It cracks me up how much money I find running. Mostly I find dimes and pennies but I've found just about everything else, coins and bills.
My most lucrative run was $32 - a $20, $10 and 2 $1's - in the middle of the road folded. I've found plenty of $10's and $1's, not many $5's. I found $1.37 in coins in one run.
If it's winter and I'm wearing a jacket it isn't a problem just plopping it in and continueing on my way. During the summer it's a little trickier as I slip in into my running bra. I end up with coin sized marks, a little green if it's pennies, and my husband can tell me just about what I came home with. Very funny.
My most lucrative year was about 5 years ago when I found over $60. I decided that year, and a few other years throughout the years, to stack it on my dresser just to keep track. My kids know to leave it alone and get excited when the stacks start to grow.
I don't necessarily keep my eyes to the ground but glance down occassionally and just find money. Sometimes I'm not sure of what I saw so I have to lurch to a stop and run back a few feet to scope it out again. Sometimes it's a round-ish copper colored leaf or a washer or such but most of the time it's money.
I'd say I find money at least twice a week. Today it was 7 pennies in a cluster and a nickel a quarter mile later. I'm in the money baby....
That's a lot of moola.
