Huh, I can't believe I walked right past that one... / myLot

My husband and I did a bit of grocery shopping this afternoon to get some ingredients for a new recipe I stumbled across and wanted to try out. After we got the groceries in the car, we decided to grab lunch from the Panda Express on the other side of the shopping center. I was a bit distracted by a couple of hiring signs in other businesses' windows on the way over--I have an app called Job Spotter that pays users in Amazon gift cards for submitting photos of places that are now hiring--and the line in the title is what I said when I came across a penny I had walked right past on the way into the store. Then I looked up a bit... and there were a lot more coins scattered at the base of the column we were near. I ended up picking up a total of $1.34 off the sidewalk there.

And I thought I was doing well by finding three pennies scattered around the grocery store the other night!

It's a long time that I do not find coins on the floor, here in Switzerland it seems that people pay attention not to lose money.

That's too bad. I seem to find at least one or two a day on average.

@LadyDuck I got a couple of quarters at a mall we were visiting for something similar. It's too bad none of the stores around here use that system.

@yukimori Last week someone forgot to get back the 2 Swiss Francs bringing back the shop cart to the carts stations (2 Swiss Francs is more or less 2$), I got it.

I haven't found any coins since pay phones started disappearing. I remember how my daughter always checked when we passed one. I think her birth mother had taught the kids to look for money.
