Seems to be raining coins
i wish... I have no doubt that it would seem that way to anyone else, but I should have hit this milestone months ago. this week has been the weakest week of the month. I haven't had a $1+ night in 8 nights. the first 3 years of this project were 'raining coins'-- 2018, 19 & 20. when covid happened there was a noticeable pullback in the following months and into 2022, but sometime after covid it began 'raining coins' again, but it didn't last long. by spring 2024 it stopped 'raining' them; it's just 'sprinkling' them now. and the 'sprinkles' are getting lighter and lighter. I used to have $1+ nights (just coins) on 20 nights (or more) every month. now I get 5-10 nights of $1+ per month. and there used to be an 'abundance' of cash every year. so far this year I have picked just four $1 notes and two $5 notes, the two fives were found fairly recently, last month, about a week apart. I used to pick at least two or three ones every month, with other denominations scattered throughout the year. it used to be much more common. it is slowly drying up. once I complete this cycle and reach the $5K mark it may be time to wrap up this project, especially if I get the job that I interviewed for this past monday. I'm still waiting to hear about that. I was told i'd hear from them by today, but no word yet.
it's been great while it's lasted, but I have other things I need to pursue. it's provided me with a nice little stack of metals I wouldn't otherwise have and I am grateful, but other things are calling. i'd like to get to them and leave this years-long experiment as a success.
