Hi! I've got a screenshot of two hits which include the exact same 2 people and both have a period of about a day and a bit. It seems suspiciously a lot like a note being swapped IRL between two EBT users. Found the two hits by opening the hits page of Sofia, Bulgaria. I also mentioned this case today in the EBT Discord server :)

Just curious, but is this common practice and okay to do? I've had the same idea multiple times, but I didn't think it was allowed..

Unfortunately, it is common practice… I wish stefanlip would have pm me or any of the knowledgeable folks here. There are more than a handful EBTors willing to help in finding the shortcode for a certain serial number. If you read this, stefanlip, it's always a good time to edit an entry. Keeping the correct printer codes will help keeping the databse clean and correct stats.

As to registering banknotes from tip jars or donation boxes, it is totally allowed and even encouraged — as long as you can see the printer code or, at least, know with complete confidence, how to extract it from the serial number (sometimes, it is simply not possible unless you printed the banknote yourself and photographed it :roll: ).
