[Mishmash] Where's George

[Fred Atkinson]

Folks,

     Here's a neat site that you might be interested in.  It's called
'Where's George dot com' (http://www.wheresgeorge.com).  It can be a lot of
fun.

     You get some bills, stamp it with red ink with 'www.wheresgeorge.com'
on it and enter the serial number into the 'Where's George' database.

    As people find these bills in circulation and put them into the
database, you find out how your bills have circulated around the country.
Some even show up overseas at times.

    For our Australian friends, there is an Australian site called 'The
Moneytracker' that is at http://www.moneytracker.com.au that does the same
thing.  And there are a number of other sites for different currencies as
well.  You can see some of them at
http://www.wheresgeorge.com/cool_links.php.

    Check it out.  I've got about two hundred and sixty ones entered and
most back in circulation.  So far, I've not seen any distances that are
really significant but it is still early in the game.

    Regards,




Fred Atkinson
