Post Your Stories & Pix Of Found Money

i found $1.47 in well-scattered change tonight, including this, picked from an air-vac:




1953-S wheatie, always nice to find an old LWC, the S mintmark is the little dancing strawberry on top...

yes, I like finding things like that. that coin kicks-off March Finds.

here are the most interesting things I found in January & February:

Cool to see old wheats and Indians still in circulation!

I had my biggest haul of the semester to date yesterday: $3.77! I was at just 7 cents so far on the day around 3:15 PM when I was walking past a row of vending machines right as someone else had bought a soda and was taking her change. She took the quarters, but the machine had run out of quarters so the rest was nickels and dimes, which she just left behind. I asked her "you sure you don't want these?", she said she didn't, so I scored $1.45 out of that. The other jackpot was $1.75 in quarters left behind at a different vending machine - you'd think you'd notice if you were missing such a large chunk of cash, but hey, that's how I get to profit off other people's negligence. :D

Grand total for the day: 7 pennies, 16 nickels (a record), 9 dimes, and 8 quarters.

Today, I'm only up 10 cents: a dime in a vending machine. It's also not even 8 AM though, so I've still got the whole day ahead of me.

lol, you sound just like me...

i found $56.90 during march

last night as I was pedaling home I discovered a stretch of the boulevard littered with quarters, so I stopped to clean them up




27 quarters, $6.75...

the most interesting finds of march were a 5 cent italian euro, a washington dollar coin and a battered old LWC

indeed, jbuck. in fact, april is starting off with a bang.. $1.16 saturday, $8.36 sunday, $2.45 last night.. wow, it sometimes piles up quickly..

tonight I scored $3.68 in well-scattered change-- 1 quarter, 19 dimes, 5 nickels and 28 zincolns, plus a 1979 SBA $1 that some kind soul left at an air-vac for me, the first interesting coin I've found this month.

Fantastic!

Nice finds!

friends, this is what I scratched up tonight... $1.87



i picked about a dollar of it from inside of an air-vac dirt canister (and it all got a bath upon returning home.. each night I empty my pocket & I wash all the coins I bring home), to include the lone quarter.. I suggest examining that quarter:




the american samoa 2020-W! cool find!

that's the second W quarter I've picked from inside an air-vac dirt canister, my 6th or 7th W quarter in total (i forget exactly how many, i'd have to go look thru the W quarter thread), and the first V75 quarter I've found/salvaged... lo, the well-circulated bats, LOL!

edit 37 minutes later: after consulting the W quarter thread I see this is my 7th W quarter score.
