Today as I was walking into Fresh and Easy, I spotted a penny. Stuck in the asphalt. But something I found out today, with the temperature just over 100, is that when it's that hot out, the asphalt, the gooey part, is soft. First I tried to pry it up with my fingernail but it didn't budge but the asphalt did. So, I used my car key and it popped right up. I used a tissue to pick it up and of course it stuck.
Oh well. A found penny is a found penny.
As you can see it's a mess. I think I'll put this penny in a little bag and then put it in my found money jar. And the penny was tails up so I can't read the date on this one.
This Found Money FACTS:
Denomination: 1 stuck penny
Year: ???
U.S. Mint: ???
Condition: stuck and sticky
How many coins/bills found to date: 48
How much found money to date: $1.12
Find a penny, pick it up, and all day you'll have good luck. Find a penny, leave it lay, and you will live to rue the day.
