Today I found 2 Czech Koruna and a 50 Haleru. Although the foreign currency is change for the purposes of this race it will sadly not count toward the daily totals. Change was found in the Czech Republic.

I found the 50 Haleru coin walking to the Charles Bridge and the 2 Koruna coin in a store in Old Town Square. Old Town Square is best known for this astrological clock, which depicts the religious circle of life:


In the upper right corner of the above picture (or in this one below) you can see the skeleton, which represents death:


Another nice part of Prague is the castle, which sits atop a hill and overlooks the city:


To get to the castle you either have to take a really long tram or make a very long walk. I elected to walk and can honestly say that it was a very tough climb.

Totals for the day: 2 Foreign Coins
Race Totals: $461.04
