Found $1.11 and Happy Thanksgiving

Since I last posted, I've found $1.11 in change.

Not terribly exciting but just now, I was out running errands and I went to three stores. In the parking lots, on the floor of stores, and in a change tray of a newspaper vending machine I found 32 cents (2 each of pennies, nickels, and dimes). 

There's a lot of money just lying around out there. Have you found any lately? Please let us know and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Found Money in Change Trays

Lately I've been finding coins in change trays. Today I saw that the coin machine at the grocery store had a few coins just sitting there waiting for me, so of course I grabbed them! Then later I spotted more coins in a soda machine change tray. Took them too. Those totaled 61 cents!

In the past few weeks I've found coins in several other change trays. You just have to look! There is never anyone around so I figure finders keepers and all that. In total I found $3.04 in the past few weeks including parking lots, floors of stores, and of course change trays.

And earlier this evening my cute kitty was lying in his box looking adorable. Had to snap a picture of that.

Tourist Found Money

Lately I've been finding a lot of quarters and more change lying around on the floor of stores. I think it's from tourists in a hurry to beat the heat and go camping or hiking or whatever they're doing as they drive through town.

I've found several quarters  in various vending machines:  water vending machines and newspaper vending machines mostly. I've also found money on the floor of stores and in parking lots, etc. The usual places. 

So, since I last posted, I've found a bunch of change. $3.44 worth! That's pretty good for a couple of weeks' worth. I also found a Rwanda coin marked 50. Cool! This is the first time I've found a coin from that country.

Have you found any coins or bills recently? Do tell!

Found Money: 58 Cents

Well, it's been somewhat of a dry spell for finding money. In the past few weeks since I last posted here, I've only found 58 cents. Today I found 8 of those cents, 8 pennies on the floor of stores and in a drive through lane.

The other money, a quarter, a dime, and the rest pennies were found in the typical places.
