  • We always pick up coins from the street as every little helps, my best find was $300 dollars which blew across a tesco car park whist packing my shopping in the boot, almost missed it as i was dark, result as the dollar was weak aginst the £ at the time.:j
  • I will point out that those Coinstar machines in the supermarkets do charge you

    hi there, i picked up a penny yesterday, more for the potential luck than the money!

    and today i found a pound! right outside my mum's house, in the quietest street in the world!

    must've been a lucky penny!


    edit: and no it wasn't my mum's pound, i did check! lol
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • I'll be lucky to find 10p this year. I live in what's classed as a wealthy area because a large percentage of the residents are rich, though by no means most of them. The result is people pay usually for things by credit/debit card instead of cash, so I'm lucky if I see a penny in a month. I will keep my eyes peeled for more from now on though. :D
