After registering with the site, you can enter the serial numbers from your bills. As money changes hands of different users, they enter their serial numbers in turn, and the money is tracked as it moves around the country. I received the bill in the cover photo with the red ink marking and entered it at the site. Unfortunately, it had only traveled about two hundred miles. But, bills do not need a marking but they do stand a better chance of being entered.
And for most bills, little or nothing ever happens. But, for some bills, a detailed map emerges, one of which is the top-tracked bill with 15 reported sightings. It was released into the wild in Dayton, Ohio, wandered through the South and spent a long time in Texas, ventured into Utah, and was last seen someplace in Michigan’s upper peninsula, not too far from where it was first sighted.
This site is a labor of love and has been around since 1998. That really is a lot longer than most sites! Check it out here. Easy come, easy go…
