Vacation - Stamped Bills

Started by teepeejay

Would it fair-play to take stamped Canadian currency out of the country and spend it? I'm going to Florida next week and I'm wondering if it would be possible for one of my bills that I spend there to accually get a hit on i'ts way back to the homeland. This would be more of an experiment to see if those George guys would ever enter a Canadian bill, if they happened across it. Has anyone been hit from the states? Would it count? And could I spend Canadian currency down there just to see what does happen?

Good question!!

While there have been numerous Willy Bills that have received hits south of the border, most were obtained via Banks or currency exchanges. Why not bring along a few and see what happens, but I'd be sure to have the bulk of the cash in 'Greenbacks' just to be safe. You can always register with Where's George and enter your U.S. money there and then be able to track it, no matter which Country it ends up in. I don't know if anyone here has had that experience, so I hope someone else has an answer for you.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes!!

Will future editions be able to support them? Just curious. I haven't been to the US in 10 years, but I do track American bills at WG when they come my way, usually via eBay sales, and I've never sent any marked Canadian bills south of the border

YOUR MONEY YOUR HOLIDAY NORMAL SPENDING SO WHY NOT. VALID HIT FROM THE USA ??? QUESTIONS FOR DR. SYSTEM USES POSTAL CODE SO HOW WOULD IT TAKE A ZIP CODE? YOU HAVE A GOOD QUESTION THAT COULD USE AN EXPERT TO ANSWER.
YOU WILL TAKE A BEATING ON EXCHANGE DOWN THEIR UNLESS YOU FIND SOME PLACE THAT HAS A PROMOTION ACCEPTING CANADIAN AT PAR. LOOK FOR THEM THEY ARE THERE BUT HARD TO FIND ANYMORE,
I ALWAYS CARRY A FEW HUNDRED CANADIAN JUST FOR THAT REASON,
ALSO IF YOU GET A SPEEDING TICKET (IF DRIVING) SOME STATES EXPECT TO BE PAID RIGHT THEN & THERE IN CASH AND SOME DO TAKE CANADIAN AT PAR. ASK THE NICE STATE TROOPER I AM SURE HE WILL TELL YOU … WISCONSIN TROOPERS TAKE CANADIAN AT PAR… (KNOW BY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE)
I WAS GOING HOW FAST SIR … OH SORRY MY SPEEDO IS IN KM'S NOT MILES … YES SIR I KNOW AND I KNOW BY YOUR AGE THAT YOU LEARNED MILES IN SCHOOL SO CALL THIS A REFRESHER COURSE $75.00 CASH PLEASE, HOWEVER WE DO ACCEPT CANADIAN DOLLARS AT PAR. THANK YOU SIR HAVE A GREAT DAY! (I WISH I HAD KNOW THE STATE TROOPER BALL JOKE WHEN HE STOPPED ME).
HAVE A GREAT TRIP SAY HI TO MICKEY FOR ME. 8:-)

If some one does find a bill they would have come to this site (CMT) which would accept the postal code. Right?? I'll be looking for your George bills MmmBeer and everyone elses. I'm also a member of "Where's George" but I only use it for info purposes. I'll see what happens anyway.
