Track Gandhi Tracks Your Indian Rupee Note While Where’s George? Tracks Dollar Bills

Developed by Hank Eskin, Where’s George? is a unique and interesting website. The website as the name suggests tracks George wherever he goes. In other words, Where’s George? is a fun website that helps you to track your US currencies wherever it goes. Inspired by this idea, there were many other sites started by people from different countries. Like, Where’s Willy? was started for Canada, and Track Gandhi was started for India. You can see the complete list here and find out if your country is there.

Where’s George? – Track USD Bills

So, coming back to the point, “how does Where’s George? track your money?” is the question. If you already clicked the above link and glanced through the website, you might have got an idea of how it works.

The core idea is simple. You enter the zip code of your state and the serial number of the note/bill you have. This is registered in their database. When someone else registers the note/bill with same serial number, then a “hit” has happened. The user who registers enters a some information regarding where he got and the status of the bill (whether new, old or wrinkled etc.) and the place is tracked through the Zip code. Thus, you can keep track of the bills you registered.

Bills of all denominations like 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100 USD can be tracked using this service. The website is pretty active and gets real time hits every second or two. You would have a fun time tracking your bills. You need to register with this website before you start registering the bills.  Go ahead and try this service, if you are a US resident!

Track Gandhi – Track Indian Currency Notes

This is completely similar to the Where’s George? concept. You need to enter the location and the serial number of the note you have. Then, wait for the hit. Compared to the Where’s George?, the Indian version is pretty lame and not so active. The hits, according to the map is mostly near Karnataka (3056) and other South Indian areas (I wonder how?!). The next popular place where hits have been registered is near the Indian capital New Delhi (1974).

Come on, lets make the Indian version popular too. Go ahead and register. Share it with your friends too.
