Anybody do this? It's oddly addicting.

Basicaly, you register your dollar bills, and, if other people also register the same bill you can track its movement across the country. Some people go all out, and create custom stamps, etc to mark bills.

I heard where scientists are very interested in this site because they can follow how diseases are spread. Or something like that.

Oh, here it is.

I've seen a couple of the $1 bills way out here in Hawaii. It's pretty cool to log on, enter the dollar's serial number, and see where it's been.

It's interesting but terribly annoying to navigate. I saved a bill as my favorite but I can't figure out where the favorites link is and the bill I did register doesn't show up in my history.

[edit]Wait, I see that it updates every 20 minutes, maybe it'll be better then.

I agree, the site layout stinks.
