Just got a $1 bill stamped...

"Track this bill at www.wheresgeorge.com"

Anyone ever see one of these?

I went on to the site, and it's neat, and very well done, but I have to wonder... If I enter the bill, will the government and their reptilian alien overlords at the Federal Reserve immediately know how much money I have on me? Smiley

Not if you properly apply the tinfoil.

I have been seeing Where's George bills since 2001. I worked part time nights at a filling station in 02 to make ends meet for a while and got to see a lot of them.

I've had a few, but I always forget to go to the website before I spend them.

For a while, every time I got one, I'd enter that I'd received it at a strip club...

I came across a Where's George marked bill a few years ago.  

Went to the site and added my find.  According to the entries it circulated in NC for a while, and the last entry had it in Augusta GA about 18 months after it was first logged.  That was about two years ago; nothing on it since.

Shortly after my first find, I entered a few more bills of my own.  Only two of them got hits.  One was last logged in a nearby locality a few months after I entered it.

The other lingered 3 1/2 years until it was logged in Heath OH, about 320 miles from here.

Cool stuff. cool

I ought to scrounge up what few bills I have and give it another go.

Haven't seen one of those in a long while. Some years ago, when "Where's George" started, I would get them pretty regularly. What's the average lifespan of a dollar bill?
