I Was Surprised Finding This Money

The past week plus I've found some surprising money. Just the other day in a coin machine change tray I found two Kennedy half dollars plus some other coins. Who just leaves those lying there? Well, someone did and I found them! 

I also found three foreign coins this time:  a British penny and two Canadian coins (a dime and a quarter). 

So, I found $2.37 total plus the foreign money, which I don't count.

I just love finding money so it's always a thrill. Have you found any money lately?

Happy Groundhog's Day from Found Money

Happy Groundhog's day! In celebration, Mister Tom Cat and I went outside and watched about 6 squirrels scampering up the tall pine trees in our yard. Mister had been watching them from the front window, his tale smacking the window, he was so excited! So I slung him over my shoulder and out we went. 

Mister is such a good boy (most of the time) and I'm tempted to get him one of these:

Doesn't it look like fun? (I know, if you're a cat.)

It's a beautiful day here and this morning I ran some errands. But I didn't find ANY money! Dang it!

In the past week or so though, I've found $1.98 in change plus 2 Canadian 25-cent coins. Yay!

Found Money Around Town

Howdy! It's been a few weeks since I've posted but I've been finding money pretty regularly. Today in fact I found a quarter in a bowling alley parking lot. The other day I found some coins at the dollar store and the grocery store. There is lots of money lying around waiting to be found!

Besides the $2.48 I've found, I found a Canadian 25 cent piece and a 1977 Italian lira 50 cent coin. The lira went out of circulation in 1990 so this was a cool find!

I also saw some elk grazing this weekend. So cool!

Found a Jackpot at the Grocery Store with Lots of Foreign Coins

Today I ran some errands and at the grocery store there was a jackpot in the chain tray of the coin machine. No one was around so I scooped it up. I found $2+, including a 1940 Wheat penny. There were also quite a few foreign coins:

• a quarter from Canada
• a $1 coin from Hong Kong
• one $10, two $5, two $1, and one 50 cent Mexican coins

So with today haul and what I had found previously, I found $2.41 plus those foreign coins and a play penny. Yee haw!

Here's a cool gift idea for a coin collector.

Found More Easter Candy Deals, a Canadian Quarter, and 37 Cents

Today is a gorgeous day here, cool and breezy. I love it! What I would give for more days like this! 

Any way, I took a walk to take advantage of this lovely weather and found a bunch of coins--7 pennies, 3 dimes, and a 25 cent Canadian coin. 

Here's where: in the street, in a Starbucks parking lot, on the floor of the grocery store, and in the change tray at the grocery store. Yay!
