<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1394420, member: 39"]Here in Europe we have a similar system (called EuroBillTracker), and the EBT site says that, while it is not illegal to stamp the notes, they advice users to not do it. On one hand a stamp referring to the site may result in new users. On the other hand such stamped notes tend to have shorter lifetimes as they may be taken out of circulation. <a href="http://en.eurobilltracker.com/faq/?command=4096;tab=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.eurobilltracker.com/faq/?command=4096;tab=3" rel="nofollow">http://en.eurobilltracker.com/faq/?command=4096;tab=3</a> So I don't stamp them. My notes to hits ratio is about 200:1 ... Now if I entered €5 and €10 notes only, it would probably be better.</p><p><br /></p><p>The WG site may be interesting, but I don't use it - seems they don't like non-US users. The "forums.wheresgeorge.com" site works fine from here, but "www.wheresgeorge.com" results in alerts such as "Error Message - This site is currently unavailable". Has been like that for years; some "furriners" are apparently allowed to enter the site while others are not. They may have excellent reasons for their policy, but it's just not worth it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
