How to enter bill found in USA?

Hi Everyone, I didn't want to register because I spend WAY too much time GEORGEing here in the USA. I found a marked bill in my wallet after a trip to Ottawa, and the site wouldn't let me enter it.
So I just registered to ask you how I can give someone an international hit.
There doesn't seem to be a way to enter the name of any country but Canada, and my entry was rejected because of an invalid postal code. (US codes are 5 numerals.) Please advise.

Best bet is to get the postal code of where you were staying in Ottawa. Should be on a bill, receipt, or a business card.

Then in the comments section, mention where it is now (NY?).

Thanks for taking the time and effort to enter the bill! We really appreciate it!

On the opening page of this site there is a spot to enter serial number only and says nothing about entering postal code. How do the anonymous users from Canada enter a bill without entering postal code?? Do they have to enter postal code after they enter the bill?? I'm curious.

Yes, after they enter the serial number they get the same page we get when we enter bills and it requires a postal code and will not accept anytihing but Canadian postal codes..

Thanks Pooga and BDKingston for confirming that I can't enter it officially as a foreign hit. I used the postal code of Ottawa Lynx stadium where it's 75% likely I rec'd the bill, and made note in the comments section that I noticed it in the US. Once it was enterred, I Anon-emailed VirgoDragon to let him know the details and congratulate him.
BTW, I wasn't able to enter the date I found it because the site won't accept a date more than a week old. So I used today's date. 170 days…200 days, in that range, what difference does a month make? :~)
Thanks for your help. I probably won't visit this site again…except that I'm driving to Ottawa Wednesday and will be watching my change very closely! :~)
