A Week of "Ones"

This definitely was the week of ones or pennies as they're more commonly known in the Street Change world. But before we get to the amount, two friends of mine sent me the exact same story:

Wow! 55,000 pennies. That's unreal! I'm no where near that in my collection.

How'd I do this week? Well, this week I found 18 pennies. One morning I found three pennies as I walked down to the subway platform. It's as if someone had left a trail either for me to find or to help the person get out of the subway. Most of the time I just found the single penny on the street. But last night there were four pennies right near the turnstile at the 1st avenue entrance to the F train.

But the week was not all pennies. I found one dime right near my apartment building Friday night after I had enjoyed some improv comedy at the UCB Theatre.
