Ever wondered where you money goes?
No I mean literally.
A few years ago I came across a $1 that had red typed words on it. Being curious I read it. It said:
See where I've been
Track where I go next
www.WheresGeorge.com
Well, I went to www.wheresgeorge.com and found that this particular bill had traveled all the way from Glendale to me. (about 5 miles) woo hoo
I actually took the time to add a couple of bills of my own and have had "hits" that they too have traveled very short distances.
But today I found a dollar bill in my washing machine. I am sure that it was put in there as payment for some of the socks the damn thing has eaten but I digress. This bill had the red typed words so I knew it was being tracked.
So I went to WheresGeorge.com I found that this was no slacker bill. It had traveled from Snellville, GA (June 2003) to Seattle, WA (Jan 2004) to me. This $1 bill had traveled 3292 miles in 1 year, 202 days, 19 hours, 48 mins at an average speed of 5.8 miles per day. (yeah WheresGeorge gives you all that information).
So just remember if you see a bill (any denomination) with writing on it, check to see if it has been to Where'sGeorge. It is really kind of fun.
I have been to that site - it's fun!
I was on this site a couple of years ago, so I just went out and checked the site again and my 4 dollars I entered way back when don't have any hits. I wonder if they are in the kids bank?
