Today I found 3 foreıgn coıns . . . sadly none count toward the daily totals, but the streak remains alive.

For the second day in a row I recorded three foreign coin finds. Today the coins were a Turkish five Lira coin (one that is not even in circulation these days), a five cent Turkish coin, and a 10 cent Turkish coin.

The first two coins were found on the Asia side of Istanbul. The first was in the street and was recovered as I walked to the bus stop. The second was behind a bench at the aforementioned bus stop. The final coin of the day was found by an ATM machine on the Europe sıde of Istanbul. The machine and coin were both located at a metro stop.

Tomorrow is my last partial day in Istanbul. From there it's off to Frankfurt for the evening, then to Barcelona, and a final stop in Shannon. Not sure what Internet will be like the rest of the trip, but ıf I don't post before then I'm back January 5th.

As for the picture of the day this shot was taken from at the Grand Bizaar in Istanbul. It is a picture of a stand that sold colorful Turkish lights:


Enjoy!

Totals for the day: 3 Foreıgn Coins
Race Totals: $635.94
