It's kinda cool. Go to the website and enter the serial numbers. anyone that gets the bill has the option of saying where it's been and where they got it. I got a bill once in nebraska that had visited hawaii and new york. too bad there's no way for finding history of coins.

Thanks, I went there and the bill had only one hit and that was in Florida last year.

I've gotten one of those bills before too. It had only been to a couple towns in my general area, (Kansas), so it wasn't too exciting.

The late "Catman" started me on Where's George" about two years ago.
Whenever I have crisp new currency, I mark it with the Where's George information. I have had 40 some "hits" on notes I have put into circulation, and I have found several which other people started.
I think it's great. Dig into that site and you will be amazed at the different kinds of information available.
My most interesting experience was when one of my $20 bills turned up in Hawaii. We had been there a couple months before, and had seen the play "South Pacific." The guy who found my bill sent me an e-mail and told me of his father-in-law and the part he played in the original movie.
I really enjoy the site. There's nothing to joining, and it's a lot of fun when one of your notes are reported to have been found.
My note with the most stops was a $1 bill which traveled through four states. Started here in western Colorado, and was last heard in Indiana.
It's fun. Try it.

I have seen these bills for many years now but have never participated in it.
Think I will give it try next time.

I used to be active on wheresgeorge.com about 5 years ago.
I entered 1,948 Bills worth $13,399
Total hits: 197
I just lost interest, I do still get hits from time to time.

I have gotten a few and for a while I was actually entering in all the bills, and its kinda cool to track it, I just wish more people did it...then you could see how far it would go...I took a bunch that I got here in California and when I went to hawaii I spent them there and in New York.....but its been 8 months and still nothin....

I started on Where's George when I found a bill with their website. I started entering bills and have had only 2 hits. It's been awhile since I've entered any. I started feeling bad defacing the bills just like some get mad when they mark coins. Maybe I shouldn't feel that way but that's why I quit. Is it wrong to mark them with the Where's George information?

This is great - I have never heard of this before. It really helps answer the question of how far a dollar goes nowadays  |
