And now, January 30, I have 41 coins total collected. And not only pennies either, several dimes, nickels, and ever a quarter. I find it actually therapeutic. A tiny game to play each day to see how much you can find as you're out. Thanks for starting this page.

I'm going to see how much i accumulate in a year. Another thing,it turns a simple walk into a bit of an adventure.

Another good location is in the airport under the TSA scanner conveyor. People drop money when they empty their pockets and don't bother to pick it up. Also in parking lots after the traveling carnivals clear out their equipment. Very good list! Another good location is in the airport under the TSA scanner conveyor.

I just got done gutting out a lawndrymat that had gone out of business.. this is the best place in the world that i know of to find coins and a whole lot more.. First the clean: DRIERS are a perfect place to find quarters, Expecialy when the require quarters to operate.. I found over 150.00 in quarters in just 8 machines.. Now the dirty: Washing machines. I found over 200.00 dollars in coins that got stuck in the "P" traps and sewer pipes that I removed.. over the past 25-30 years the coins have been building up and building up in this 10 foot section of pipe and "P" trap. The money becomes really dirty dut to the detergent used, But is cleanable to the point that a coin counter will take them. It was like busting a pinyata when I cracked that 4 inch PVC drain pipe... you won’t ever think of this on your own.
