For users who avidly track their dollar bills and are wondering if they have to repeat the process exclusively on a dollar-to-dollar basis each and every single time, TrackDollarBills is pleased to inform that it is now possible for users to enter several dollar notes at the same time, although this feature is only available to users who have entered a total of at least one hundred bills, separately. Having done so, these users will also be upgraded to the premium membership status, essentially enabling them to enter more than one dollar note at any given time.

For ardent users who are on a vacation but are wondering how they will continue to track and enter their dollar bills into the site, especially if they don’t have access to the internet, TrackDollarBills suggest that they write down all the information needed by the site on a piece of paper, such as the bill’s series, its serial number, the denomination of the bill, where was the bill obtained from, the physical condition of the note, or any related comments that they may have with regards. They can then enter all the information collected into the site when they return home from their vacation, and hopefully the paper money that they have spent will result in a hit as they do this.

If a bill was received while a user is travelling on a plane or in a bus or even a boat, they can enter in the destination that they were heading to instead. Recording the location that they were originally from also works as well. In the rare event where a user receives back the same bill that they have been tracking down, they are requested to contact the site’s support team for advice as TrackDollarBills doesn’t allow the same dollar bill to be entered in twice by the same user.

Also note that the site ranks its user as well as its participating countries in order to add a little bit of a competitive edge to the whole experience of tracking dollar bills. Statistics and reports are kept on the number of dollar notes that have been entered into the system, as well as the countries that they represent based on the same frequency. These rankings are updated on a daily basis and the site will post and update the countries and the names of those who are in the lead for the last seven days consecutively. Country rankings can be increased by simply encouraging friends and families to take part in this fun and interesting hobby. The more people that enters their dollar bills come from a particular country, the higher the chances of that country taking the lead on the score boards.

In order to avoid unwanted statistical issues or errors, TrackDollarBills users are encouraged to enter in their dollar bills within one week upon receiving them, or as soon as they possibly can. To date, TrackDollarBills have registered a total of 4,763 members. The number of dollar bill entries recorded so far is 32,567 and the overall value of dollar bills tracked up to now exceed more than 2.5 million dollars.

In order for a user to begin tracking down their US paper currency on the TrackDollarBills website they must first access the ‘Enter A Dollar Bill,’ page. Of course, this can only be done after they’ve registered as a member and have logged into the site. Once a member has entered all the information required, and upon hitting the ‘submit’ button, they will then be able to view all of the reports, graphs, and statistics generated for that particular dollar bill in question.

The information that a user is required to enter in order to properly track their dollar bills are the bill’s denomination, the bill’s series, it’s serial number, the user’s current zip or postal code, the current country of residence, where was the bill obtained or received from, what is the current condition of the note, and any comments or findings that a user may want to note down on that particular bill.

The denomination of the dollar bill one wishes to track is the first entry which is required. This should essentially be $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, accordingly. Making sure that the right amount is entered is vital in ensuring an accurate reading.

The next piece of information needed is the bill’s series or the year that the bill is printed. Examples of bill series’ are 2006, 2003A, 2003, 2001, 1999, 1995, 1993, 1988A, 1985, 1981, 1981A, 1977, 1977A, 1969, 1969A, 1969B, 1969C, 1969D, 1963, 1963A, and 1963B. Along with this, the bill’s serial number is also required. The serial number on a dollar bill is notably the most crucial information on the list of questionnaires so users should be very careful about entering this information correctly. Serial numbers are usually alphanumeric and 10 to 11 digits long.

Next, a user will be required to enter his or her current zip or postal code, as well as country. After this information is entered, users will be asked for the location in which they received the bills they wish to track, as well as the current condition of that particular bill. The site recommends that a rating system of brand new, very good condition, decent condition, or poor condition, be used for general standardization.

Last but not least, users can leave any comments that will help with the identification process of the dollar bill, like a tear or a unique marking, or even anecdotes to make the story of the journey of the bill more interesting and colorful. These comments will be visible to other members so users are reminded to bear that in mind when commenting on their dollar bills, and they are encouraged to be as creative as they can with these remarks as well. Note that the site is against its users defacing the dollar bills they wish to track, which means vandalizing the dollar bill to the point where the note is no longer intelligible or even spent, as this is deemed illegal by the US Government. The site also advises its users to refrain from personally marking or writing on their dollar bills.

