Found 14 Cents Today at the Grocery Store

Today I went to the grocery store and found 14 cents in the change tray! One of the pennies is an old wheat penny, a 1954 penny. The mint mark is S (San Francisco). I rarely find coins with the S mark.

I took my two grandkids to McDonald's after school and they found a ton of coins in the drive through at the first window where people pay. My granddaughter found 52 cents and my grandson 15 cents! I gave them each a quarter because I wanted one of the nickels she found. It was a 1954 just like the penny I found! What a coinky dink. 

Did you hear about Saturn's new moon? It's my namesake!

Found Two Pennies

Today I went to the library then took a walk. I found a penny! Then I headed over to Fresh and Easy. On the way out, I spotted a penny on the floor. 

The 1972 penny's mint mark is S for San Francisco. I rarely find those!

I put this pretty tablecloth on my table today. I'm hoping it helps me keep it cleared off and keeps me from stacking so much junk on it.

Found 13 Cents in the Parking Lot, at the Library, and at the Grocery Store

Today I went to run a few errands. First I parked in the grocery store parking lot and walked to the library. On the way, I found the shiny 2012 penny in the parking lot.

Then at the library I found another penny! I picked up the DVD of Season 2 of Boardwalk Empire and checked it out.

Then I went to Fry's and spotted the dime under an endcap on the floor next to a checkout lane. 

Then while checking out, I found the last penny on the floor.

The 1972 penny is stamped "S," which means it was made in San Francisco. Yay! I rarely find coins with the S mint mark.
