The hunt is over, i found my George Washington!
Have you ever gotten one of these before? I've had a few over the years, but was always too lazy to look them. That changed today though.
And i have to tell you, it's a pretty damn good way to blow through some time :)
While the site itself was kinda all over the place, the actual content was killer! I say this for two reasons:
1) You get to see where YOUR bill came from! It takes a few seconds to enter in all the info on it (denomination, serial #, and series), but once you're done you get to see where it's been! and if you're REALLY lucky, there will be a whole bunch of comments on it.
2) You get to see where others have been. Not as exciting as #1 since that one is your own baby, but still - a great way to kill some time.
Here's what pulled up for my dollar at www.wheresgeorge.com:
- This bill has travelled 369 Miles in 1 Yr, 30 Days, 23 Hrs, 38 Mins at an average of 0.93 Miles per day! (click here to see the map)
- It is now 369 Miles from its starting location.
- Note from the one other person who had it (or at least went online to track it): "I got it from Michael at St Anne's Credit Union, N Dartmouth Fair condition."
- Note i put on it :) "got it from Fuddruckers when i broke a $20. it's in so-so condition. George looks hot as always though."

I got one of those once! Logged in but there was only the starting location/comment.
I think it had come from PA?
They are fun. Do you know how many stamped bills are in circulation?
oh man, that's sucky...too bad there wasn't more info!
i believe there are a few thousand bills in circulation, but i'm not 100% sure.
when i logged mine in, it told me what the bill # was but i didn't save it :( i just remember it being 3-4 digits long.
I'll have to keep my eye out for one of those now! Fun!
Oh no, so you killed it and it won't be in circulation any more? Still, very cool stuff! I think I got one of those at work the other day, but I just stuck it in the cash drawer to give out as change to the next person.
Very cool!!
this is very cool! Btw, I do ann taylor card thing every day, I've not won $100 yet, who know maybe tomorrow I'll win!
oh yeah, this little dollar's going right into my painting! i'm actually painting something inspired by the PF world ;)
i'll show it once i'm finished...but it will be a while.
and keep on trying Chicky! someone's gotta win it, right?
