I went to the bank today to pick up a couple straps of $1s for entering into Where's George. As is my custom, I checked through the straps for "Wilds" (bills already entered into Where's George). I currently average finding a "Wild" for every 500 bills I enter. Imagine my surprise and nerdy excitement at finding three "Wilds" in one strap of 100 $1s.
The first Wild was the most interesting of the three traveling to me all the way from Glen Campbell, PA over 2 years, 196 days, 20 hours, and 11 minutes. (Click Here to View the Bill Report). The bill was marked with a simple two line stamp to the right of the portrait:
The second starting off in Santa Clara, CA (even had a stamp stating so) and took 350 Days, 5 Hours, and 25 Minutes to get to me (Click Here to View the Bill Report). This bill was the most marked up of the bunch with three stamps on the front:
... and one on the back:
The third wild traveled a cool 100 miles to me from nearby San Jose, CA. It traveled slowly to me taking 1 Year, 300 Days, 5 Hours, and 47 Minutes to make the trip (Click Here to View the Bill Report). This bill sported a talk bubble stamp and was the only one not to be stamped in red:
Finding Wilds is one of the joys of Where's George, and hopefully I extraordinary luck in finding three today doesn't lead to a drought moving forward. I've added stamp (two to the first and third) to each bill and will be sending them on their way soon. Can't wait to see where they go next.
