rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 05/08/2013 12:20 am I'm surprised no one's mentioned the movie theater! I managed a theater for a few years and one of my favorite Friday nite routines was to turn on all the work lights after the last film and last employee left and grab a flash light and just go row by row, theater by theater. On average I would find anywhere from $5 to $20 a night. Phones, iPods, wallets, car keys, gloves, etc... ALWAYS got placed in lost and found but loose change and bills were up for grabs. Still, as an average movie goer, check your row and seats! Don't just listen to the movie either, listen for all the change that falls out DURING the movie! :) Report this Post to the Staff
joecoin85 Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 05/08/2013 11:20 am rking007, cool that found that much money! I'd have a hard time convincing my wife though that I would search for coins before, during, or after a movie. Cool finds. Did you find any collectible coins and any silver coins?

silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 05/08/2013 12:44 pm found this cache of coins today in the UW library, out of hundreds of desks I randomly chose this desk and didn't notice the surprise until a half hour later lol. total is $0.44, I'll take it Report this Post to the Staff
rusty_f Valued Member Canada 109 Posts	Posted 05/08/2013 1:29 pm Check on top of the coin-op boxes at the car wash. People put their change on top of the box for quick access while washing, then after they're done, drive off and forget it there! Also, walk facing west through a normally busy parking lot in the evening near sunset (or walk facing east near sunrise in the morning). Any coins on the ground will gleam with the reflection of the sky, even dull pennies. Edited by rusty_f 05/08/2013 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
baysinger626 Pillar of the Community United States 950 Posts	Posted 05/08/2013 2:51 pm So, it uploaded my picture, but removed all the text. Hmm... What I said was... I saw a girl walking into the bank the other day.. She dropped a nickel and 2 pennies. She looked at them, and walked away. What? you want ME to have your seven cents? Dont mind if I do! This is my coin purse. My great Grandpa had one when I was a kid and I thought it was MAGICAL how he could open and close it so quickly without having his fingers taken off. Apparently I had never touched it and thought it was sharp. Oh, to be so innocent again. Edited by baysinger626 05/08/2013 2:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
