Characteristics

EuroBillTracker (EBT) is an international non-profit volunteer team dedicated to tracking Euro notes around the world. The site is made up of people who simply enter the information from the notes in their wallet. Each user enters the serial numbers and location information for each note they obtain into EuroBillTracker. A user can then see any comments from other people who have had that note. From this information, the site extracts:

Diffusion information: Each Euro country has its own range of note serial numbers and from this information EBT can generate diffusion graphs that tell us how the notes travel to other countries. See the Diffusion section for more information.
Tracking information: When a note is re-entered, the users who previously entered it are notified via email. These hits can be seen in the statistics section.
Statistics and rankings: Who enters the most notes, which are the best countries? Where are the notes currently situated?

Euro banknotes and coins were put into circulation on January 1 2002 and EBT has been tracking notes since then. The site was initially created by Philippe Girolami (giro). Anssi Johansson (avij) has been assisting with running the site since mid-2003. Site translation and various other tasks are handled by a group of active EBT users.

EuroBillTracker is in no way affiliated with European Union, European Central Bank, national central banks or other financial institutions. Using EBT is completely free.
