Uhhhh, did he just make a deal to go broke?

Or do the WG bills have to come from somewhere other than his students? :lol:

LOL....I've got one laying here beside my computer that my son brought in. The guy will have to send me an additional 45 cents for postage though if he wants it. Took the bill 3 years to get from San Antonio to DFW.

He'd make a tidy profit if his students came across a lot of stamped Andys...... :P

I ask others to find wilds for me, but I only pay face value for them. I don't want to find out where they've been that bad....

AJ is in Lakewood, CA, and has big plans for this evening!
I noticed the bill in my wallet. I got it out of the ATM at Chase Bank in Lakewood, CA in April, 2012. It is in very good condition. I plan on spending it tonight when I take my wife out to a romantic dinner at Taco Bell.

Whenever I clicked to go to WG to check out a hit in this thread, there was a banner from CafePress with ES artwork on it!

Cool!

If only that showed up for everyone, and not just those who happened by there.....

It's cute when it tries to sell me my own artwork....

George gripe while I'm in this thread: I noticed the guy in front of me at the soda machine in work last night put in a bill that had a red circular stamp around the Treasury seal..... meaning it wasn't one of mine. Couldn't stop him in time to keep the machine from eating it up forever. Someone lost a hit..... :(

Dang it! A hit in Fairbanks, AK, but I don't get credit for it because it was given away before the hit was entered. :x

Then there's this bill, which I just know is trying to find it's way to christie! Shelton's only about 10 miles away, right? 8)

I absolutely HATE the alternate hit option that was added a couple years ago... before that, most people would have just entered the bill as a legit hit anyway. I don't know why Hank is so OCD about whether you still have physical possession of the bill or not as long as it's entered in reasonable time...

One of the 5 Illinois counties I need to complete my state bingo has an alternate hit. I fucking hate them.... :evil: :evil: :evil:

George has been wandering for two and a half years! Why shouldn't I get credit for the hit, just because he might have moved on from Fairbanks in the last few hours/days/weeks? :roll:

I don't know, but it would have been cool had that been my 10,000th hit. I'm currently 15 away by my total (I think my official counter shows me 18 away, but I count hits that were administrator deleted long after I had recorded them)....

I was there in 1993, and with a few exceptions, they did not accept $US. But if you didn't have any Australian money your last one or two days in the country, and your sob story was good enough, and you really wanted whatever it was you wanted to buy, and they really wanted to sell it to you, you could use a George or 20. This was almost 20 years ago, but I don't think they've made it illegal for residents to possess U.S. currency.
