WheresGeorge.com
So, has anyone gotten any hits on WheresGeorge.com?
I got one last year (lol I can say it) when I started using it. Thats it. I've entered 13 bills. For those of us who don't know, wheresgeorge.com is a website that shows where your bills have been courtesy of a mark/stamp/written wheresgeorge.com on the bill. I learned of it when I got one bill with wheresgeorge.com stamped on it. It was cool, it was from a gas station in Bakersfield. Canadians don't despair! For there is Whereswilly.com |
I haven't checked back recently, but last year sometime i got one, registered, and submitted that bill. It had actually had 3 or 4 hits before me. I think its a very cool idea, and more people should check it out.
|
I always swap out for all the bills that come into the register at work. So far, I have one hit on the 20 or so bills I have entered. I even mailed a $20 to a guy in Australia for payment of an eBay auction and never got a hit on it. Oddly, all the bills I find seem to come from the same user.

i got a weres george bill a year ago and god has that thing traveled
|
I got one awhile back, it seems to have moved to FL and retired there. ;)
|
I thought this was a site for george bush....like where's waldo. but no its where has my money been. pretty kewl idea i will need to check mor into.
thanks mr b |
I've only entered 3 of them. Gotten 2 hits on one. I found a $5 last week but didn't realize it had been stamped until I was handing it to the cashier. I needed it to pay for stuff so couldn't register it. All the hits I have for my bills have been within a 60 mi radius of home. Guess my money doesn't go far. Knew that already. ;)
|
I've been doing it semi-religously since 2000. I hadn't gotten many hits (less than 1%), until I found out my brother-in-law was also doing it. He stamps his bills and is getting about a 12-15% hit rate. I got a stamp, and you can see the difference in hits. I consider an inexpensive hobby.
|
2 bills, 3 hits. (but it took 1 1/2 years)
|
Whats with the crazy pop-up crap??
|
I had one he other day.. Didn't notice it until I had to use it at McDonalds.. Didn't have time to write down teh serial numbers and didn't have any ohter cash on me. First time I'd ever seen them.. I think it's a cool idea.
|
I got one at work and didn't know why there was a URL stamped on the bill. Checked the website after I got home. I didn't know I was supposed to write the serial numbers down.
|
I hadn't checked in over a year. I'm user #1850.

Funny you should post this thread. I had received a bill with the stamp on it and set it aside to do later...I never got to it and had forgotten about it and then last week when I was setting up my new computer I stumbled across it and decided this time I will do it. After reading your thread and the posts, I feel like I have almost "killed" one! We can't be having that now can we??? ;)
Thanks for the reminder! |
LOL! I've entered a few bills but haven't checked any of them for quite awhile.... then I see this thread and go to check only to find the site down :( Oh well, maybe I'll check tomorrow........
|
I saw that stamped, but I never followed through. Next time I get a bill I'll be sure and enter it.
|
I got one about a year ago checked out the website it was a cool idea but not enough people bother to do it I dont think.
|
So apparently the entire face of this planet has heard of this already except me :) I just finished entering my entire wallet into their database :D
|
Where didja guys get your stamps?
|
I've had two hits for one bill...moved from N. California to South and then to Oklahoma. Go figure...
