Where's George?

A while ago, I came across these $1 bills stamped with www.wheresgeorge.com. It was a pretty cool idea, based on the bill's serial number, people could see where and when it was last entered into the database, and you can see where the bill has travelled.

Over a year ago, I encountered a number of bills like this, either at work (where I think somebody was stamping them), and at the local farmer's market. So, when I got one, I decided to enter the bill into the database.

Today, 1 year, 184 days later, that bill has been found and re-entered in the database, in Texas! Pretty cool. The most ironic part is that this bill originated from the TC, ended up in Fargo, and then back to MN, then I tried to make sure that I spent it someplace away from the TC so it wouldn't get stuck here.

Check out the report: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/report.php?key=ec71992f85999609d32b3683fca617da3833122e83a34a28
