Yeah, it's weird, but i got lot's of new Belgian notes (20 EUR) till May, now when i take money, i get more and more used notes, but still lots of Belgians, a few Dutch and French... Guess there is still hope for me... :?

Another solution could be withdrawing the money where you live :twisted:

Maybe you have more luck at places near the borders or at touristic places. The Zolder racetrack is not too far - go there after an international race.
Of course, Brussels will be fine or Brugge, which is the European cultural capital this year. I left 3 X notes there... :D

Here are my percentages:

I allways search for eurobills from other countries in Emmen (near Germany) and with a popular Zoo visited by thousands of tourists...)
Also Groningen has been visited by the Giro dÍtalia and Assen had de TT (motorracing)...

I mostly buy a icecream or a tin of cola (with a 50 or 20 eurobill to get bills in return... :lol: to get many banknotes in return of course..

1: Netherlands 47,5 %
2: Germany 20,3 %
3: Austria & France 6,2 % (both popular holiday destinations)
4: Belgium 6,1 %
5: Italy 6,0 %
6: Spain 3,9 %
7: Portugal / Greece 2,8 %
8: Ireland 2,3 % (visit the Irish pubs!! :lol: )
9: Finland 0,8 %

My first Greek bill I received on the island Ameland, I had a real happy day there :lol: :lol:

I thougt bills from finland would never come to Holland, but last week I received 2 bills in a hamburgershop!! :wink:
If you don't like traveling, just watch where your Eurobill goes and let the banknote do the travelling for you!!
