Where's George

Where’s George is a site that tracks the travel of dollar bills through circulation. You can follow any denomination of currency by entering the serial number on the bill, enter your current zip code and learn about where the bill has been. If your bill doesn’t have a tracking history, you can start tracking it. Add a short note about the bill including where it was found, what condition it is in, etc. You can choose to receive an email when the next person finds and records the bill’s next location. In addition to tracking bills, you can view a report by zip code, state, bill denomination, or county.

Enter the dollar serial number as a class at the beginning of the school year, record information about it, and write the Where’s George web address on the dollar.
