Three emails to the German postal folks and not a single reply. I'm assuming that they are gone. I have created some ebay searches to scan for the notes.

I'll start a different thread and post the scans of the notes before they were sent off to Europe and disappeared. I'm terribly sorry that this happened.

It would get interesting if they showed up on eBay!

Well if they show up on ebay we can mark a rat.

This is the list of Short Snorterites who have yet to receive the package for signing. If you wish to receive the package, I will need a PM confirming this along with a valid and sustainable address to which US mail can be delivered. The package will be shipped from Florida to Europe registered with signature required, and should be shipped from participants to others in the same manner. When the package is to be returned to the US, it should be shipped Registered with signature required. I hope that everyone can agree to this. The potential loss is too great to for a repeat performance.

I will send the package off as soon as possible and will catch it up with the mailing list when each person has confirmed.

Thanks for your cooperation.

PM sent

These are the original folks who were in Short Snorter 06.

So far I have only gotten responses to the completion part of the program from T_3, Sir Sisu, and Spain_number1. The snorters are in the air on their way to T_3. Quick responses would be appreciated.

Keep on 'em Art

Small prayers are answered. . . . .

The Short Snorters are now in the vault of the local post office, I can pick them up tomorrow

A vault? I'm impressed by the Netherland's postal security.

We only have a guy that drinks Koskenkorva that stops people with the horrendous stench of his breath.

Will you notice that if you've had koskenkorva yourself???

I've been a night out in Finland and I don't think there was a single person who didn't drink at least 5 or 6 shots of koskenkorva....

they're here!!

So in final the German Post has find the notes?

Oh, yes! Thanks God! (and German Post too!)
I hope I am stil on the list...

They're signed and will go on their way to Suomi tomorrow

They're now in the hands of the Dutch postal system

Good to hear that they did not get lost. By the way, international tracking does not work with all countries. For example, if you mail a registered letter (Einschreiben/Recommandé) from Germany, using Deutsche Post, cross-border tracking is possible for ten countries only. These include e.g. Canada, but not the US.

For any destination beyond Germany and those ten, all I can find out via online tracking is that the letter left the "realm" of Deutsche Post. That even applies to the Benelux countries ...

And they arrived here today. I just returned from the post office with the package.

I need to make one of those visited countries maps for my Banc EireAnnais note

At least she gets to visit Finland! Wish I could soon, but I think Japan is going to be my last country gone to, and the next visited since I did not see enough back in April.

If you make it out to Kyoto-shi, send greetings to my cousin please.


I will have these out on Monday. I have my first exam tomorrow and have been studying for it. Trying to wind down here before I hit the hay. I have not even got around to opening the package.

I posted the above message in the Virtual Banknote Museum and not here where it is more appropriate.

YES!!!!! i just received the short snorters 2006 from Sir Sisu, they come a little bit cold( its normal from finland) im gonna start to sign in an hour!!! i will say to you how are the banknotes!!!!

Final notice. I have not received confirmation from anyone else that they want to receive the notes and are capable of receiving Registered Mail - something that can be tracked - and are willing to send them on in the same manner. If you are still on the list and want to participate and can meet these conditions (for the safety of the notes), please pm me.

Any updates?

No recent updates. The notes should be somewhere between Alfonso and ScottishMoney on the next to last leg of their journey.

They haven't found me yet

Maybe we should try putting them in the cd rom drive in the future and sending them as an attachment to an email. . . . .

Sorry for hadnt reply before, lot of exams at high school!!! There re on the way to Dave by registered mail!!!!

Hey DAVE!!!! You got them yet. . .

No.

This is the really discouraging part of this process. I'll PM Alfonso and we'll have to start the tracking process.

Sorry to hear the package is MIA again.

It seems our package has the worst luck. Next time we're putting a locating device in it!

I had two registered slips in my post box this morning, both from Iberia, and importantly the large one has Spanish stamps on it! They are here!

And from sunny Portugal I got a lot of Little Misses from an eBay purchase.

Yeah!!!! they finally arrive safely!!! Nice to hear that scottishmoney haha!!!!

They are on their way again this morning. I got to be last in line due to my having to travel to Asia during the Spring, but I got to sign them with something I had made by a carver there.

Made? sound dangerous.

It is a chop stamp with my name in ancient Chinese characters.

You signed with a chop stick? You didn't eat with it first did you?

I do eat many of my meals with chopsticks though.

The ShortSnorters have arrived safely. On my next day off, I will scan them for the CoinPeople website and then package them and return them to their original owners. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this another successful ShortSnorter project. I really treasure mine and hope others feel the same.

If your mailing information has changed please send me a PM with the corrections to insure your notes are returned without problem.

Thanks.

It only took what....about 9.5 months to complete the Short Snorter trip?

Wonder how many miles these notes have traveled?

What is the latest info on when the distribution will be??

I have been waiting until I have some time off to get them done. It takes quite a bit of time to package each note and do the addressing and such. Couple that with Christmas prep and a general tendency toward procrastination and you get ------ walla! Sometime next week.

Better to delay than send them with the Christmas rush and wonder where they went for weeks on end.

That's what I was thinking. With the Christmas rush of mail still going on, I'd wait until after the New Year.

Doesn't bother me one bit! At least I know the note will get here.

Update please. . . .

Nothing to update. Sometime this week I'll get them repackaged and shipped back to their original "owners".

Thanks for all your hard work with this Art!
