    I just got my first (ever) Where's George bill.
    A $5 bill.
    I entered it at www.wheresgeorge.com

    It traveled from PA in 43 days direct to me.

    "42 Days, 9 Hrs, 39 Mins 127 miles"

    Frank,

    When I click on the link it just takes to to the enter a number page. I am logged in so I think I would need the number to look at the history.

    Kind of interested to see what parts of PA it has been in.

    Better, looks like that note traveled a little before it made it's way to you.

    wheresgeorge is awsome! here is a picture of the front of my wheresgeorge bills i do, also here is the back of the same bill. say i spend the bill at 7-11. when i get to the car, someone gets it in change. the person who got it in change then goes to walmart and spends the bill. someone at wal mart gets the bill at think, hey i should see what this is. so they go to the website, enter the serial number, series, and what condition it is in and where they got it. alot of people do this. also, here is my profile.

    I was introduced to "Where's George" several years ago.

    I have read about this for years, but it was the first time that I EVER got one in my change.

    Hey Bryan did you enter that bill or do a bill look up because your not supposed to enter any bills that you don't have in your possession. Just a little heads up, might get you hanked! And i don't think you want that. :)

    "Where's George" is a Blast! I've been doing it for about 7 months- only got 5 hits though.

    I know it seems harmless to enter that bill when you didn't have it, but a lot of people that talk on the WG? forums have said they got into trouble with hank on that subject. He takes those kind of things pretty seriously.

    Actually it probably went through quite a few hands before it reached your pocket, it is just that no one else ever entered the note.
