Found a Mess of Coins Today

This morning I went with a friend to breakfast then to a few stores. At an auto parts store I spotted something shiny between two display cases. A nickel and beside it a penny! Then in a parking lot I found another penny.

This afternoon I took a walk to the store and found 7 more pennies, 2 more nickels, and 2 dimes! I found these on the floor of the grocery store, in a coin machine, in a parking lot, next to an ATM. Yay!

A great day... found 44 cents total.

Size Matters -- It's a Dime, Not a Penny

I found two pennies this morning then this afternoon I took a walk and found a whole bunch more coins. Here's what and where (as best as I can remember):

  • this morning, the two pennies in a parking lot
  • then on the walk, four pennies in an apartment building parking lot
  • a dime in the street
  • a penny in the street
  • another dime at a gas station
  • a penny at a car wash
  • what I thought was a penny in the street (but turns out it was a dime and the only reason I could tell was it was smaller than a penny, just as black as a very tarnished penny though, but size does matter)
  • a penny in a parking space in front of an auto parts store

Yay! That's 38 cents found today!

Found a Penny in Front of an Auto Parts Store

I took a walk today before it got dark (and isn't it getting dark sooner?). I walked up to a shopping center and walked around quite a bit of it. I didn't find anything on the way there or in the parking lot, but in front of an auto parts store, I spotted this penny. It was between the curb and parking bumper thingie. 

How are all of you doing? Finding any coins? Any bills? I hope so!
