What did I get during my trip to Paris (and Barcelona)
Notes I bring from my trip to Paris and Barcelona, hunting down the total solar eclipse (I was successful - and believe me, it cannot be described by photographs or words, it has to be seen in person). Also got few from Germany I bought when waiting between trains. While in Paris there is a lot of them (and cheap), Spain was a great disappointment. The only one I got there was the one from the football stadium in Barcelona (Camp Nou). In the city centre - nothing. Madrid - also nothing (I asked in maybe a dozen stores in the city centre).
At the Eiffel Tower, the vending machine gave me actually a note with the "10 years anniversary" yellow print, but I decided to exchange it in the store for a regular one. I know those prints in theory may make the note more valuable/rare but I just doesn't like it's aesthetic - it looks like something that just doesn't belong on the note and it IMO is breaking the clean design of the notes (on the other hand - golden holograms are perfectly fine and I like them). For same reason't I wouldn't buy any colored note like the football ones.
