The best part in Receivng the PIN was that i easily viewed the PIN without opening the so called SEAL that Google had taped over that piece of PAPER!!!
i was on adsense since january, no pins, money goes straight into my account, wonder why all new people have to have the pin, something must have happened. or its just a way for them to hold onto the money for longer, think of the interest they earn on the money for all publishers if they hold it longer.
