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.

The TrackDollarBills website is relatively new but already it has been gaining a gregarious reputation amongst currency trackers here in the United States, as well as around the world. Like all other tracking websites, TrackDollarBills was created with the intent to track the journey of its native currency, the United States Dollar, as it travels around the world. The site provides statistics on the US paper currency, its members, and the locations in which these dollar bills have been, with the help of its dedicated members. TrackDollarBills also projects numbers and rankings based on the number of dollar bills its member or participating countries have entered into its system at any given time. The site is ultimately a nonprofit, volunteer-based project which is completely free to use, and it actively encourages everyone out there to join in on the fun of tracking dollar bills.

Its users begin their journey by first registering as a member. The site requires only basic mandatory information such as a name and email to start off, and these details are kept anonymous. The collation of emails is so the site can inform its members whenever the dollar bill that they’ve registered into the system receives a ‘hit’. A ‘hit’ is a terminology given when the serial number of a dollar bill that has been registered is entered again by someone else, and every ‘hit’ represents a new person entering the same dollar bill on the site. When this happens, the journey of that particular dollar bill in question will be mapped out to all its past and present owners.

TrackDollarBills will also display a report on each of the dollar bill that a member enters on its site. The report will consist of information such as how many times a bill was entered, the names of the previous members that have entered these bills, the dates in which these dollar bills were entered into the system, the physical distance a bill has traveled, and all the information that the bill was registered under, such as the serial number and denomination.

Asides from individual reports, the TrackDollarBills site also composes graphs that details the circulation of United States Dollar Bills over time by gathering information on how many dollar bills are actually in international circulation as compared to how many of these bills that are registered within the site, along with information on how these bills circulate in other countries. Older information is retained and newer data is collected by using graphs to ascertain how this information changes over the months and years. Apart from this, the site generates statistics and rankings in which members can view and utilize to make the tracking dollar bill experience more rewarding.

The TrackDollarBills site also prides itself in being more than just a website, as its also established itself as a community. Its members have fun talking about everything under the sun through its forums and make new friends this way, or even find a compatible mate who shares the same interests as them, making the site a great way to get to know people from all around the world.
