Weird. My friend reported that she picked up a yuan in Iowa.
The same thing happened to me. I was at Newark airport and had just collected my luggage. I noticed this shiny object on the ground. So I had all this luggage and did a "coin test". I kicked it and it was loose and skidded off a few feet. As I bent down to pick it up, I saw it was foreign. Upon further inspection, it was a yuan.
I guess good things come in yuan. 1 Chinese Yuan equals about 13.68 cents as of the rate on 12-28. Nice find.
I did find some native currency soon after I came into NYC proper. At the Herald Square subway entrance on 34th street I had stopped to readjust my luggage. There were two pennies lying near the steps, also next to a cigarette butt. Lovely.

I found one penny on the way to JFK and one more penny at JFK. On my way home I found a Fijian 2-cent coin on the curb outside of LAX! Too lazy to look up what the exchange rate is.
2 Fiji cents equals around $.0129 US.
