They track dollars.

When you get a US dollar that says "Where's George?" … you can type in it's serial number, say how you got it and where, and they'll tell you where it's been.

Very interesting.

And this has been going on since at least 2002.

This page came up in: AboutLogistics. We were imagining that in the future, people will carry packages across the country for each other, just because they can. Similar to WheresGeorge: You don't really have to do it; You can just do it, because you can. And it's somewhat educational to do so, and gives you a slightly different view of the world. That is: We see, in a very visceral way, that money moves. And also, that the online world isn't just a fairy world in it's own dimension– it is connected with the MaterialWorld?.
