EURO BILL TRACKER REACHES 1 000 000 REGISTERED BILLS
EURO BILL TRACKER REACHES 1 000 000 REGISTERED BILLS
Paris, France -- August 11, 2003 -- The top Euro bill tracking site has announced that it is now tracking a total of over 1 000 000 Euro bills, registered on the site by users from various countries, mainly from the Euro zone. The millionth note was a German 5€ note which was found in the Netherlands, Capelle aan den IJssel. The idea behind the website is very simple: see how the bills travel around the world and give users a chance to find out where their bills have been and where they go. A more scientific aspect of the site is the diffusion section where monthly charts show how the proportion of foreign bills increases with time in each country. In order for this to happen, users enter the information about the bills they have and indicate where they got each bill. If the bill is already in the database, the previous users who have entered that bill are notified via email. The success of the site in so many European countries is probably due to the fact that the site was designed to be multilingual from the start. The site is available in all Euro-zone languages thanks to a group of translators who give their time and assistance to the site. ----- ABOUT EUROBILL TRACKER * Information about the eurobilltracker.com project is available at http://www.eurobilltracker.com/index.php?referer=1535 * Diffusion of Euro bills is available at http://www.eurobilltracker.com/diffusion * The Eurobilltracker website was inspired by the 4-year old Where's George website (www.wheresgeorge.com) but hopes to go beyond its big brother. The site went online on January 1st, 2002 to coincide with the introduction of the Euro in European countries. * Project Statistics as of August 11, 2003: 12 729 users 1 015 103 bills, 25 674 570 € 391 double bill entries 51 participating countries |
