"Another Penny"
I found, yup, another penny. This is from 2000. The curb is also a great place to spot loose change, especially near cars. I guess people fumble around getting out and change ends up on the street.
Street Change: I'm going to collect all the money I find on the streets, in the parks, basically anything that's just lying on the ground. At the end of the year, I'm going to match what I've found and donate it to charity. Year One was really successful. Year Two: For every $1 I find, I'll also buy a scratch-off lottery ticket and donate a portion of the winnings (if there are any).

I'm a librarian though my license to loan was revoked. M thought it best if I did some desk time. In my spare time, I enjoy a good book, dancing, running and a fine beer.
