Year End Found Money... a good chunk to finish the year

Earlier I braved the wind and cold (if you can call 52 cold) and walked around a shopping center parking lot looking for money. I found a dime in a parking space and 2 dimes in a fast food drive through lane and then four pennies in a store so it was worth it!

With this money (34 cents) added to what else I found since I last posted, I have $6.07 to add to my year's total. So...

Drum roll please!

For all of 2018, I found $68.05.

This is my second best year for finding money but no where close to the $100+ I found in 2015.

Do you have resolutions for 2019? Wow, it feels weird typing that. 

What about you? Found any money lately? About how much do think found this year? Please share and let us know!

Finally Posting After Months Away... So Much Found Money!

I have had trouble (still) logging in to update this blog but here I am finally. 

After several months away, here's the breakdown of what I've found:

229 pennies ($2.29)

17 nickels ($.85)

45 dimes ($4.50)

21 quarters ($7.25)

for a total of $14.89!

I also found 11 foreign coins:  a tiny 1 cent Euro (so cute!), two 10 cent Mexican coins (also little but not quite as cute), some sort of Asian coin (can't read the symbols but there is a man's face that I don't recognize on the front), a 10 cent Canadian coin, a 1 cent Canadian coin, a 5 cent Canadian coin, two $1 Mexican coins, 1 British penny, and a 50 cent Mexican coin.

Those are always so fun to find! 

I also found a couple of tokens (a car wash token and a Peter Piper Pizza token) as well as a copper tree of life pendant. 

Have you thought about giving some rare coins to someone as a gift this Christmas? It might be a fun and unique hobby for a child or for someone who has everything.
