In my change today I found another bill stamped with “wheresgeorge.com”! I like this. Someone stamped this bill. When you get one in your change from a store or the bank you can enter the bill’s serial number on the wheresgeorge.com website and see how far it’s traveled.

Bill with "wheresgeorge.com" stamp

When you get a bill stamped with “wheresgorge.com”, go to the site and enter the serial number from the bill’s front. The site will ask you for the zip code you found this bill, then your entry becomes part of this bill’s travel history. The Bill Tracking Report (below) shows only one previous entry for my $5 bill. This bill was on the West Coast at Mercer Island, Washington State on New Year’s Day 2012. 115 days later it was in my hands in New York after getting it in change from a local grocery store.

Bill Tracking Report for my $5 bill, from wheresgeorge.com

I don’t stamp bills with “wheresgeorge” but lots of other people do, and it’s perfectly legal. You can also run a report for your zip code and see all the activity for your town. I was amazed at over a hundred entries for April in my area. Other bills I’ve found have nice long tracking reports showing that the bill has traveled many times across many states. I like this stuff.
