    I have been wanting one of these for years and i finally got on this morning after buying me a nice hot chocolate.

    How many "Where's George" bills have you had an encounter with?

    Only one for me. And I tucked it away somewhere, totally missing the point of seeing where our dollars travel. Shame on me!

    I come across WG $1's all of the time. I usually find 1-2 per $500 or so $1's that I strap search thru. I used to just write down all of the S/N's and just enter them in later even after I've already spent them, but all that takes too long. I'm busy enough as it is. Another thing that kind of led me away from contributing to WG is when I found a star note that was stamped WG. That kind of upset me, actually. That's just not cool and slightly selfish to stamp a bill that you know many people collect..:dead-horse: I saw nothing wrong with WG until that bill. I even know some people that collect star notes and older bils just to stamp them and spend them... I'm personally against that.

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    I've came up with about 10 of these things in my time Every time I got one, I spent it without entering. So George is lost.

    I find the "Where's George?" and "Where's Willy?" (Canada's version) all the time. There's probably 1 or 2 in the till every other day or so. I know what the intention is but being a banknote collector it's frustrating to find a nice radar or other collectible note with "Where's Willy" stamped or scrawled all over it.

    Why did you wait years? If you had wanted one just take out a pen and your note of choice, write "wheresgeorge.com" all over it. Voila!

    Buy their stamp and you can become a veritable production house of WG notes.

    I ran into quite a few of these back in the day. George spent a lot of time in G-strings.

    I used to see them more than I do today...but I will admit that I handle cash less these days too. I personally am not bothered by these bills. I know some people get really upset when they see a star note stamped...because they feel that our hobby isn't being respected. Well, to 99.99% of people out there it's just a $1 bill...even to WG people. I'll bet most don't even know that a star note is anything special.

    I've found two of them. I know you're not supposed to do this, but I keep them every time.

    Received a five this morning from the gas station with the "where's george". I don't usually do anything with them. I do what everybody else does..."pass the buck"!
