Finding Money... 36 cents just today!

Today I worked a booth at the business expo then I ran some errands. I did look on the ground and floor at the expo but didn't find anything. 

But later at the dollar store I found three dimes! Then later I found a nickel in a drive through lane. The penny? Don't remember but I think in the parking lot. 

In all since I last posted, I've found $1.54! Yay!

Here's what I found:

24 pennies

3 nickels

9 dimes

1 quarter,

a Peter Piper Pizza token

a 2012 1 piso coin from Republika ng Philipinas

I looked up the foreign coin and it's worth $0.019 (less than 2 cents). Here's the info from the Numista website.

But I still like to find foreign money!

Have you found any coins or paper bills lately? I'm itching to find more paper money!

Found a Five Dollar Bill at the Grocery Store

Today I ran to the grocery store for a few things (mainly bacon) because a couple of cute kiddos are coming over to spend the night and if that's not a good excuse to fix bacon for breakfast, I'd like to know what is!

I was strolling down an aisle and spotted this $5 on the floor! It was over to the side, but no one was around so I scooped it up. And I thought finding one dollar bills was exciting! 

Then after I paid for my groceries and was walking out of the store, I spotted these two Peter Piper Pizza tickets on the floor at the entrance. Scarlett likes the tickets.
