Where's George?
Permalink  

Oooh. this looks cool. Any chance of one of our US dodgers trying it out for us?

Welcome to Where's George?
Do you ever wonder where that paper money in your pocket has been, or where it will go next? This is the place to find out.

All you need to do is enter the denomination, series, and serial number of any US dollar bill, and your current USA ZIP or Canadian Post Code in the box...

...If the dollar bill you enter has been entered here before, you will get back a list of all the cities/states where that bill has been, as well as travel time, distance and speed of each hop!

If this dollar bill has not been entered before, you started the list!

I've gotten dollar bills with the wheresgeorge.com stamp on them... I think I put in the number but I've never participated beyond that. Maybe later I'll grab a dollar and do for ya :)

[cynical view] You sure it's not all a big scam to track down stolen banknotes? [yeah, right, like I'd end the cynicism]

I think that only helps if they record the serial to start with. I know we (as a UK Bank) dont trace our bank notes by serial - even the new ones. I should think the last place they are recorded as at issue to the first clearing bank they go from. After that - they could go anywhere. Its why people 'robbing' look for used notes.

Actually, you're completely wrong. Just shows how out of touch with the banking industry you are Stead. Call yourself a Banker. Pff.

Every till has a pixie in it (gnomes in building societies - but we don't talk about them) which telepathically lets the Giant Pixie in the Bank of England know where each note is at any given time. And there are magic words printed on each note that use the mystical energy of the golden chip on your debit card to act as a kind of etheral gps system.

Try reading the brefings that come round occasionally, you big ponce!
