    Started my daily roadkill walks last Friday, and so far have 36p in the pot (boosted by the 20p found outside the post office today!).

    Thats ace Gem Gem to put it in context I only recieved £11 for the year on my £1,000 emergency fund. To find that much for free is pretty awesome in my opinion.

    Just goes to show - who would have thought one could find more cash than one could earn in interest!

    Anyway found 2 x 1p coins today but only 1 was "pickup able"

    Yes. It is amazing how all those pennies add up. All from coins no notes.

    Yes, shows how bad the interest rates are!

    I found a penny under a coinstar machine today. A couple sitting nearby did give me a funny look, when I picked it up. I don't think I'm going to be able to get much with the amount I have found this year. I'm going to be lucky to find a pound in total I think.
