Where Slovenia’s euros are traveling to.

EuroBillTracker is:

“…an international non-profit volunteer team dedicated to tracking Euro notes around the world. Each user enters the serial numbers and location information for each note they obtain into EuroBillTracker.”

Basically, i’s like the European version of Where’s George?

There obviously aren’t too many entries for Slovenia yet, at least compared to a country like Germany, which is basically one gigantic, indecipherable smudge.

Interestingly, you can also break things down by city, so you can follow euros from Ljubljana, Maribor, Koper, Murska Sobota, etc..

So far, the site has tracked an astounding half a billion euros. I created an account and entered a 20-euro bill: it immediately told me that it was an Italian note, printed by Banca d’Italia in Rome. My inner geek smiled.

Now we’ll see where it goes.
