[QUOTE="Soylent, post: 1392754"]While I have never personally seen a thread with a highly valuable bill, I have heard stories from other CT members on here who were banned from the site that heard of brand new CHCU old bills being stamped and spent..... Failure to cite an example or source indicates a lack of credibility. Opinions are like noses, everybody has one. Wheres George users are required to enter each bill manually. There are no shortcuts. Entering a bill requires verifying the series and serial number. Bills earlier than 1963 cannot be entered. Wheres George users look at any note very closely, much more closely than the general public would. The Collector Forum is full of terrific finds from circulation or banks. WG members swap and sell notes that are valuable. Calling Georgers "ignorant" is not accurate. As a group they have saved thousands of collectible notes. I have entered over 43K worth of currency since 2002. That is a piddling amount since the top users have entered hundreds of thousands of notes. I have a binder full of old style 5s, 10s , 20s and star $2s with leading zeros that I would never stamp with WHERES GEORGE.COM. Most WG users would never stamp such bills. The general public is much more likely to mark ,scribble a name or some other website on a bill with any value. Examples of what the general public does with currency: [url]http://www.google.com/search?q=funny+money+pictures&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=3t5&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=Pk9aT8H0Gqju0gGDzoi7Dw&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBoQ_AUoAQ&biw=851&bih=461[/url] You can speculate all you want but do you have any proof?[/QUOTE]
