My new money hobbie or becoming a "Georger" as in "Where's George?" Dollar fun

That's the thing I like about it. You can enter dollars when you have time and not enter when you don't have time. Plus doesn't cost much. From what I see, most people where I live only enter a wheres george when they get one in change, most aren't starters. Thanks and take care.

I don't know about in Canada, but deface to the point of not able to use as legal tender is illegal here, but to mark in the white spaces is not. There is a link from www.wheresgeorge.com to what exactly the USA law is and I assume the same happens somewhere in www.whereswillie.com Steps to this: First someone gets a dollar bill. Second, the person goes online and registers the dollar bill's two numbers, ID # and series number (for USA, not sure about Canadian). Also adds any comments as to where got it or found it. Third, someone stamps in the approved areas: See where I've been; Track where I go. www.wheresgeorge.com or just the site address or something similar. 4th, the person spends it. That's what the "Georger" does. Now the person who finds the bill, just does the second step. That person can do more like get alerted when the bill gets input again. I think the bills that go to Casinos are very interesting and the ones that get found and input 5 or more places are really, really cool. I bet Where's Willie works similarly. There are examples in the top 10s and other places across the top. It's fun and you can do it when you have time, not do it when you don't. So look at your money from now on and see if you find a Where's one or the other. The bills that have been input into the site have maps to show you where they went and all kinds of neat stats like how far it traveled in how many days. The samples are fun to look at under the top 10. One bill was input 15 times and went all over the USA. One person who is a Georger says she loves it because she learns about little places she's never heard of and finds out where they are. Many times her bills go places she'd like to go like Hawaii. Some people have had so many bills go out that they've been to all 50 states by George!

thank you, dear writersedge..for the details of "Where's George" and "where's Willie".....and now that you have piqued my interest....I shall head in that direction as soon as I have finished myLotting. Seems strange to be sitting here, at this time of day! Once again, thanks for taking the time (great instructions) to have some more fun here in cyber world! Cheers!

Have a good time. Hope you like the website(s) as much as I did. The forum was fun, the top 10 bills was fun, the maps, the top "Georgers" have some fun or funny profiles. Thanks for the interest and take care.

Well, if you do it my way, it's not. As I get a bill or two in change, I add the bill to the online site. But some people get an entire pack of dollars (they call it a strap and I don't know how many are in the the little paper band)and write on all of them! That's labor intensive unless you buy a stamp. I want to track the natural flow of money, so trading regular $10s and $20 for a bunch of ones doesn't seem like natural flow to me. But I guess how it flows from you is natural, but I don't pay in all ones by the hundreds naturally.

This is very interesting. I may have to give it a try.

I wish you would, then we could share stories. Who knows, it may be a topic someday on Helium.
