Do any of you guys do "Where's George" when you find them?

My 9 year old son has been doing it for 3 years and he is ranked in top 291 out of 5600 users in Pennsylvania and 4,700 place out of 48,878 in the world.

We live about 20 miles from Wattsburg Gary

  • I did George when I worked for a convience store and got lots of them. Last summer I got one at the dairy bar. I did buy the stamps, but it took so long to input that I have let it slip. It can be fun if you have the time.

    Coinboy, if he doesn't have them you could buy your boy some stamps as gifts.

    I used to when it was just a little notation on the margin of the note, but the people marking them got so outrageous with rubber stamps that I now refuse to do so.

    I put two stamps on each bill. A round one in blue ink around one of the obverse seals, and a red one about 2 inches long on the border.

  • That's a great Idea, INJM.

    Like Wattsburg Gary's who uses the round kind.

    You have a nice score.
  • I stamp my bills with Chief Wahoos (Cleveland Indians Mascot) every now and again. Just for kicks and giggles.
