Found a Mess of Pennies Today!

I ran a few errands today and found a mess of pennies. Here's where:

• 2 in my parking lot
• 5 next to a trash can in front of a store
• 1 on the floor of the thrift store
• 2 in the library parking lot
• 1 in a random parking space
• 3 in the grocery store parking lot

Yay! I just love days like this when I keep spotting money. I wish some had been silver but 14 cents is just fine with me!

Oh and see that key? I found that today, too. It's a pocket knife! I found some of these pocket knife keys on Amazon in case you don't find one of these and you want one, too.

I Couldn't Not Find Money Today!

Today I drove to my son's house to spend time with all three grandkids. I found a bunch of money today. Here's the where and what of today's found money (that I just kept finding!):

• 1 penny - It was in the street next to a car in front of me while we were stopped at a stoplight. No one was behind me so I put the car in park, hopped out, and picked it up!
• 1 quarter and 2 one-dollar bills - I found the black quarter on the floor at Goodwill then a little later found two $1 bills on the floor. Score!
• 3 pennies - I spotted these on the floor of the grocery store on the way home.
• 10 pennies, 1 nickel, 2 dimes, and 1 quarter - I walked around the parking lot here when I got home and first found a dime and quarter then was picking up some trash to take to the dumpster. I lifted a plastic bag lying on the ground and out fell the 10 pennies, nickel, and other dime!

That's a grand total of $2.89!

I feel like I should go somewhere else today. Several more places! I just kept finding money!

Found 14 Pennies on a Walk

Today was another lovely day out, so I took a walk with my magnet. I headed to the library but on the way stopped and walked down an alley. Right away next to a garbage can, I found 2 pennies. I kept going and eventually found 14 pennies in all!

Some of them are kind of old and I wouldn't doubt if they've been there the whole time. One is bent and 4 are such a mess, I can't read the dates. As you can see in the photo they were all filthy dirty. I had to rinse them off to try to read the dates at all.
