That is easy to spot when looking at someone's posting history.

We're currently in Spain. We've been here a couple of weeks. We brought a 10 € bill with us that we had at home. Still have 6€ after using 4 for laundry. As the rest of our rentals have washing machines I doubt we'll use the rest of our cash.
