Operation

The name Where's Willy? is derived from Wilfrid Laurier, the seventh Prime Minister of Canada, whose portrait is shown on the ticket for five dollars. This note is also the smallest in Canada, where there are no bills to a dollar or two more, in contrast to the United States. There are now only denominations of $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50 and $ 100

In the entry screen of the website, the Canadian postal code, or the U.S. postal code of the place where you received the certificate as well as the serial and the serial number can be entered. For international users, a special input side is provided on which one finds selected foreign locations.

If the certificate is already registered, you get a hit message that indicates where the note was previously registered, how far away this place is and how long it has taken for the distance traveled. As in the U.S., entered notes are marked with a stamp to prompt other, also enter the certificate (visit www.whereswilly.com ) by some people. If the user wishes, he can be informed of a later hit the bills entered by him by SMS and / or e -mail.
