Good Money – A Project to Encourage Good Deeds

Good Money is a project by Good Virus that aims to inspire people to spend their money wisely and use their dollar bills for good. For the project, people stamp their $1 and $5 bills with text that reads: “This money has been used for good,” as well as provides a link to the Good Virus website. The idea is that through social influence, a chain reaction of good deeds will be started.”

For the project, Good Virus is asking anyone who finds one of its stamped dollar bills in circulation to log it on its website and enter the location where the bill, so the project’s influence can be mapped.

The creators write on the Good Virus site:

“We want to see if the Good Virus effect plays out with money. We’re thinking that if we give a few dollars to someone who needs food, the money is then in circulation. Perhaps the next person who gets the bill will read the message and be inspired to spend it on a good cause too, and so on and so on…

Good Virus of course isn’t about money, but the team behind the project is interested to see what develops.

To participate, you can buy the stamp for $9.50, or simply write “THIS MONEY HAS BEEN USED FOR GOOD” in your own letters. It doesn’t really matter. All We ask is that people track the serial number on the map below, so we can map and track the effect.
