I was looking at BookCrossing, and they mentioned "Where's George" as a source of inspiration. The Where's George site had a link to EBT, and so here I am!

Me too! I found Where's george, then started using Where's Willy (I am Canadian, eh!). When I started planning a trip to Ireland, I looked for a link on Where's George and came up with EBT!

A magazine (MikroBitti) is where I found it. It was actually about a year ago, and since then I've been reading this forum every now and then, but only now I have gathered enough courage :mrgreen: to join... well, actually that's because I'm not a "real" eurobilltracker because I only collect coins, but... you know, last week I got an Irish 1 euro coin and now I have at least one denomination from each EMU country and I needed to spit it out... :P

I can't really remember... :oops:

I guess it was by accident, like Niloc. I've got a lot of regular sites, but sometimes it's nice to just go surfing along, having a look here and there. You find the most amazing sites that way!

Well, my story how I got here is quite a hit itself.
On the christmas holiday I was bored and started to surf in the internet against my habits: usually I just "sit" in the forums I have found and don't jump to anywhere else.
I remembered a site –for youngsters of the area in northeast Finland (I live in south)– that somebody had told me earlier, and went there.
I started to browse the forum and found an advertisement of EBT by "some standard ponu-user" (or so I thought) and got interested.

At this point I have found my way here, but the story goes on..

EBT went to my Favourites-list, and I surfed on.
I found a list of contributions that different groups had done and found among some other familiar site- and forumnames eurobilltracker's name, and remembered I've seen it before.
I returned (t)here and entered a couple of notes and that was that.
I was hooked and of course I had to come to the forum also, and what do I find from here? A boy from my school! (Dakkus)
But that's not all, after a while I find out, that it was Dakkus who wrote the message to the ponu-forum! 8O
When coming to think of it, my way here was a sum of many unlike coincidences, because it doesn't happen every day that you find someone who you know from a forum that is ment to people who live hundreds of kilometres away. :D World (wide web) really is small.

I found the site because it was mentioned in a quessbook from the Lycos Quisshow. This show has stopped unfortunately but now I can spend my time by sending serialnumbers to EBT.
I think it's really nice to do this and I hope soon to have my second hit.

I got it from somebody who found it a funny idea and put it in the Belgian 1000-poot discussion board. I believe about 5 or 6 people signed in from reading that message :D

I found a marked note while on Holidays in the USA. Logged that note and found the link to EBT there.

This is loads of fun!! I think I'm addicted. . . . .
