3's a crowd

Yesterday I found a penny from 1983 during my lunch hour. Today I found one penny near 52nd and 2nd before my Norwegian course. Then another penny at the 51st station.

I guess Wall Street had a rough day today. Good day to save your pennies.

Johnny Cash

Last night I went with some friends and saw some country music in tribute to Johnny Cash's 75th birthday. The concert was amazing! In the freezing cellar of Southpaw I picked up two pennies: 1984 (Cash was in a movie called "The Baron and the Kid") and 2003 (Sadly this is the year Johnny Cash died). Today I was out shopping for groceries and in the parking lot of the Key Food by me there were two pennies: 2000 and 2005.

Vier und Leben der Anderen

Last night I saw an interesting and well crafted movie called "The Lives of Others" which dealt with the surveillance of former East German citizens. Pretty relevant considering the recent climate of wire tapping on American citizens. The trailer below is in German.


After the movie I picked up two pennies near Angelika -- my first one from 2007. It gleamed so brightly, I had to shield my eyes. ;) This morning I got two pennies as I was picking up the NY Times.

One

I found a penny at the Whitehall station under the steps leading to the platform. It was from 1994.

Canadians think the penny's useless.

Which country will first abolish the penny?

Short and sweet

On my way home from Norwegian class last night, I spotted two pennies near 3rd Avenue and 52nd street. Then as I walked through the turnstile at the 51st station, there was a penny on the steps. The dates: 2 from 2004 and 1975.

Nickels "Under" Broadway (-Lafayette)

I was in Manhattan briefly this evening. At the Broadway-Lafayette stop just as I was passing through the turnstile to exit the station, I noticed 2 nickels and 2 pennies. Good things come in pairs, I guess. The nickels were from 1983 (not the best Chinese New Year) and 2002 (a useful reference site for work).

I found an additional penny near Washington Square Park on W. 4th and then two more pennies in the W. 4th station. There's that money zone again.

Point Break LIVE

Last night I saw a pretty absurd and very entertaining play: Point Break LIVE. Basically follows the script of the movie. The kicker: The role of Johnny Utah is played by someone randomly picked by the audience. That person then reads all the lines off of cue cards.

I picked up three pennies in the area near the theatre: 1981, 1988 and 1992.
