i have a baggie full of coins from... everywhere. lots of euros.

it has rained all day and is still raining, although lightly. I haven't been able to get to my outdoor jobs & I don't have much indoor work at the moment, so I'm just stuck at the apartment, alternating between snoozing with cat and reading.

here are my coins from everywhere outside of the US:

Post-Your-Stories-&-Pix-Of-Found-Money

the pile on your left is euros and euro cents. the other pile is from everywhere (there are also a few old US nickels, cents and a Kennedy half)... germany, peru, canada, switzerland, britain, the caribbean, central america, mexico, sweden, norway, czech, poland (older coins from europe that preceded the euro), and more. I don't collect any of it, but it all found it's way to me.

Awesome!

You could try selling that foreign change you found in a bulk lot.

Turn those base metals into something more precious!

nice finds MrPink! And a nice pile of foreign coins too

and as Hondo stated, selling them as a bulk item, you can get some 'good' money from them.

Seeing how Hondo and myself routinely buys bulk coins it is a good idea to sell them.

it just keeps piling up. friday night I picked $1.64, all well-scattered change, and thankfully there were 6 quarters among that, otherwise just a nickel and 9 zincolns. the running total is about to increase by $11 as I add a full roll of quarters and two rolls of zincolns to the ever-growing pile of street finds.

three consecutive nights of $1+, $4.38 over three nights.

12 weeks to black friday.

yes. I always hope the streak will continue. it's a challenge this year because my running total is chasing the rising gold & silver prices.

just now realizing that I forgot to post last night's adventure.

i picked $1.01, all well-scattered change, and I also discovered that someone lost some beers... partial case of michelob ultra, 5 tall slender 12oz. cans. a little banged up, but not too badly, likely from being dropped. the five cans were in the cardboard case in the middle of a drive behind the old K-mart building. i'll pass those along to my neighbor friend in the mancave (garage).
