WTF ??
'Where's George' is a website that tracks the natural geographic circulation of American paper money.

The site was established in December 1998 by Hank Eskin, as 'The Great American Dollar Bill Locator'. Eskin, who holds an MBA from the prestigious Wharton School and has a day job as a database architect, says the idea for the site struck him on the way to lunch. "I thought, 'Wouldn't it be cool to track bills?' A Web site seemed the perfect medium." He says revenue from advertisers (yes, advertisers) roughly offsets operating costs.

How does it work?
A user registers an e-mail address at the site and enters the serial code and year of each bill he or she wants to track, as well as the Zip code where each bill was found. The user then writes "www.wheresgeorge.com" on the bills and spends them.
With any luck, a future owner of one of those bills will notice the writing and check out the Web site. If a finder joins and enters the bill in the system, the site will alert the person who registered it. It's "a hit," as "Georgers" say.
