise they can't keep up how much money there is out there. If I find the time, I will search for that somewhere on the ECB website.

They should activate this url:
www.EBT.com 
Thats far more easier to write down on a bank note
But EBT.com is already in use
. Maybe www.€BT.com is possible
(
the euro sign isn't working €)

I try to promote this site by posting a
friendly message on other Dutch forums, using free SMS and sites like
www.asl.to. Just to make people curious
More promotion = more changes for a hit ...
I don't know if it works but the last days, more Belgians are registrating
Do you know how to get into the top 10 list of best Referers

or it's a new "adept" of EBT and the gift for his entry in the "EBT sect" it's a marked bill
Yeps, bill is mine, and I write indeed the URL down.

I got the notification mail some moments ago...
I have been writing down the URL on the bills from the start on, early february. After a while I even wrote it on both sides of the bill, allthough I figured out recently that might be counterproductive.
If the URL is too eye-catching, chances are high people will be unwilling to pass it on even further, thinking the person receiving it will not accept it. So they'll probably spend it in the bank or so, where they'll take it out of circulation.
Nowadays I write the URL rather discretely in the margin on one side again, the less decorated side where the serial number is.
Anyway I'm glad with my first hit!

Ha! it seems to work if you place the url on the bill. I've tried a few but none of them did come back. Well, I think I gonna try a few more...

I noticed that this hit has been moderated. So it was just a fake one. ------>

I suppose Airis is talking about the hit that is the topic of this thread... right?

It seems so.
AFAIK it doesn't look like it should be moderated. Marsupilami1000 could have marked the URL on the bill. gerd only entered 10 bills, all on 26/7/2002, the day he joined.
