Re: Where Have You Found Coins/Currency?
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2019 12:41 pmI found a CU penny at the carwash last week right below where we put our money into the place where we put our money in. I expect once the snow melts away I'll be finding more as I go out walking parking lots and looking where big snow melts happened.

Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2019 12:06 pmThe snow has melted and in some of the bigger parking lots there are spots covered with dirt and debris where they had pushed up the snow. Does anyone ever look in these areas?

Each spring I find a few coins in the parking lot corners where the snow was piled. A few years ago I found a torn $5 in a melting snow pile.
