Today I found $1.96 cents . . . 6 nickels, 4 dimes, 4 quarters, and 26 pennies (the 300 Club Cycle). With my finds I topped $300 in found change.

Like Babe Ruth I pointed and called my shot yesterday. I delivered on the promise of topping $300 in a big way. The first find of the day, three pennies, came at a no name car wash. I also found a dime at another no name car wash that was nearby. I joined Bailey for lunch today and found a penny by the cash register. To be fair this was at best a jump penny, as we both spotted it at almost the exact same time. However, today I was just a bit faster on the draw (I wanted it more) so the penny was mine.

On the way home from lunch I stopped at Kroger, a local grocery store, and found 22 cents (one nickel & 17 pennies) in the coin return slot of a change counting machine. The big score of the day was at Ale Gator’s Car Wash where I found $1.54 (four nickels, three dimes, four quarters, and four pennies). The quarters were stacked neatly in a car wash station and the rest of the change was scattered about. At the post office this evening I found an nickel in the coin return slot of a stamp machine and a penny on the floor by the same machine.

Totals for the day: $1.96
Race Totals: $301.48
