At lunch today...in MP--I found a penny in the parking lot---thanks.
Well, today it's been 18 mo since 10.30.05 and I've decided to count the coins...separating them only by coin type and # in a 12 and 6 month period.
Background: Someone sent me the original email about pennies maybe 13 months ago, so really I've only been 'aware' of them for that long, but I will count for year 1 and then the 1st 6 mo of year 2. I recall taking a rough count of year one back in November...about 52 cents--averaging at least one penny a week (but really more since I started to be aware 5 months after 10.30)
