Anyone else used this?

I stumbled on another website recently which allows users to track any currency. I have been using it for a little while, and I like it. I think that they need some kind of statistics system or something, but otherwise I really like it.

I was just curious if anyone else here has tried it?

Its at: http://www.thedollarspy.com/

I think it's better to take the original: www.wheresgeorge.com
There you got a lot of statistics.

I like the idea to track ANY currency at one site but unfortunately you're able to track from US-locations only so I failed to check some foreign note-data

But then Moneyspy would be the better name than Dollarspy

Yep, and there is no mention of anything other than dollars on that site. I don't believe one can track anything else than dollars there...

Well you can enter any serialnumber and than choose "foreign currency" instead of an USD-denomination in step 2

Of course some improvements would be nice (like beeing able to specify the currency you have

or allow tracking from non-US locations) but I like the idea anyway.

That's the same reason, why I still have some Pound-notes: On the site www.doshtracker.co.uk you can only fill in the data within Brittain.
Why aren't all the trackingsites as international as Eurobilltracker.com is?

Because EU really is something special.

@Dakkus: it certainly is, but then again those other sites are just (unconciously) limiting their own possibilities, which is a pity anyway!

Hmm, according to Where's George http://www.wheresgeorge.com/cool_links.php , Dosh Tracker is no longer active ...

Where's George is "international" in that you can select a location (country/city) outside the US and Canada. You are then assigned some bogus ZIP code. Worked fine when I did it last time; I am not a registered user there though.

Enter your pounds to FindLizzy. It's an international tracking site for the UK pounds.

Thank you:
Allthough I can't enter WHERE in the Netherlands I got the note, it's better than nothing: I registered there and entered the notes (no hits

).
(luckyly I could write it in the comment).

It strikes me that one note was found 30 times. In so many different countries, so it seems to me it's a fake hit.
I would almost think, the webmaster entered that note to show what's possible.

Well - maybe they have some competition like ' which group is the first to get one note travelled around the whole world/us/europe whatever. Could be some guys wanting to have fun...
