					Today was yet another decent €2 hunt.  I actually got quite a lot of

					11 new quarters were added to the collection today from a short
					vending-machine hunt at Miami-Dade College.  Of the 11 quarters, 9
					were state quarters and 2 were ‘America the Beautiful’ quarters.  The
					state quarters are: Colorado (P), Hawaii (D), Minnesota (P), Missouri
					(D), Montana (P), Nevada (P), New Jersey (D), New Mexico (P), and
					South Carolina (D).  The ‘America the Beautiful’ quarters are: Denali
					(P) and Apostle Islands (D).

					I also passed by a currency-exchange office and managed to exchange my
					€500 in cash for my first ever €500 bill.  It costed my new French
					€200 Europa note that I got from another currency-exchange, but
					getting €500’s is a lot harder so it’s worth it.  The €500 bill is
					German with the signature of Wim Duisenberg.

					I did another vending-machine hunt today.  It was a small hunt and got
					me 7 new quarters.  I got the 6 state quarters of: Maine (D & P),
					Michigan (P), Mississippi (D), Texas (D), and Washington (P).  I also
					got the ‘America the Beautiful’ quarter of Weir Farm (P).

					In bigger news, my coins from my swap with Jon have arrived.  He
					included all sorts of extra goodies but they aren’t relevant to this
					site so I won’t be listing them here.  The swap got me 11 new 1- and
					2-eurocent coins, a new American bicentennial coin, a new American
					Lincoln commemorative penny, 3 new NIFC Dollar coins, 3 new state
					quarters, 1 new district quarter, and finally 1 new ‘Westward Journey’
					nickel.

				p {-
					The eurocents included were: Germany 1c (2009-D & 2013-A), Germany 2c
					(2003-G, 2006-A, & 2006-D), Spain 1c (2002), Spain 2c (2009 & 2015),
					and France 1c (2007, 2010, & 2016).  The American bicentennial coin
					was a half-dollar from Denver.  The Lincoln penny was the ‘Birth and
					Early Childhood’ penny from Philadelphia.  One of the NIFC dollars was
					a native-american space-program dollar from Denver and the other two
					were presidential dollars: Chester Arthur (P) and John F. Kennedy (D).
					The state quarters were California (D), Pennsylvania (P), and Rhode
					Island (D).  The district quarter was my second district quarter so
					far, a Puerto Rico (P).  Finally, the ‘Westward Journey’ nickel was a
					Bison (D).

					Today was pretty successful.  I passed by Chase Bank near closing
					hours and it was a good thing I did too.  The customer right before me
					in the line to the teller deposited $10 in dollar coins.  I bought
					them from the bank and got two new finds: a ‘Great Law of Peace’
					native-american dollar from Philadelphia, and a Herbert Hoover NIFC
					presidential dollar from Philadelphia.

					I also hunted a printer (it accepts cash payment to print stuff).  I
					managed to get 5 new ‘America the Beautiful’ quarters, 5 new state
					quarters, my first ever districts quarter, and a new ‘Westward
					Journey’ nickel.  The ‘America the Beautiful’ quarters were: Block
					Island (P), Great Sand Dunes (D), Homestead (D),
					Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller (D), and War in the Pacific (P).  The state
					quarters were: Connecticut (P), Idaho (P), Massachusetts (P), Utah
					(P), and Wyoming (P).  The district quarter was American Samoa (D) and
					the nickel was a Bison (P).

					Finally I visited a currency-exchange office hoping to find my first
					€500 bill.  They didn’t have any but I managed to snag a French €200
					from the Europa series, a new find for myself.

					This is the start of the sites changelog.  The site has been around
					since the 11th of February 2023, and this collection began around
					April of 2022, so there's a lot of ‘history’ here that won’t end up
					documented.  If you @em{-really} care for some reason, you can check
					the git-log of the site on the
					@a href="https://git.thomasvoss.com/euro.thomasvoss.com"
					{-git repository}.  From now on I’ll be documenting all my new finds
					here both so I can look back on it in the future for fun, and in case
					anyone finds anything here interesting.  I suppose it makes the site a
					bit more human.

					I am currently in the United States on vacation, so the next couple of
