Unfortunately I never really find coins just laying around waiting for me.

Well it wasn't a keeper but it was definitely an unusual place. Inside a car radiator, not stuck in the cooling fins but inside where you pour the anti-freeze. There were actually a few coins in it, all pretty beat up from the heat and banging around in there.

I worked in a radiator repair shop almost 30 years and was use to seeing odd things in rads like small sticks, wrenches, screwdrivers even found keys a few times but that was a one and only time for coins.

I found a German coin once under the keys of an old piano.

I can't recall any stories about finding coins in weird places, but I do remember a time where I saw a dime on the floor at work once. When I went to pick it up I realized it was a pre-65 silver dime. I was stunned at the coincidence that somebody not only dropped the coin but it was silver as well.

Only thing that pops to mind is a Wheat cent I saw in the "need a penny" jar at a gas station. I think I traded a dime for it.
