A week ago I found a dollar on the street with a wheresgeorge.com rubberstamp on it! That is unusual because I am in Canada. lol It is sitting in a change dish instead of being tracked because I am too lazy to type a serial number (assuming that is how they track them).

Yea, I'm assuming that if someone doesn't turn it in for "x" amount of time they probably dump the information. Poor little George is probably tucked away in a wallet somewhere just waiting to be spent

I still track some and think it's kind of nifty.

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

No there are no time limits...No one has re-entered the bill is all.

So sad....

09-06-2005 11:58

i've been holding one of these $1 in my wallet for.. a year or two? maybe more? it was given to me by a friend, who told me the story of how/where he acquired it.. but i can't remember the story! ACK! now i wait.. until i think to ask him what the situation was.. again.

always thought it was cool, just never bothered to start entering data..

..yet.

eventually i will though.
