About once a year I gather up all the loose change in the house and car and bring it to the local TD bank. I plop it in the little machine and get enough paper money to buy lunch. I am never supprised to find some change near the machine. If a coin is bent or it goes into a little cup on the bottom. People don't care.But today I was even shocked. On top of the machine there was a giant pile of money in the same spot as in the picture above (that I stole from daylife.com). I plopped it on my scanner. There is about 13.50€ which in now worth about $19. The rest of the nunismania as an eclectic assortment including a coins from most Central American countries, some unknown Asian nations, Chuck E. Cheeses, Six Flags and subway tokens, pennies crushed at the Bronx Zoo, toy money, a button ,a screw, a little camera charm, tupence, a loony and a tuney and a token from an old Times Square peep show. There are also a variety of religious medals.
It looks nice on my scanner.... I separated the Euros so I can give them to next person I know who is going to Euroland.

You lucky bastard!! You found a $100? You taking me to dinner? LOL
ReplyDeleteI go to that same bank to put my coins in the machine, I have never found money laying around, wow
What a great post! I am still smiling.
ReplyDeleteNo string attached to the $100 bill so it moves when you reach down to pick it up?
ReplyDeleteone of the most fun posts i've read!!! and I thought that I was lucky finding a $20 bill in the NYCM...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the person finally found his/her pockets or purse too heavy. ;) Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a score! My son is a money finder like that. Payphones always have change although it's hard to find a payphone these days. Also, the U-Scans at the store. People are forever getting cash back and then leave it in the dispenser.
