WHERE'S GEORGE

  Denis Loring writes: "A few months ago I found a "Where's
  George" bill on the floor of a movie theater in West Palm
  Beach.  I took it with me to London and changed it for pounds
  with an independent currency exchanger.  No sign of it yet."

  Tom DeLorey writes: "Over the years I have received a few
  "Where's George" bills in circulation, and in the original spirit
  of the game have reported the serial numbers before passing
  the bill on, in another state whenever possible.  It was fun.
  Now, however, I have in front of me a $1 bill with a large red
  stamp on the front "TRACK THIS BILL/
  www.wheresgeorge.com" and a larger red stamp on the reverse
  "CURRENCY TRACING STUDY/ ENTER SERIES AND
  SERIAL #/ AT WHERESGEORGE.COM."   In addition,
  there is a small blue www.wheresgeorge.com in the border at
  both ends of both sides of the note.

  Perhaps I am being a bit curmudeonly, but this excessive
  marking has crossed the line between fun and games and the
  deliberate mutilation of currency. I have not reported this bill,
  and I am going to tear it in half and turn it in at the bank for
  replacement. Any comments from our members?"
