2022 Found Money... Late to the game. Oh well!

Well, I've been meaning to post about my found money for 2022 but obviously other stuff caught my attention. How's your new year going? Mine is good. Keeping busy, staying out of trouble. I went to the bead show in Tucson and met up with some friends I hadn't seen in years. Fun times. 

And I went to the Tucson Festival of Books. I heard a panel speak about the state of our world, basically. The panel was called Crisis of Trust, and it reminded me of how grateful I am that President Biden is in office. 

The authors who spoke were Alexander Vindman, Tom Nichols, and Dave Pell. Excellent, excellent, excellent. 

Other than that, same old, same old pretty much.

This year so far I've found $5.71. Not too bad for finding the random penny, nickel, etc., here and there. 

The largest coin I've found is a quarter (well, 9 of them) but no bills yet this year. I am ever hopeful though!

I just walked to the grocery store and found 2 foreign coins just sitting there on the shelf of the coin machine. I guess the machine spit them out and the person didn't want them. Well, I do! And then while I walked through the parking lot and then a drive-through, I found 78 cents total ! 

Oh, see the picture? I also found that pink button and brown bead somewhere along the line. 

How about you? Have you found any money lately?
