Greetings Frustrated Where's George? User!

 I feel your pain... to find a Where's George? bill, get
excited about tracking its history, only to find nothing, nada, zip.
When you are done reading this note, please click on the link at the
bottom of the page to send me an email requesting that I look into the
problem, and I just might be able to find out why your bill has no
history.

 In the mean time, here are some things that typically cause your
bill entry or entries not to be found in the database, yet have
been marked or stamped with "wheresgeorge.com".

 First, some people don't quite get how Where's George?
works, and simply stamp or mark bills without entering them into the database at all. As much as I attempt to convey that this is wrong, it still happens. They typically think that even without entering the bills in the database it helps promote the site. But unfortunately, it causes problems down the road for good people like yourself. Second, some people break the rules by stamping and/or marking their bills, writing down the serial numbers, and entering into the database AFTER THEY'VE SPENT the bills! If someone finds the bills before the person got home to enter the bills, you'll get no history. Worse yet, when they do finally enter the bills, the hits are out of order, and then THEY write me to complain. Even worse still, some people just plain forget to enter the bills or lose the paper with the numbers. None of this would happen if everyone followed the . Third, plain old human error accounts for occasional problems. It is possible that the previous entry is in the database, but the owner of the bill entered the wrong Series (year), Denomination, or mistyped the Serial number. Please take a close look at your bill and verify that you have entered the info correctly. If not, just re-enter the correct info and you may just find its history. (Then read the about deleting the incorrect bill entry.) Finally, if you do not receive a personal note from me with the results of the search, I could not find any history or errors in the database. If I do find an error of some sort, I'll fix it and notify you of the results. In the mean time, be sure to run the "Your Bills" report and look at the "Bills I've Hit" report for a history of any bills you've entered that had a history. You just might find your answer there. Thanks for visiting Where's George?!! -Hank Where's George? Webmaster
