Where's George? Where's Willy?

By Abbie Bradfield Mulvihill

Have you ever wondered where your dollar came from or where it's going? I hadn't until I received a $20 with a wheresgeorge.com stamp on it. That was the first I'd ever heard of this bill-tracking (that's dollar bill-tracking) service. It turns out that my $20 came from North Carolina 250 days ago. According to the site, it has been traveling at an average speed of 1.6 miles per day.

In order to track your bills, you have to register, but registration is free. Just enter your bill's serial number and year, add a note about where you got it and its condition. Then, wait until you get an e-mail update.

When I mentioned this to some friends, they were not impressed. They are already tracking their bills! Apparently a lot of people are doing that. Look at these numbers by state and county.

If you're in Canada, you can track your bills via whereswilly.com. The numbers aren't quite as impressive, but here is the Top 20 Provinces Ranking. Just below it is the Top 20 States Ranking.