Canadian Money Tracker (www.cdn-money.ca), is one of the top Canadian currency tracking website available today. Like all other tracking websites, the Canadian Money Tracker site is all about their currency, the Canadian Dollar, and where in the country has the currency travelled to, or better still, which countries have the money settled in. When you enter in the information required to track a note, the system saves all the information in its database and a hit occurs when someone else subsequently enters the same banknote information again, and the entire journey, if any, of that particular bank note in question, will be mapped out before your very eyes!

Registration on the site is absolutely free and some of the benefits users enjoy are ‘hit’ e-mail notifications, forum participation, weekly activity reports, and competing in the Canadian Money Tracker’s Top 10 List.

The site was created by Douglas Robertson in 1999, just for fun. He was also interested in experimenting with the then new and upcoming Java Servlets. The site has since garnered such an encouraging interest amongst currency trackers that Mr Robertson decided to maintain the site, and because of sheer fascination, he has since added additional applications and features to make the experience of tracking Canadian currency more enjoyable.

The site ensures privacy and security of it users by not making it mandatory for them to give unnecessary information out. All the site requires is a name and an e-mail address, for verification purposes. The e-mail information is necessary so the site can send its users ‘hit’ notifications, and these e-mail addresses are kept anonymous, as a feature, so user information will not be compromised.

The Canadian Money Tracker website also rates user level by how active they are on the site. The user level also determines how many notes each user is allowed to enter per-day on the site, as well as special privileges. The levels used to categorize a user are newbie, interested newbie, dedicated newbie, senior newbie, junior user, user, regular user, dedicated user, senior user, tracker, regular tracker, dedicated tracker, senior tracker, master tracker, and Superior Tracker.

User who makes significant contributions to the site are also honored by the site administrator by naming them ‘Evangelists’. These evangelist assist in the development of the site in many ways, which include, finding bugs in new versions, offering advice to new users or visitors, and even being very active on the site. The same criteria applies to all ‘Evangelist’ wanting to reach the various user levels on the site though.

Users on the site are also encouraged to create profiles, although this is not mandatory. User profiles adds a different dimension to the whole experience of tracking notes, it helps users to get to know each other better and share exciting and fun currency stories. Some users have been known to go the extra mile into making their profiles unique and interesting to read.

So far the amount of users that have been registered on the site exceeds over 49 thousand people. The site has had a little more than 131 thousand hits so far and the number of notes that have been entered since it launch is faring well above the 1.6 million mark.

The EuroBillTracker website has been tracking Euro banknotes circulating the globe since early 2002. Said to be inspired by the Where’s George website of the United States, the site was created by Philippe Girolami and managed by an international non-profit team. The growth of the site is credited to active users who take care of the forums, translate the site, provide email support, and handle various other tasks. This free to use website is developed with the sole purpose of tracking Euro banknotes as it travels around the globe.

Basically, what the site does is extract various disseminated information by generating graphs and statistics, ultimately notifying its users as the Euro currency makes its way around the world. It also literally tracks Euro banknotes by informing a user who originally enters a banknote information into the system and subsequent users with the same banknote information, by email, on its whereabouts, at any given time. It also statistically ranks various other related details such as the most number of notes entered by a user, best countries in term of frequency of tracking, as well as which countries are the notes most settled in.

Typically, a user enters information of their Euro banknotes on the site and if a note is already registered, the user is notified immediately on its historic whereabouts, and anytime that particular note is entered again on the system, an email notification will be sent to whoever that has entered the information of that particular note - past, present and future. Currently, more than 46000 notes are registered, on an average, at the website every day, and since its launch, a little more than 50 million notes have been tracked.

Due to its popularity, a community of trackers, from the higher volume tracking countries, was started up to help support the site, especially in the Benelux countries, Finland, and Slovenia. Ironically, the number of users from the more populated nations such as France, Spain, and Ireland have been low.

This community has also been organizing annual pan-European meetings since 2004, and in August 2008, a conference was held in Ljubljana, to discuss its bright future. Due to its success, it is now consented that a new pan-European meeting be held every six months. Apart from these yearly international engagements, local national gatherings at various levels have also been organized in support of its effort.

Currently, the website is said to be administered by a non-profit organization called The European Society for EuroBillTrackers, which has its headquarters in Belgium. This outfit was said to have stemmed from a principal disagreement with the founders and webmasters of the site, causing a split of the EuroBillTracker website late in 2007, but was later integrated back into a single site in January 2008.

To date, the number of users registered on the site have exceeded over 130000, and the total value of all Euro banknotes entered so far is well over the billion mark, a very encouraging statistic indeed. Here’s to wishing the same success for our site here at TrackDollarBills
