Found 21 Cents Today and One Penny Is Curled

This morning I went to the post office and the dollar store. While walking to the post office I found 5 pennies and one of them is curled. See it? So weird. 

This deformed penny and another one were in the street so I guess they were getting a beating out there in the traffic or maybe someone took a pair of pliers to that one.

Later I found a dime in a parking lot then a penny in another parking lot. Later in the day I found the nickel in some rocks at a grocery store parking lot.

One of the other pennies is a wheat penny from 1941! Yay! I love to find older coins.

Found a Token and 21 Cents

Today I rode my bike and found a token that has MC on it and 21 cents! I'm not sure what the MC stands for, but I saw it in the street so stopped and picked it up. I thought it was a quarter. Oh well.

I found the coins (6 pennies, a nickel, and a dime) in these places:

• in the street
• in a parking lot
• in a change tray of a water vending machine
• in a coffee drive through

Found 8 Coins Today

This evening I walked to Sprouts for their double ad Wednesday sale. I found a few things, mainly black grapes for 69 cents a pound. Yummy! On the way there, I found a nickel in my parking lot, a penny in the street, another penny standing up in a crack in the gutter, and a dime in the street.

Then I shopped.

As I was leaving the store, I found a penny in the track of the door, then another penny beside a water vending machine, a penny beside a car in the parking lot, and finally another penny in a drive-through lane. 

Have you found any money lately?

Found 21 Cents Today on a Walk

Today the weather was wonderful--cool and breezy. I took a sort of long walk and on the way to the grocery store, I found a penny in a bank drive through (yes, I take lots of detours on my walks!). 

Then at the store I went ahead and bought one of the small watermelons that were on sale for a dollar each. I had to carry the sucker home so tried to pick one of the smallest ones. It wasn't bad carrying it though. Gotta love weight-bearing exercise!

As I left the store I checked two vending machines that dispense water (I don't get that! Just buy a water pitcher and do it at home!), and I found two dimes! So, I found 21 cents today!

Found 21 Cents While Out and About

Today I went to the dollar store. I walked in and spotted a dime on the floor! I scooped it right up! Then I took a few steps and saw this penny! Nice! 

I was happy finding 11 cents, but then I went to the library to pick up this book to read (can't wait to start it!). In the library's used book sale area, I found another dime! Yay!

This makes five days in a row that I've found money! I hope I can keep the streak alive. Have you found any money recently?

Found Money! 21 Cents!

Today I got an email saying a DVD I had reserved was in at the Scottsdale library. I didn't want to get out in the heat but wanted the DVD (Foyle's War, Season 4). So, I drove over there and went to a thrift store first. I found one of these dimes there.

Then I went to the library, and the DVD wasn't on the hold shelf. After talking to two librarians I found out that the DVD case was available but no DVD was inside. Crap! So, they reordered it for me. Oh well.

Then I stopped at Fry's for a few groceries. While walking around the store, I spotted the grungy looking dime first then the penny! So, I'm happy that I ventured out. Twenty-one cents. Wee ha!
