I was just curious if anyone here did the WheresGeorge money tracking. I do it every once in a while, started when my son was little and his school did it.

I do it. Never sent for the stamp etc.. But I do check a bill if I see one. Haven't seen one in years.
T.S. and Z. Basically it's a stamp on one dollar bills that says "where's George" . If you look up the serial number on the site, it'll show where the bill has been. And you can enter it into the data base like, "got it in change at the 7-11 on Main and 6th in whatever city". Kind of fun. |

I do not have a stamp either, I just write the "www.wheresgeorge.com" website on the bill with a pen. It is not part of the government and they do not help at all. It would be nice if they would at least send out a list of bills that they had to destroy so you would know.

I gots me a few of doze The $1 is still a big part of circulation...especially in the stripper bars...lol It is the one cent penny that they just stopped making, but it is still currency and usable. I do not know why the media made a big deal about it, there are so many out in circulation now that they really do not need to make more. The $2 bill is still being made also, but it is like the $1 coins...most people don't like using them.

There is a regulation about how much of each bill each bank is suppose to have on hand during business hours. The $2 bill and the dollar coins are required, but just at the bank and not the registers. So some times they have to go in the back to get them (which means the lazy tellers might say they are out).
even we up here heard about the US penny being discontinued something about Honest Abe being featured?? they also went into this spiel about how Abe was a wrestler before he was the president? lolMaybe that is the real reason that trump pushed to stop the penny, it was just a reminder that presidents use to be honest...lol |

According to the internet, (so ya know it's true), it cost a little more than 3.6 cents to make a penny. So the mint and the Prez wanted to save a few pennies and stop making pennies.

That is the public answer they are pushing now, we know our government can not do anything to actually save money...lol
But really, only the circulating pennies have stopped being produced. They are still making the limited runs for the coin collectors. My guess is that they are working on finding a new alloy that is cheaper than zinc for the filler material, or they are just going to wait until zinc prices fall again. |

As Mo said, reason to stop making the penny's is due to it cost three times as much to make them then what they are worth.. But there are so many out that it will be years before you don't see them around anymore.. |

But there are so many out that it will be years before you don't see them around anymore.. Humm not according to this site. They stopped production making penny's.. The federal government has stopped manufacturing new pennies, but the Federal Reserve will continue to recirculate the roughly 114 billion pennies currently in existence for as long as possible. How long existing pennies remain in circulation depends largely on consumer behavior. http://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/penny-production-cessation-faqs |
