Hello Roadkill Rebels,

Welcome to the 2016 Roadkill Challenge. The purpose of this challenge is to find as much roadkill as you can every month.

What is roadkill? Money found outside of your home and/or car - it has to be money that genuinely wasn't yours or your family's before you found it! So if you find it down the side of the sofa, it doesn't count!

Exotic roadkill (foreign coins/notes) also count!

We also collect wombled receipts and discarded lottery scratch-cards to see if we can make some pennies that way too, and we keep track of these earnings separately."

Please feel free to sign up and don't forget to subscribe! Hope you find loads of roadkill this year!

Note - we used to create a new thread every month but for 2016 we have decided to keep same thread throughout the year.

Many thanks to Joylimited for running the 2015 challenge

If you haven’t already, join the forum to reply!

    I picked up a pheasant last week and took it home to cook for dinner. Does that count?

    Feral moon,

    If you find foreign coins we call it exotic road kill.

    A pheasant could come under feathered road kill.

    What a find. You're brave picking it up and taking it home. Did you hit it or see it being hit? I would worry about how long it had been there.
