WheresGeorge.com currency tracker survey

What an interesting concept.

As change from a store, I received a $1 today that had something stamped on it. It read " Currency Tracker Survey. Please report sightings to www.wheresgeorge.com.

Seems someone has stamped a mess of $1 and $5 bills and entered them into a database. You enter the serial number and issue year and it logs it and tells you where else it was reported at. Then after you use it, if someone else enters it into their database, it'll tell you. They already have over 1.6mil registered users who have entered over 26million bills.

What an idea.. deface a bunch of money.. put up a website and a database... have tons of people visit it because of the money they received and then sell ads for the site and in tracking emails.

Wonder if I should go get my www.persiankitty.com stamp made.
