It occurred to me that I probably have never made any mention of another website I used to visit quite frequently.
www.whereswilly.com is a neat money tracking game. Essentially, you register a free account at the website, and then type the serial number of any currency you may come across at the website. Most of the hard core users buy a stamp or write a note on the back of their bills asking future holders of the currency to register the bill at whereswilly.
After awhile, other users get your bills, enter them into the site, and then you can see how your money circulates. Each bill will have its record of entries,
like this.It's an odd hobby, but one I enjoyed for many years. (I just restarted this week after a very long hiatus).
Just so they don't feel left out, Americans have their own tracking site, called www.wheresgeorge.com.

Unless you're talking Laurier? Isn't he on the $5 or the $10? Ack! <-- lost!

That is cool. I have used the Where's George before. I have gotten a dollar with that on there also. I should go do that again.

Yeah - I went dormand for almost two years. I was surprised to find out I was still ranked in the top 30 when I logged back in earlier this week. I dusted off my stamp, and entered a few bills. Now I'm waiting for a couple of hits. I still need PEI to get the provincial Bingo...

What's on $20, Idunnowho's on $50.
Beaver-Country-Canada - September 17, 2005 03:00 AM (GMT)
The queens on the $20 -- I haven't held a $50 or a $100 for so long I couldn't honesty tell you what they have on them! :lol:

If I recall correctly, it's Mackenzie King on the $50, and Robert Borden on the $100.
