Would a bill that is part of a bank robbery be likely to travel more than 2000 miles in 11 days...AND receive a hit?

...or would a prankster/fakester be more likely to enter such a distance/speed?

Perhaps a police officer entered it to find out where it started (for possible evidence).

It's interesting food for thought anyway.

I wonder what the psychological profile is for a typical robber. Would one want to brag? If so, then it seems ironic that one would go through the trouble to take the bills as far away from the scene as possible as quickly as possible and then brag publically about it. It's hard for me to understand. Then again, robbers are on the "fringes" of the bell curve so anything is possible IMHO.

Perhaps law enforcement agencies could use the site to track such bills. Just think...if one had a bunch of stamped bills in his/her wallet/purse and he/she were robbed, perhaps officers could use the serial numbers to help them track where the money came from after subsequent hits were reported.

Hank, this might be a point in your favor towards keeping the stamp and site. A portion of the proceeds from the stamps could go as a charity towards enforcement of laws to benefit people who are victims of robberies.

Perhaps banks/law enforcement agencies could purchase scanners designed to read serial numbers of Georged bills and file them in a database that they can use for honing in on suspected robbers of Georgers. :)

BTW, who is victimized when bills are Georged?

That's onother point I don't understand.
