There don't seem to be very many, anywhere.

I've cashiered for 14 hours now at the Friends of the Library booksale, where it's been very busy, but I haven't seen one marked George.

Perhaps it's because there are people who don't use any cash at all these days, like the college student who bought 65 cents worth of books but had no cash in his wallet. None. So he charged the 65 cents. :roll:

I got a Wild George this morning--the first since August!

Hey, beast, are you familiar with Carol from South Milwaukee? Besides having a George Score almost as high as yours, I noticed this in her profile that makes me think she just might be one of your Where's George? Children!
I started entering bills in February of 2005 after finding one at a casino in St. Louis.
