Hi
I am not sure if I am missing something, once again.
The sentence “Ich hab leider nur einen Zehneuroschein.”
Is it meant to be hab or is this an error?
Thanks Maxie

Hi Maxie
It's common to drop the “e” in the first person when speaking in an informal situation, so "hab" is not a mistake here. You wouldn't normally do it in a formal situation or when writing.

Hi Simon
Thanks. Have come across mistakes in Rocket, not in German, but in the Italian. Have added several languages to my repetoire, but not in Rocket. Am attempting Russian on another site, but that may be beyond me.
Take Care

Hallo Maxie und Simon,
Thank you for helping out Simon! You're exactly right, in informal situations in spoken language, the e is often left out. Other examples are:
Ich mach Hausaufgaben. - I'm doing homework.
Ich flieg nach Berlin. - I'm flying to Berlin.
Viele Grüße,
Julia
