Final Coin Tally

Here it is; the final coin tally. In the four months that I've been blogging about our coin finds, my wife and I have racked up a total of $49.80 in change found on the ground. Not bad for four months. I broke down what we found by denomination type. Here it is:

145 pennies
6 nickels
27 dimes
8 quarters
1 dollar
2 $20 bills
+ $ 2.35 in unspecified coins

Over Twenty Dollars Found in One Day

This was a huge payday. Walking around Philly, money seemed to be everywhere. My wife stumbled across a rather large pile of pennies at a bus stop in the old city. We found 35 pennies at once at the bus stop. (see picture) Throughout the day we found some more change. However, after dinner, we found the biggest find yet; a $20 bill! Amazing! The penny blog counter just grew by leaps and bounds!
