Found 36 Cents Today and More Earlier This Week That I Can't Claim

For the past few days I've had a nice little visitor. My grandson has been staying with me and even though we (I) found money (and pointed it out to him), he kept it all. And that's okay!

But today he went to stay with his cousins so when I went to the store later in the day, I knew any money I found would be mine! It made me look even harder! 

First I found a dime in a drive through lane, then I checked a water vending machine and found a nickel, then I spotted a dime on the floor of the grocery store! I was thrilled. On the way home I decided to stop and get gas. At the gas station I found a penny then another dime! 

Have you been lucky lately? I hope so!

I've been adding some fun new designs on products in my Zazzle store. Here's one I like:

Found 36 Cents and a Large Spanish Coin

Today I realized I only had enough coffee to make some tomorrow. Well, that is what I call a coffee emergency! So, I walked to Fry's to get both decaf and regular. I mix it about one-third regular and two-thirds decaf so I buy both.

On the way, I saw this dime in a parking lot behind a truck. Then in the grocery store, I found the penny on the floor and the quarter in the change slot (that little extra one that has a metal door that flaps). The quarter was wedged in the slot sideways so I'm glad I felt around a little bit!

Then as I was walking home I saw the large gold tone coin sitting on a parking stop thing. You know, where you pull up and there's that concrete thing that indicates you've driven far enough. It's a large Spanish coin that reads:  Espana 500 Pesetas on one side and on the other side Juan Carlos I y Sofia 1988. After a quick search, it looks like uncirculated coins are worth about $5. Hot dog! I won't add any dollar amount to my blog but this was a nice find!

This month I've found coins from Ecuador, Mexico, and Spain! And the U.S., of course.
