    It's not about the money, it's about financial freedom, being in control of it and living in the natural world and not a material world

    Hi all

    I would like to join please. I regularly find loose change outside as I'm out and about most days as part of my job.

    I think its nice that we good people on MSE find lost and lonely coinage in all sorts of places and provide it with a nice safe home :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello MrsGSR! :wave: Just gotta keep looking - it is really surprising what is on the floor if you look hard. Definitely look whenever you use self checkout (which we use ALL the time now) - 9/10 times we find money there.

    Hi pinknfluffy28 and welcome onboard! Roadkill has become something of a way of life for me and I am always disappointed if I go a day without finding any!

    Every penny counts splodge - well done!

    I've never been too keen on the self-service checkouts, but if the "unexpected item in the bagging area" is a coin (or even better a note!!) they will go up in my estimation hugely!!!:rotfl::rotfl:
