2026 Money (Episode 1)

I was starting to think this would never happen again.  So many places are doing away with money in favor of credit, debit and that weird thing where you just tap your phone at stuff.

Last year’s total:  $3.30.

I am officially on the board with this quarter I found near the JMA Wireless (is that its official name these days?) Dome last night.

Twenty-five cents!

 

Coinstar 5

Canadian change finds its way into U.S. cash registers but it doesn’t get past the Coinstar machine!

I am now up to $3.30 in found money for 2025 with this nickel find.

One Thin Dime

Found this 1965 dime in a parking lot yesterday.  Now up to $3.25 in found money for 2025.

Paper Currency

This happened today!  Yes!  I found a dollar bill on the ground.  This morning we had our first frost of the season so – this is pretty f-ing miraculous.

Now up to $3.15 in found money for 2025.  That’s on the low side compared to previous years, but I’ll take it!

Magical Money

Just as I was thinking my money finding well was running dry, I found these two beauties.

Now up to $2.15 in found money for 2025.

Finding money is magical. <3

Productive Penny

Today was a productive day:  banking, car shopping, a gorgeous hike once the sun came out AND I found a penny!

Up to $2.09 in found money for 2025.

Skaneateles Six

I found six cents in Skaneateles, New York!  A penny and a nickel in two different locations on the ground/sidewalk.

I’m now up to $2.08 in found money for 2025.

Found Money In & Out

A penny in the park and a penny in the grocery store.  I am now up to $2.02 in found money for 2025!

Doubled

In the past month, I have doubled my found money income!  I am now up to $2.00 in found money for 2025.  My favorite is the sixty-five cent spill.

A Dollar Earned

I found a nickel on the floor of the restaurant last night right before I met some high school friends for dinner.

I am now up to $1.00 in found money for 2025.  I found almost $9.00 last year (total haul).  How much can I find in six months?
