On the rocks… / myLot

As I was walking home a few days ago I saw something shiny lying on the rocks. I stopped and bent down to see what it was. Turned out to be a nickel (5¢). I picked it up and put it in my pocket. I like finding coins unexpectedly and in places I wouldn’t expect.

My daughter is always finding money while she is out and about. Usually paper money though.

Lucky her. I found paper money only once. And I didn’t pick it up. When I went back to get it a minute later it was no longer there.

I don’t usually bother picking up change, but then again, I don’t think I take enough notice because I don’t remember the last time I saw coins other than in my purse.

I don’t pick them up 100% of the time. Especially if they are pennies.
