Re: Where's George bills

Anytime I get 100-200 in $1's from the bank I seem to get at least 3-4 of them, but I haven't done that for awhile.

I find them routinely and have had an account there since 2003. Interesting idea and I enjoy seeing my notes pop up in different areas.

Re: Where's George bills

A co-worker and I were JUST talking about these minutes ago... I posted one last week and he posted one today. I've passed up the chance to enter some in the past, but I think I'll be more diligent about it in the future.

If you find any of these bills, make sure you enter them. It's fun, free, and easy.
Check it out - you might like it.

Yep! I am still active with WG, as are thousands of other people nationwide. If you enjoy these forums, you should check out the forums on wheresgeorge.com. Anyone who enjoys paper currency can definitely learn something there.

Re: Where's George bills

I found my first one today and went to the site to register it.
It has gone 1700 miles so far.
I wasn't looking for it- It just jumped out at me with the bright stamp.
Cool idea.

Re: Where's George bills

I've entered a couple a long time ago and have found probably 50-60 of these bills so far. I've only entered 3-4 of them, and don't plan on entering anymore. I realize some people get kicks out of seeing how far their money has traveled, but I don't have the time or get the enjoyment out of it personally to make me keep up with it. I find too many of those bills.

On a side note... did ya'll know they used to sell the stamps on their site so that people could create their own bills but stopped because they got yelled at by big brother... that was what I had been told anyway. Anyone know where they stand on stamping new bills these days?

Re: Where's George bills

I have only found one $1 bill. I went to the web site and entered the info to log its whereabouts. It took almost a year to make it's way from St. Louis Missouri to Chicago Illinois. I was on a work computer so I didn't register (I wish I did, that way I could keep track of its progress). Next time I find one, I will register. I think its a very cool idea, hopefully I will come across another one soon.

LOL - Why would you save them? Back when the wheresgeorge web site started you could buy the stamp and stamp as many notes as you wanted, they will never be worth anything over 1 dollar. Just release them so others can have some fun with them. :tongue3:

Re: Where's George bills

I found about 3 or 4 about a year ago. I entered them on the site and everything. Have not found one since then. :icon_scratch:

Thank you! They are not worth anything over a dollar. The point of stamping the bills is to tell people to enter the bills on the site. Then the "stamper" can track the bill where it goes. If you are saving them, you are killing someones bill journey and the chance for the person to get "hits" on their bills. Do someone a favor and release those poor George hostages.

I can sell you as many of these stamped bills as you want. $1.50 each ::)

Anyone who loves currency needs to get over to the wheresgeorge.com forums. You will love it.
