<p>Page creation</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Where's George?''' and '''Where's Willy?''' are a pair of websites that track the travels of paper currency. The ''Where's George?'' (WG) site tracks United States currency, and the ''Where's Willy?'' (WW) site tracks Canadian currency. On both websites, a user enters the serial number and series of a given note, along with the user's postal code, which enters the note into the site's database. When the same note is entered by another user, information regarding previous entries is available, such as distance traveled and time of travel. As a general rule, a note that has been entered into the sites' database are marked (usually with a ink stamp) as to indicate that it is being tracked.<br /> <br /> == Where's George?, Where's Willy?, and Geocaching ==<br /> Because of the inherent ability to track the travels of ''Where's George?'' and ''Where's Willy?'' notes, it became natural to use these as [[hitchhiker|hitchhikers]] within geocaches. However, the use of such notes tends to run counter to the purposes of the tracking sites. It is the intent of the ''Where's George?'' and ''Where's Willy?'' sites to track the ''natural'' flow of currency, and the use of ''WG'' and ''WW'' notes within geocaches tend to be not natural according to the definition that the ''WG'' and ''WW'' sites use.<br /> <br /> However, there has emerged something of a compromise regarding this conflict. Knowing that currency would be tracked on the websites, ''Where's George?'' and ''Where's Willy?'' agree to allow [[geocache note|geocache notes]] to be tracked on those websites. However, such notes are designated as ''Geocache Bills'' by the websites, which make them ineligible for records regarding numbers of hits. These sites are set up rules regarding the tracking of Geocache Bills in order to prevent abuse of the websites' actual intent.<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> *[http://www.wheresgeorge.com Where's George?]: United States currency tracking website<br /> *[http://www.whereswilly.com Where's Willy?]: Canadian currency tracking website<br /> *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%27s_George Wikipedia article for Where's George?]<br /> *[http://www.wheresgeorge.com/wrapper.php?page=top10bills_dgc Rules regarding Geocache Bills]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Web]]</div>
