Fat boy here needs to lose weight. So I've been walking a mile a day while on break from my RN job. So far, every day in the past week, I have found from five to eight pennies strewn along the road I walk. I don't vary my path, so either someone is cleaning their ashtrays, kids drop em and leave em, or whatever. Their loss, my gain, or loss... or... whatever

Hoard now and hold on!

| Lucky you. Every time I walk the dog, morning and night, I only find a cigarette butt or a gum wrapper. Some guys have all the luck! |

If you're an RN...aren't you on your feet all day? I don't know how you can maintain excess body fat around a job like that.

*Going for a walk* Of course I don't expect to get near the mileage in pennies that beauanderos does.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

He recycles as many pie tins as I do beer cans

I don't have any better of an excuse beau, I'm a desk jockey at work and retire to a chair at home for the coin project. These two powers combined do not keep me in shape either.
Walking what is this crazy fad? Give me a scooter that has a trailer hitch for my penny cart. |

If my walks produced pockets of change I would probably be walking a lot more after work.
I do find a lot of change in the parking lot at work but no major finds other than some copper pieces. |

Good for you beauanderos. Walking is one of the easiest and pleasant ways to get back in shape. Keep it up.
I try to walk whenever possible and when I do, I usually find all sorts of goodies; pennies are the most found item along with other small US coinage, earrings, pens, watches - you get the idea. Over the years I have found over $200 in cash alone.
I agree with the other poster, dakota1955, look up, I once got a knot on my head because I didn't watch where I was going. I haven't done that again...

| Finding coins in the parking lot at work? Heaven help my colleagues! They are just as poor as me. In the parking lot I will usually find a paper clip or a business pen run over partially. |
