Mystery of 20 euro 'love note'
solved
31.08.15
THE mystery of an Irish
20 euro 'love note' that went viral last week has
been solved – and it's even more romantic than at
first thought.
Meath woman Denise O'Reilly was stunned to find a
€20 note in her purse last weekend with a message
that reads: "Christy, it's always been you! Come and
find me – Megan x".
Hopeless romantic Denise felt she should try and
reunite the seemingly thwarted lovers so she posted
a photo of the money and its wishful message on her
Facebook page.
The post was quickly shared almost 16,000 times as
followers went into a frenzy of speculation as to
the identity of the mystery protagonists Christy and
Megan.
Now it's been revealed that 'Megan' had not sent the
€20 longingly into the universe - reminiscent of
star-crossed lovers Sara and Jonathan in the 2001
movie 'Serendipity'. |

Love me tender. |
The Anton Savage Show
on Today FM managed to get in touch with Meath-born
musician Christy who explained everything to the
radio programme in an email:
“Megan was the name I used to call my ex-girlfriend.
We went out for a year and a half. The name arose
from when I misheard her name and thought she was
Megan for our first week of dating. Then it stuck,"
said Christy.
"I'm a musician and while we were going out, I wrote
her a song called 'It’s always been you.'
"We broke up, she met someone new. After I saw the
20 euro note on a Facebook post, I called her. She
told me she had written it on a note she used to pay
into one of my gigs about six months ago. I didn't
know she was there. She told me she thought I'd get
the cash directly but I obviously didn't. She took
it that I didn't want to talk." Christy also
revealed that the two are now back in touch again
thanks to the power of social media. |
