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?

Rochester $

There was a quarter in the credit card slot of the parking machine thingy in Rochester!  After the last found money post, I started to doubt that I would break a dollar in finds for 2025.  But now I have six months to find five cents and that seems entirely do-able.

Officially – I am up to ninety-five cents in found money for 2025!  How much have you found???

Seventy Cents

When I found this penny, I had that weird feeling that I was in a parallel universe.  It looks like a 1943 steel penny in color but, of course it has the shield on the back indicating that it is a newbie.    And the truth is that there’s little to no copper in these – they don’t last long in the wild.  They disintegrate!

I am now up to seventy cents in found money for 2025.

I read that article from the web about the U.S. plan to stop manufacturing pennies.  Is that a hop, skip and jump to us not using money anymore at all?  Will pennies still fall from heaven???

 

 

44 Plus 25 Equals 69!

I’m taking credit for this find even though my friend was the one who spotted it.  Thanks, Suzy!

Now up to sixty-nine cents in found money for 2025.
