Here I'll post where, when, and how much. When I hit $100,000 I'll stop blogging about it.
TOTAL found money since June 20, 2008 is $62.29.Mamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909349464805053066noreply@blogger.comBlogger280125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676776018601212147.post-31427794719116624082010-09-04T17:32:00.005-04:002010-09-04T18:44:47.846-04:00Jackpot!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7IASbid51nZmnnPqw-fNowl-Bjw5njw8HZ19WM3N2qWNRN2jStWM1r5lHfQrd5nPNBIoAt1VL8tgDyr0flXoH0SKQ2xQ3AOJKT3b0LibqpMlxofxzVgh87UxF8Kv6oCip1gLJZjlNjYQ/s1600/Logitech+and+money+bag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7IASbid51nZmnnPqw-fNowl-Bjw5njw8HZ19WM3N2qWNRN2jStWM1r5lHfQrd5nPNBIoAt1VL8tgDyr0flXoH0SKQ2xQ3AOJKT3b0LibqpMlxofxzVgh87UxF8Kv6oCip1gLJZjlNjYQ/s400/Logitech+and+money+bag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513174721343569314" /></a><br />Canvas bag containing $53.48 in abandoned coins.

So I moved to a neighborhood where my chances of finding fifty dollar bills might be better. I'm in the Financial District now and I still pick up change every day and the training has paid off. It paid $17 in fact. I found $17 on John Street! It was next to a car, someone had clearly lost it from a pocket while getting out of the car. A ten and seven ones. <br /><br />Also, about two months ago, I dove on a fiver that was loose on the platform of the uptown 4,5,6 trains at 14th street during morning rush. So, I'm up $22 and ready to start posting again.<br /><br />I figure I've collected about $5 of small change in the months that I didn't post. So, I'm adding $32 to my collected total.<br /><br />(photo by Yorgo)Mamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909349464805053066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676776018601212147.post-6814156247742053182010-01-01T17:31:00.002-05:002010-01-01T17:34:29.369-05:00New Money for a New Year<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgIaQCF5i_X72SEiFw599MkIoza4owd6qBdHkTdhxuEX2-BGrHS5FVaqAqurxqOsNqQXhbC4J7dsfRUxHiEmlbYn37UZaTt5xWSw03nKoCpDxM7dXZ7XDTm7QrycNrIRs7Eg8o3AIqiUQ/s1600-h/DSCF0063.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgIaQCF5i_X72SEiFw599MkIoza4owd6qBdHkTdhxuEX2-BGrHS5FVaqAqurxqOsNqQXhbC4J7dsfRUxHiEmlbYn37UZaTt5xWSw03nKoCpDxM7dXZ7XDTm7QrycNrIRs7Eg8o3AIqiUQ/s400/DSCF0063.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421902974663306546" /></a><br />It rained pennies last night in Manhattan.

I'm inspired to post again.<br /><br />We had a recent snowstorm that yielded us some pennies as the snow melted.<br /><br />Today was two dimes (people don't like it pick up wet money but I think it's cleaner, right?) and six pennies from 118 Street to the 116 subway station and then back. Yesterday was the most gruesome and dirtiest find in the subway - one penny that my daughter and I had to reach through the gate to get out of a pile of grime. It was nasty and those gloves are in the laundry. <br /><br />I am going to estimate we've found about $1.32 since our last post (there were three quarters in there). I think that's a conservative estimate.Mamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909349464805053066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676776018601212147.post-46267054832519135632009-08-26T18:14:00.003-04:002009-08-26T18:37:07.727-04:00Blighty Spares No Change<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJLFKcH1btyjGGlnOmw4bM3qwXXV8KjFLHbdgf7rCJT-PK58isKFQiyuwtji4gZdIZXSkSmDIiSEhOG_udyagPSR-ld8ET0aZl0PdbQTpRyaQ72qvSSf4alZHLjNpQpwvxGI8QwlxDqeI/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJLFKcH1btyjGGlnOmw4bM3qwXXV8KjFLHbdgf7rCJT-PK58isKFQiyuwtji4gZdIZXSkSmDIiSEhOG_udyagPSR-ld8ET0aZl0PdbQTpRyaQ72qvSSf4alZHLjNpQpwvxGI8QwlxDqeI/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374399494289416706" /></a><br />Mind the poverty gap, folks, a week in London yielded ZERO in the Department of Found Money.

I recovered though, five cents richer. <br /><br />Then I found a penny on 13th Street after watching Star Trek at the Union Square theater where a MOUSE RAN OVER MY LEG while I watched the movie. The theater was THAT empty. Okay, I think it was a mouse. It may have been a SMALL RAT. You've been warned. How was the movie? Who can remember!? <br /><br />Total haul for the day = .06 and an intimate run-in with a rodent<br /><br />TOTAL to date = $24.51Mamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909349464805053066noreply@blogger.com1
