Canadian Money Tracker is a website that tracks Canadian paper money — most commonly five dollar bills, but also higher denominations. The website is free and was launched in 1999. The site has a large number of users in Western Canada, especially in Saskatchewan and Alberta, but does have regular trackers in every region of the country.
Since Canada has replaced the one and two dollar bills with more durable coins, the $5 note is the smallest denomination tracked by Canadian Money Tracker, although a small number of $1s and $2s have been entered into the system.
The free site allows people to enter their local postal code and the serial and series of any Canadian denomination from $5 up to $100 they want to track. Once a bill is registered, the site reports the time between sightings, the distance traveled and any comments from the finders, and anyone who registered the bill earlier learns about it by e-mail and/or text messaging.
The site also includes features such as the furthest traveled bills and the longest lifespan for tracked bills, as well as discussion forums with a wide range of topics.
To increase the chance of having a bill reported, users write or stamp text on the bills encouraging bill finders to visit www.cdn-money.com and track the bill's travels.
