Not much to report from the weekend. We found some change, but not much.

01/24: 1 penny, Aldi Foods; 2 dimes and 1 penny, Robinson Mall

A temporary thaw is taking place as I write. In the hopes of finding some change emerging from the layers of melting snow, I walked around Hillman and CLP during my lunch break. I found two pennies and one nickel, each still partially buried in dirty, wet snow. All three coins were found in front of three separate parking ticket dispensers.

Change found since last post:

01/22: 2 pennies, Whole Foods parking lot; 1 dime, inside Whole Foods

01/23: 1 penny, near parking ticket dispenser in front of CLP; 1 penny, near parking ticket dispenser in front of Frick Fine Arts Building, 1 nickel in front of parking ticket dispenser at Schenley Plaza

The piggy bank didn’t get much fatter over the weekend. I’m starting to think that because of the Market Place story, more people are picking up change. Well, I’m sure that’s not why, but it sounds like a good explanation as to why we only found 4 pennies this weekend.

Change found over the weekend:
01/17: 3 pennies, Trader Joe’s
1 penny, Giant Eagle

We started to save our found change on January 5^th. However, with all the recent snow, finding change on the sidewalk has been difficult. I suspect that once the snow melts, many pennies, nickels and dimes will come out of their winter hibernation and into our piggy bank.

Tally thus far:
01/05: 1 penny found in front of Hillman Library
01/07: 1 penny, 5^th and Craig (also, a 42 cent stamp found on Kentucky Ave.)
01/08: 2 dimes, Whole Foods
1 penny, Bellefield and 5^th
01/11: 1 penny and 1 dime, Target
3 pennies, Trader Joe's
01/13: 1 penny, Hillman Library
