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.

For those interested in a summation of the money that we found thus far, I’ve added a “Change Found Total” feature to the blog. Each time that I report what we found, I will add the new total to this feature. While the total is not very large, keep in mind that it’s free money and we’ve only been counting for less than two months.
