Jackpot! Found $1.92 Today

Today I ran some errands and found $1.38:
  • 4 quarters
  • 3 dimes
  • 1 nickel
  • 3 pennies
Then this evening I braved the heat and took a walk. I found another 54 cents! That makes $1.92 that I found today. 

I found these coins all over the place:
  • in the street
  • in two change trays (a water machine and a soda machine)
  • in some rocks near a Starbucks
  • in several parking lots, a fast food place and a shopping center
  • at a gas station
So, this windfall puts me over the $35 mark for 2015 so far!

Found 17 Cents at the Store and on a Walk

This morning I went to the grocery store since I was out of milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, you know the drill. Anyway, I found a penny on the floor as I was leaving the store.

Then later this afternoon I walked to Sprouts for their double ad Wednesday sales. On the way, I didn't find a plug nickel (nor a regular nickel or anything else), but on the walk home I found two pennies in the street, three pennies at a gas station, another penny in the street, a nickel in a drive through lane, and a nickel in a parking space in front of an Ace hardware store. 

A worker was out front and saw that I found some money, and we got to talking. He said, "It's always good to find silver money," when I told him I found a nickel. I agreed. Then he told me that one time he found a $100 bill! He was in line at a store and dropped a dollar bill and when he reached down to pick it up, he saw a bill folded into a tiny shape. He put it in his pocket and later unfolded it and saw that it was a $100 bill! 

So cool! The most I've found was a $20 bill once. How about you? What's the largest denomination of money you've found?

Found 7 Pennies on a Walk Today

Today I walked a little farther than usual, to Home Depot. I bought a pair of 3M earmuffs. These are heavy duty sound deadening ear protection headphones. I live in a noisy condo complex (I WANT TO MOVE!). While I'm hear I have to do whatever I can to keep my sanity, so I'm hoping I can wear these while I'm working at the computer and have a bit more peace and quiet.

Anyway, about the seven pennies I found! I found one in the street, one on a sidewalk, a few in a parking lot, and one in a pizza box that was sitting on the top of a trash can. Go figure!

The price at Amazon is better than what I paid!

Happy President's Day -- Found 12 Cents

Today I rode my bike to the post office and library even though they were closed. I dropped a letter in the outside mail box then returned some books to the library. On the way I rode my bike through nearly every parking lot I came to and I found some coins:

  • a penny in a restaurant drive through
  • 2 pennies in another restaurant drive through
  • a nickel in yet another drive through
  • a penny in the Target parking lot
  • a penny at a gas station near a pay phone
  • a penny somewhere (can't remember where!)
  • a penny in my parking lot when I got home

Not bad finding 12 coins with two president's images (Lincoln on the pennies and Jefferson on the nickel). Happy President's day!

I posed my found money next to a stuffed lion my friend mailed to me. Cute!

Found Money and Vintage Hankies


This morning I took a walk and found a dime and seven pennies! They were scattered about:  at two gas stations, at a fast food restaurant parking lot, in some rocks (in two different places). I just love finding money!

I posed these coins next to a vintage hankie a friend sent me. She volunteers at a Habitat for Humanity Re-store in Florida and bought it for me there. Isn't it pretty? I just love it!

I haven't seen Mary in years but we used to work together and we play Words with Friends online so we keep in touch. Getting this pretty gift in the mail made my day! I have a few vintage hankies for sale in my Etsy shop if you'd like to take a look.

Found 37 Cents Today

This morning I found a penny in the parking lot here. Then later I had a meeting so while out I ran to Walmart to get a few more gifts. I found 2 pennies on the floor in different spots and a penny on a shelf. Then as I was leaving the store, I found a nickel in the parking lot. 

I went to the dollar store for a few things (tissues since I am blowing my nose lately like a pro) and found a penny and a dime on the floor! 

Then I went to Sprouts again because I was charged for something yesterday that I didn't buy. So, I checked the Starbucks drive through lane again and found 2 pennies, a nickel, and a dime. Yippee!
