Finding Money... 36 cents just today!

Today I worked a booth at the business expo then I ran some errands. I did look on the ground and floor at the expo but didn't find anything. 

But later at the dollar store I found three dimes! Then later I found a nickel in a drive through lane. The penny? Don't remember but I think in the parking lot. 



In all since I last posted, I've found $1.54! Yay!

Here's what I found:

24 pennies
3 nickels
9 dimes
1 quarter,
a Peter Piper Pizza token
a 2012 1 piso coin from Republika ng Philipinas

I looked up the foreign coin and it's worth $0.019 (less than 2 cents). Here's the info from the Numista website.

But I still like to find foreign money!

Have you found any coins or paper bills lately? I'm itching to find more paper money!

Finding Coins Here, There, and Everywhere!

It's been several weeks since I last posted. I've been finding money, as the title says here, there, and everywhere!

I've found $1.75 since my last post. I also found two Canadian nickels! I thought that was odd, finding two of them and at different times and places. 

There isn't much exciting to report about this found money. I found it in the normal places:  on the floor of stores, in parking lots, in drive through lanes, in change trays of vending machines and coin machines, etc.


My kitty turned 2 yesterday! Here he is with his new Kitty Kong. I filled it with treats and then later with catnip. He likes it!
