The other day I got some change after making a purchase. It included a dollar bill with the series year and serial number highlighted in yellow, and a red stamp reading, “Where have I been? [http://www.wheresgeorge.com](http://www.wheresgeorge.com).”

Curious, I checked it out, and it’s a [website](http://www.wheresgeorge.com) where you can enter in the information on your money, then see where it goes. If someone else has had the same bill, it tells you who they are, where they are, how long it took for your bill to get to them and how fast it travelled. Sort of reminiscent of the movie, “Twenty Bucks.”

Mundane, pointless, and I had to share it.

I’m sure this site was a “Weird Earle’s” a bit back.
