This evening I took a walk, a little longer than normal, but I'm so tired still that I decided maybe I need more exercise. More being the operative word since I haven't been getting hardly any lately, which can make you darned sluggish, too.
So on my walk, I found 2 pennies in a parking space in a neighboring parking lot. Yay! I love to find money!
Have you found any recently? I hope so. And lots!
Denomination: 2 pennies
Year: pennies: 1972, 2001
U.S. Mint: D, D
Condition: tarnished
Total Found Money in 2014 to Date: $31.25
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.

Finally Feeling Better and I Found 17 Cents
Today I finally ventured out again, having just left the house last week to go to the doctor and a quick trip to the store. I'm recovering well from the shingles. Ugh. Can't believe I got shingles!
Here are my articles chronicling this malady: I Have Shingles and On the Mend from the Shingles. I'm so glad this is running its course.
I just checked and there's this handy dandy book to understanding shingles. I would have liked to have known more about it before I became afflicted!
Today I went to the thrift store to drop off some books. I'm trying to declutter inch by inch. Seven books out the door. Yay!
Then I headed to the library where I had some books on reserve waiting for me. Then I went to the grocery store where I found four coins:
It had been almost a week since I'd found any money so I was tickled pink!
Denomination: 2 pennies, a nickel, a dime
Year: pennies: 1995, 2006; nickel: 2013; dime: 1994
U.S. Mint: all D but the dime which is P
Condition: tarnished to shiny
Total Found Money in 2014 to Date: $31.23

Found Two Pennies and What's Really Wrong With Me
Last week I went to the doctor and was told I had a sinus infection. My right eye started feeling extremely itchy later in the week and today I went back to the doctor. I have shingles.
Ugh. I hate it! So check out the link above if you want to see my weirdo get up for keeping a blister near my eye covered so I don't scratch it.
Have you had shingles? Did you survive? I hope so, and guess so if you lived to read this.
Oh, and I found two pennies today. One on the floor of the post office and one at the pharmacy on the floor.
Denomination: 2 pennies
Year: pennies: not going to look
U.S. Mint: pennies: ditto
Condition: tarnished

Found a 1942 Mercury Dime Plus More Coins
Today I ran some errands and while out here's what I found:
- a dime on the floor at the dollar store
- a penny in the parking lot of the dollar store
- a penny on the floor at the grocery store
- a 1942 Mercury dime under the coin machine at the grocery store
- a dime on the grocery store floor
I was so thrilled to find so many coins but especially the 1942 Mercury dime! Woo hoo! I looked it up and it appears to only be worth about $2 but that's okay. I'll keep this coin separate. I'll put in a pinch dime, sort of like a pinch hitter, in my found money jar.
Have you ever found older coins just lying around? I think they're treasures! Checkout these instant treasures:

Found a Penny in the Street This Evening
This evening I took a short walk and found a penny in the street!
I can tell fall is on the way, even though it's topping 100ºF here most days still. For one thing, it's getting dark sooner. By 7 p.m. it's usually pretty well dark now. And it is forecast for a high in the 90s most days coming up, which is always welcome. In the 80s is even better!
