How far can a dollar go?
Well, apparently mine has traveled 208 Miles in 114 Days, 18 Hrs, 40 Mins at an average of 1.8 Miles per day.

Let me explain, the other day I received a dollar bill back from the Buritoville delivery guy (everything in this city can be delivered, even McDonald's and Subway) and on it is a stamp that reads www.wheresgeorge.com . So being a curious geek, I go to the site and type in the serial number and found out the above information. The bill started traveling in Fort Washington, Maryland and is now in the Meat Packing District of New York City. Next stop? The Victoria Secrets register on 34th--It's the Semi-Annual sale, and I stopped there after work last week. You can also go to the site and register your own buck and then track where it heads.

AP Article: Bloggers Learn Price of Telling Too Much I was actually interviewed for this story, but they didn't go with my quotes, probably not scandalous enough ;)

I'm such a geek. I registered all the bills I had in my wallet with wheresgeorge.com. I was hoping that at least one of them had been registered before but no such luck. LOL

aw that's too bad, but I think you can check back at the site at a later date to see where the bills ended up.

Hi Tara,
You are now officially my WG parent! I stumbled upon your blog on the internet here, and yesterday signed up with the www.wheresgeorge.com website. So do you have a rubber stamp for marking your bills? Are you still actively doing this? Let me know what your user ID is on WG, and I'll update that in my profile.
Keep in touch,
Wes

I dont have a stamper, but that'd be cool. Happy to be your WG parent and thanks for stopping by and commenting. I'll check on my WG ID.
