I spent almost 24 hours either in an airport or on an airplane. Apparently airports are a good place to find loose change. There was more to be had but sometimes I'm just not that bold.

This has been an unusual week for find coins. Though I haven't actually kept track before this seems unusually high.

Today was rainy and I found all these coins in parking lots.

It's not always a sidewalk that I find money. Sometimes it's a vending machine.

I'm the kind of person that will stop and pick up a penny from the sidewalk. To me, it's always worth it. I've often wondered how much I end up with each year. I don't segregate the money I find, and even though I don't usually have cash it quickly dissolves into the background. Starting in 2013, I'm going to embark to record each days gathering. That's not to say that I find something everyday but, when I do I'll post it.

I'm starting a little early to get a feel for how I'll do it. What works, what doesn't.

I'm starting humbly enough with a single red cent from December 4, 2012.
