WG Update

[MarleysGh0st]

Hopefully a few more of them stayed within the state and are just hanging out for a bit.

I'm sure George is doing just that!

Wouldn't everybody?

WooHoo!

This hit took 158 days to go about 2 miles.

I think a literal snail-mail would go faster than that!

But still a lotta nuthin' with my Georges. Now I'm down to one hit in the last ten days.

Well, my drought is over. And this George is going to a good cause in Hamburg, NY:

I don't find that to be curious at all, even with your small sample size......

Since you're our WG guru, care to elaborate on that?

In our game of leapfrog, there are a couple factors that christie and I have chosen to do differently. She stamps her bills much more prominently (the Georger who just logged this last hit even commented that there was just one WG stamp around the FRB seal.) and she only enters her ones, while I enter everything. We've had discussion here about the higher denominations having lower hit rates. Do you find this to be incorrect?

I get the part about it being a small sample size.

I got a George last night that had "Katie" written on it. Does that count?

Cool!

But I guess there's not much hope for that Fifty I got from the downtown ATM a couple weeks ago. All the other ATMs I use dispense Twenties; that one always has to throw a Fifty in the mix.

Ack!

Actually, I already made a withdrawal from the ATM this morning, plus I got smaller bills in change from breakfast and lunch, so I'll have some work for my rubber stamp, this evening.

Why don't you just go to the bank and ask for 100 ones!

Or maybe given the hit rate, a stack of fives.....

Nope, nope, nope. I'm still following my regular withdrawal/spending habits. Withdraw some twenties from the ATM, then get the smaller bills in change as I spend them. Only difference now is that I put the new bills in the back of my wallet and don't spend them until I've had a chance to take them home and enter/stamp them!

[littlebeast13]

So I get 13 hits in the 11 days between August 27th and September 6th.....

And now in the past 5 days alone, I have gotten 26 hits.....

I guess the hoarding came to an end.....

I still think 13 in 11 days would be terrific!

So, I got another hit this morning (105 days to go 33 miles). And I've leapfrogged christie, again!

Am I really gonna have to break down and buy a stamp?

[Estonut]

Am I really gonna have to break down and buy a stamp?

I think most of these guys had their breakdowns after buying their stamps...

[MarleysGh0st]

Am I really gonna have to break down and buy a stamp?

Hey, if even this miser could spend a few bucks on one...

I chose the acrylic round stamp, BTW, for it's elegant simplicity.





But they've still got a $4.00 special, including free shipping, if that one is too pricey for you!

[TheCalvinator24]

I guess the trick is to post a whine in this thread. Got a hit about an hour and a half after my prior post.

An Abe Lincoln (2003A series) was found yesterday. The Georger even remarked about it:

It looks older than 6 years, it is quite worn. I got it yesterday from a bank. This is the first "Where's George " bill that I've seen, that is not a $1 bill !
