Where's George?

[SpongeScott]

In a forum this big, there's got to be other Georgers out there. Time for a roll call!

If you have no clue to what I'm talking about, check out www.wheresgeorge.com and join in the fun.

Hey, I've been to where's George before. I'm not seriously into it, only registered about 20 bills but its pretty cool. I haven't had much luck so far though. I don't add any of my own, but whenever I come across a bill with the stamp on it or where's george written on it, I always look it up. How about you, have you had many hits?

I started last year and I've gotten hooked. I've entered quite a few bills and got my 50th hit yesterday, but that's nothing compared to the pros who do this. We're leaving for WDW today and I've got a stack of singles to spread around to the tourists and hopefully a lot of them will go home to different states.

I've got quite a few bills marked out there and have never gotten a hit and its been over a year! :fork:

I've got one somewhere in my wallet... I think there was also a "Where's Abe?"

All denominations of bills can be added to Where's George?

Correct. For Canadian money, I think there is a Where's Willy? website.

 

[dandaman]

^I saw that... I haven't seen a stamped Canadian bill, though.

(This wouldn't work so well for Canadian coins. "Where's the Queen?" "She's on every bloody coin!" :lookaroun :lol: )

How many bills have you entered SpongeScott? Is there a limit?

There are rules, but I don't think I've ever seen a maximum count anywhere.

George? Isn't he haunting POTC right now?

The one I have is up in my closet. :lookaroun

I should explain. Whenever I get change, it goes into my WDW souvenirs fund. If I get $1 bills, they go into my hurricane fund. This is to provide cash for ice, etc if the power is out, and ATMs are not working. At the end beginning of the season, I use the money from the previous year to restock my pantry, etc. I had enough money in past years to buy a generator one year, and a window A/C another. I already have over $500 for this year, so any excess will go towards my "whole house just flip the switch generator" fund. :lol:

I just checked my account for the first time in years and I still have no hits on any of my bills. :lol:
