Where’s George? is an interesting “activity” where you track your dollar bills online to see where the money you spend eventually ends up. You don’t know everywhere the bill has traveled – only locations where somebody took the time to enter the bill’s serial number on the website. I tried it myself last year after I received a dollar in change that had www.wheresgeorge.com stamped on it. I think it’s cool to see how a dollar bill travels all around the country and you have no idea how it got there. (This bill has been tracked 15 times.)
I had totally forgotten all about Where’s George? but I just received an email notifying me that one of my bills was just found and logged. After 1 year, 36 Days, 22 hours, and 27 minutes, a dollar I once had in my pocket is now in rural Ringoes, New Jersey. How did it get there?
