I’ve actually been known to take a dollar bill, register it in Where’s George, then origami it - and leave it in a public place. Was there anything written on the bill?

No. I’ve known about Where’s George for years and enter the bills I find. I even used to register some myself. Had a stamp made up, even.

No, the bill I found looked as if it had been loosely crumpled and then flattened. Nothing origami-like to it.
