I got it at work in Pinch-A-Penny. It is super awesome. It did a backflip into my hands and told me I was special.

Just noticed that I completed my Federal Reserve Bingo in September.

I almost got my first DC hit today, but the finder had to bring it home to Alexandria, Virginia before logging it.
Turn around, George, turn around!Got this bill in change from the cafeteria at NAVSEA in the Washington Navy Yard, DC. It looks pretty worn.

Memo to PlacentiaSoccerMom: Get over to the high school! This is as close as I can get to sending George to another BB.

Re: WG Update
Just out of curiosity, is there a smartphone "Where's George?" app? Seems to me that having one would make tracking George easier.

Re: WG Update
George Ethics question: I found a George and entered it, then passed it over to Stephen when I was paying him back for something. When he was consolidating his small bills I ended up with it again, and he wants me to hang on to it and spend it when we go to Disneyland in December. Should I just keep it in circulation and if it gets spent it gets spent, or should I take George across the country?

I get lots of user notes from people who plan on holding my bill they hit until they take a trip somewhere. Every time I take a trip somewhere, I get spending money out specifically for that trip and hold onto it for that purpose. It isn't technically "natural circulation", but then again, neither is getting 100 singles from the bank every couple weeks, and many Georgers do it to where it's become an accepted practice....

So George gets to go on vacation!

You never know where he'll end up though. One of my bills I spent in Minneapolis back in September wound up being reported 2 days ago in Rio Grande City, TX. Not quite the cross country I was expecting....

Re: WG Update
I found my first Wild George in two months, yesterday, and got all excited that this might have been yours. But it was only from Indiana, not Illinois.

Re: WG Update
Oh, I see I should be making a special effort to find Abes, not Georges, if I'm going to retrieve your bill.
And I thought I had posted a reply to your post last week, but I guess it got lost in one of the Bored service outages. The Palms is a bar in Collegetown, just a couple blocks down the road from where I had my first apartment.

A hit from an active Georger in Texas (#25 in his state). I really appreciate where he's taking George now.

I found a George yesterday. It was stamped and not entered. Weird.

I've had that happen twice. Most likely, it was misentered, but it could have also been someone stamping the bill first and never remembering to enter it (EMS is the motto Georgers live by)....

Had a bill travel to Illinois after a year. Another year and a half later, it's back in east Texas.
