Can I borrow $50?

Actually there is a cool website out there that allows you to track money that has had the website address stamped to it [I know, I know, defacing money is wrong, but I'm ignoring it in this case]. You go to the website and enter the serial number to register it. Then you can choose to have emails sent to you whenever someone else a]gets the bill and b] bothers to post the serial number to the site.
I received a bill as some change and then spent it and soon after received an email with a description of where the bill was and how the person got it.
Here's the site
http://www.wheresgeorge.com/

i've seen that site. A few years ago I received a $1 bill with the wheresgeorge.com tag. I went to the site and the person who started the bill's life on wheresgeorge.com had hundreds of bills he/she was tracking. Can you imagine that? He/she went to the bank; got out hundreds of singles; went home and wrote out wheresgeorge.com on every single bill and spent them all. that's a bit crazy.
it's good to see the site is still around. it's a neat concept. i entered in where i received and spent my dollar bill on wheresgeorge.com, but the receipient did not follow up.
if i recall correctly, spud used to write things on $5 in college, hoping to spread that information around. i think he put his website address on the bills? or maybe not, since spudart.org didn't exist back then.

that looks like your handwriting on the $50 bill.
