So Why Yugoslavia?? There isnt really any such place any more, is there? ..... So: If these points are true, this is either a Clue, or a Red Herring. But it is something. Something Confusing.

Hee Hee Vibration! Ahh funny, I know exactly how you feel. My GFs family are old school Croatians, so I know a bit about the region (albeit from a fairly biased Cro P.O.V) but I do know that many - if not a majority of Serbians still refer to Serbia (and aligned states) as Yugoslavia. It does seem incongruous for a UK based company to refer to it thus, however.

 		More writing on cards spec
I'm not exactly sure what trouting is but I feel this post might be guilty. Anyway here's my spec do with it what you will.

*All* the cards have hidden info on them.

Starting with the most obvious - Japan. The currency isn't shown that makes the easily visible "MarkCity" sign new information, since it allows us to determine the location of the 'photo.

The Euro one has the 'Jugoslavia" text which started this thread.

The USD one uses a strage font with 'cuts' in the top and bottom of the letters. These cuts tend to come in singles or pairs. This might suggest **trout** binary or morse code. I've investigated both and not found anything. The coding is far from ambigious - this might suggest it is nothing, it might suggest that my analysis missed something.

The GBP sticker has lots of extraneous dots, particularly around the top line "Lost. the cube". Might this suggest stego? Stegdetect didn't find anything. Is there another readable version of the sticker on the web? There is one on Perplexcity.com right now but you can't see the relevant part of the GBP sticker. If we could find another version and determine the differences the stego might be obvious.

 		Just for clarifying - a trout is a friendly, toungue-in-cheek way of saying "Hey, great thinking and glad to have you here, but you might want to check an earlier post..."

Meaning that is has already been posted.

Which also means you did not earn a trout...
