Old Google AdSense PIN Letter – Macedonia (2015)

This is a real Google AdSense PIN letter sent to Skopje, Macedonia in August 2015.

The letter contains a 6-digit PIN (021003) used to verify the creator's address so they could receive payments from their YouTube channel via wire transfer.

 

In 2015, YouTube monetization was much more accessible – no subscriber or watch hour minimums.

Creators could earn money directly after enabling AdSense, and all earnings were tracked inside AdSense, not YouTube Studio.

 

This is a piece of internet and YouTube history, showing how things were done before the platform became heavily restricted.

 

Country: Macedonia (FYROM)

PIN issued: August 2015

Payment method: Wire Transfer

First payout: €165 received in local bank, no fees
