Almost Two Months into 2020: Found Money Status

Well, I've dragged my feet for almost two months before updating my found money blog. It seems like this year is flying by, and each time I think of writing a blog post, I get distracted by something or other (like a cup of coffee or an episode of American Greed or something else equally important). 

So, here we go. My first blog post of this year.

I've been finding plenty of money lately. In fact, I've found two $1 bills. Sometimes it takes me well into the year before I find paper money so this is starting out as a good year for finding money. 

I found one of the bills in line at the grocery store. I watched two people stand there and pay for their stuff until it was my turn. Neither of them picked it up so score! I snapped it right up.

Today I found 15 cents (a nickel and a dime) in a water vending machine. Pretty much every day lately when I go somewhere, I find a few coins.

In all, since the first of the year I've found $9.44! Woo hoo. I also found a Mexican coin.
