Coincollector110 Pillar of the Community United States 818 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 1:09 pm I recently signed up for the site, and entered all one dollar bills from 2009 that I have. After entering them, I write on the bills on the edge to hopefully get someone else to track it. Anyone else do something like this? 2009's are so common, I figured I might have a little fun with every one I get. Report this Post to the Staff

Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 1:11 pm Yep, but I bought a stamp to stamp onto the bills. See also https://goccf.com/t/201218 https://goccf.com/t/87303&whichpage=2 et cetera. Do a forum search on "wheres george" Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12820 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 8:06 pm I used to do a lot of Where's George-ing but got tired of the poor success rate after a while. It's fun and interesting but IMO the notes don't live long enough typically to get enough (or any, oftentimes) hits. Don't let that discourage you, though. It's definitely a great site and a lot of fun. Report this Post to the Staff

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 09:05 am I dabble with Where's George occasionally. When I find a bill in the wild I always enter it and have entered a couple hundred of my own over the years. It does bring some interesting paths. Once I had a large wad of singles accumulated so we marked a couple dozen as well as the other bills I had. When I found myself at a store that didn't take credit cards I had to use almost all of them at once, the clerk looked at me funny and asked about it. When I explained I could see her eyes say "What a geek" while her lips said "Uh, OK". I took it as a badge of honor, my wife was less enthused. Report this Post to the Staff
