About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,
please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our

US currency does travel overseas frequently, especially larger denominations as some countries require nothing less for exchange purposes. At least one of the most documented dollar bills on that website, A1473---0F, traveled from Illinois to Australia, then Philippines, then Korea, then back to the US, then New Zealand, then China, then Singapore, most of that between Oct 2003 and Oct 2005.
Since the bill will pass through many hands that won't actually document its whereabouts, we have no idea of knowing if other bills that were undocumented had actually left the US, and then returned.
