Street Money Update!
Four more pennies have found their way into my bee box.
Hmmm…that sounds….weird.
In our travels yesterday we collectively found 4 cents all around the town. The box I hold the money in has pictures of bees on it.
What were you thinking?
Take a look at the bee bank box and check here for the latest update for 2009!
Street Money Update!
All that walking around yesterday and we came up with 11¢!
Not complaining…but you can really tell the economy based on how much change people will drop, and then actually pick back up.
Cheap times!
Street Money Update!
Getting spoiled…
Every day of class or school time, so far, has provided me: 1. a kicking education!, and 2. loose change! Some days more, than others. Today is an “other”, but I’ll take it. I still have places to go later with the kids so there’s hope their young eyes will spot more!
For now: One cent.
Street Money Update!
It’s all me.
One cent.
Found it while I was spending $15. It will, eventually, all break even….
Look here for the Total, 2009.
Street Money Update!
Mason has the money eye! Ten Cents!
Found a small, beat-up dime on the street while riding his bike!
Pretty good, but let’s keep those eyes facing up and out!
Street Money Update!
Find a penny. Find a dime. That’s how my daughter does it.
11¢
Not bad for Tuesday.

Street Money Update! Euro Version!
We have a new exciting feature to add to our Street Money Update! Euro Vision!
The kids and I are just buying crap at the CVS today and there they were: Penny, penny, penny, penny, penny, and penny!
Upon closer exam, one of these so-called “pennies” was actually a 2¢ Euro! Surprise, surprise. Really. We don’t have the kind of CVS that lends itself to Euro’s just getting dropped all over the ground. Canadian money maybe but not the fancy European kind…we ain’t that cosmopolitan.
Anyhoo, it’s June 1 and I can’t really count it in the regular tally, so I just added the Euro category. Right next to the American.
I’m actually really surprised we haven’t found one Canadian coin all year…we usually do by now.
Come on Canada! Step it up! Get down here and drop some coins in my neighborhood! We’re counting on you!
Let’s see how International we can get by the end of the year! A challenge!
Come on World! Get over to Illinois! We need your loose change!
Street Money Update! American Style
Four cents! Four not-shiny pennies.
I think we found three of them shopping, in various store parking lots. Let’s say, Kohl’s, PetLand and Caribou Coffee.
Then we found one at Fuddrucker’s. (Oh the horrible memories…Nachos…cheese…deliciousness…home…heartburn…cramping….non-digesting…near vomiting…never again…) There’s one more thing added to my list of things to NEVER eat again.
Anyway, back to the point. Four cents! Add it up. Brings us to….
Street Money Update!
It’s a big ten kind of day…
Ten cents, that is.
One shiny ass dime, glittering in the bright sun, laying on the ground, early this morning.
How does money end up in the street? I don’t know, but my kids say these are the best kinds of days to find it. They just keep their eyes on the road and look for the sparkle. It’s like payday!
Check here for the yearly total.
It’s an exciting day—we broke another “dollar” barrier–we are over Eleven Bucks!! I can almost feel the sunshine from my summer home in the Hamptons. Ha.
Street Money Update!
One penny.
In a parking lot.
These updates are so easy to do when the money is small.
