Where's Willy? Where's George?

Postby Iroquois » Mon Jul 19, 2004 12:58 pm

This is kind of neat. I was flipping through my wallet today when I stumbled upon a Where's Willy $20 bill. For those who don't know, Where's Willy is a program that tracks currency to show where a single bill has been. This perticular bill has come all the way from Vancouver BC since 2002.  

The people who are doing this also have Where's George in the US. It's amazing how far a single bill can travel. Check it out for yourself.

Never heard of it before, sounded interesting, entered around 15 bills, and not one of them was ever entered there before.  O well.   Checked the email if entered box so i guess ill find out eventualy.

The bills they're circulating will have "Report sightings to www.whereswilly.com or www.wheresgeorge.com" written somewhere on it. I got it out of the ATM last week but I just noticed it today.
