While out and about today I found 24 cents. Here's what and where:

• a penny in a parking lot
• a dime in the same parking lot a little further down the line
• a dime in the street as I was walking on the sidewalk

Took a Walk and Found a Dime in the Street

This evening just before dark I headed out and took a little walk. It's getting dark so much sooner that it was dark by the time I got home. But as I was crossing a street, I spotted this dime in the street. As you can see, it's been driven over a lot. It's really scratched up. I can't read the date, but that's okay. It's still a fine dime for my found money jar!
