Have you ever come across a "WheresGeorge.com" bill?

Apparently, there are a heck of a lot of American and Canadian bills floating around with the words “Please Report Sightings Of This Bill At www.WheresGeorge.com ” I went ahead and registered mine and found it was as far away from Alabama as Albuquerque, NM. Have you ever registered one of these bills and been suprized at how far it has been, or how close?

I have come across many of them in my days as a cashier- but I never took the time to register them. It seems interesting, though.

Yep, and entered them on the site. Mostly singles, but I got a fiver once.

I had one. Last time I checked, nobody updated it.

the last one I got was updated a couple hundred miles away. Even Midwestern money doesn’t get out much.

I just had one last week. Didn’t go to the site.

I’ve had a couple & I gave ‘em to family in cards so we could see how far they went & discuss.

A couple times, but nothing that wasn’t local.

I’ve gotten lots of them, but I spend them before I think to go to the website. I work in retail, so I see lots of money everyday. I one time had a lot of ones in my purse, about 14 or so. I took a bright orange pen and wrote my name on them. I thought, wouldn’t it be funny if I saw one of these at work one day. Never have yet, doubt I ever will, but I thought it was worth a shot.

I’ve gotten a few. Every so often I remember to go on the website. It was easier when I was working; we would get a Where’sGeorge bill and I could quickly enter it in to the website without anybody knowing/caring. I’ve gotten some that were all the way from North Dakota, and I’m in New England! It’s a pretty neat idea.

I’ve gotten quite a few and used to log them and track them. Now that I’m in a rural area i find people don’t update them – or hold onto them. It can be quite a lot of fun!

I never registered one, but I was given one in change once. It was from Minnesota and I got it in Texas.

I looked one up once, and found that it had migrated barely a mile down the road from where I got it.
