Today I found 67 cents . . . . . .1 nickel, 1 dime, 2 quarters, and 2 pennies (the beloved Change Cycle).

This evening Bailey called me to talk him through part of a drive to Iowa. I figured that was kind of non-productive on my part so I decided to go on a little change run while talking to him. My first stop was Kroger, a local grocery store, where I found six cents (one nickel & one penny) under a change counting machine. I also purchased some bagels. Next stop was a no-name car wash where I found 51 cents (two quarters & one penny). The penny was on the ground and the two quarters were stacked in a car wash station.

My final stop was KFC were I picked up some dinner. I went through the drive-thru to check for change and kept my car a good distance from the window so I could see if there was any change on the ground. The guy at the window commented that I was kind of far away and I explained that I would come to him, getting out of my car to hand him the money. He was so impressed that he decided to give me a free small drink. As he poured my Mountain Dew I helped myself to a dime that was under the window.

Totals for the day: 67 cents
