Since the Hebrews struck the first coins or "shekels" in 3000 BC, currency has changed hands time and time again as goods are brought and sold. From pocket to pocket, tracking the places a paper note has seen hasn't been feasible for the masses...that is, until now. Check out an interesting website called Where's George?

Take a paper bill, enter its denomination, Bill Series, Serial Number, current zip code, and if you'd like, a short note about your bill. (I always like saying the famous "yeehaw! welcome to Texas" but this is completely up to you.)

After submitting the bill you'll see the travelogue of all of your notes. (Unfortunately, if there has been no previous history of Where's George tracking your bill there is no way of you knowing where it has been before getting into your wallet. Gotta start somewhere, right?)

More features on the site includes a Real Time Hit feed where you can see people entering in the bill they have. It gives their location, if it's the first hit, what denomination the bill is, the serial number and the description the person has entered to date, the total amount and how many entries have been entered today.

There's also a George's Top 10 that tells you information like where the most bills have been entered and in what state - for example, to date there have been over 16,000,000 bills entered in the state of California.

Hope you enjoy discovering where your money's been - and here's to holding on to it as long as you can!
