Hard to tell. It _is_ bowser after all.

But Google.ca does give a number close to it, 13,200, in fact.

However, it is quite obvious that he either didn't follow the links or

Either way, you admit that the 13,600, not 13,200, but the 13,600 links are there, right?

The non-existance of one-Euro notes has nothing to do with the case.

And you are rashly assuming that the magical pool-fillers won't
*create* one-Euro notes.

Are you suggesting that there weren't 38 results in total? Try counting

The answer varies by location, of course, and probably other factors.
Today there were only 35 results.

Google's estimated count is often wildly off.

I wonder what they count. When I search for "one euro note" (with
quotes), I am told there are "About 14,800 results (0.64 seconds)".

When I look at "Images for 'one euro note', I see that there are a LOT
of them. I gave up counting at 200.

Interestingly enough, while counting, I came across this image of a one
Euro note:

Click on Page 10 to see it.

Photoshop? Design never implemented? Used to be one, but now discontinued?

Yeah, but giving Google's number too much weight is something even an
English major can understand.
