• In your summer purses. Like most women I rotate my warm weather and cold weather items. It’s not unusual for me to find change and random bills in last season’s purses.
• In a suitcase. Most people don’t keep purses and wallets in their suitcases while traveling but they do leave stuff in their suitcase while hanging out in foreign locales.
• In an old wallet you’ve forgotten about that is hanging out in the back of your closet.
• In a bike parking lot.
• At the train station, specifically where the self-service kiosk is located.
• On the floor of the children’s museum.
• In the aftermath of a mud run.
• In the aftermath of a marathon (you might find keys too).
• At the ski resort equipment rental room.
• In a forgotten digital savings account.
• Near a Coinstar change machine.
• On the floor of your local pool hall.
• Outside your local bar (but usually you’ll find bills).
• In your old party supplies box.
• In your old storage unit.
• In your “everything” drawer at your house.
• On the floor of your favorite coffee shop.
• At your local food hall.
• Your forgotten yard sale change collection. You decided not to have the garage sale after all.
• In your washer.
• In your dryer.
• In the pockets of suits that are sent to the dry cleaners. Check these before you send them out.
• In your baby’s diaper bag.
• Coins are often found in your back or front jeans pocket.
• On the gym floor at your local Girls and Boys club.
• Under your bed. There are nights when you pull off your jeans, the change falls out of your pockets and you’re too tired to pick it up!
• In the cushions of your local bus. Proceed with caution if you stick your hands between the cushions.
• In between airplane seats.
• In a forgotten swear jar.
• At the amusement park near the Tilt-a-Whirl.
• At the amusement park near the roller coaster.
• In between the seats of an Uber car. You should proceed with caution before sticking your hand between the seats.
• In a skirt hem that you weighed down for your old biking obsession.
• Coins may be found in an old makeup bag.
• On the grass after a bbq.
• In between the seats of a taxi.
• At the tattoo shop. If someone is in pain and they are shaking, there is a found change opportunity.
• Near, in, or around any green (read-pot) business. For obvious reasons.
• At the next beer festival that you attend, look around for change. More often than not you’ll probably find bills.
• During Oktoberfest. People’s pockets move a lot during the chicken dance.
• At the DMV.
• Next to any ice cream stand with an outdoor facing window.
• On the floor of your next fraternity party. Caution, that change might be gross.
• On the floor of your next sorority party. Again, caution that change might be grungy.
• In the next golf cart that you rent.
• At Dave and Busters, anywhere and everywhere.
• Random thrift store boxes.
• At the bottom of every foam pit.
• In your tool kit.
Following my own advice I found a quarter at the bus stop today. In fact, hardly a week goes by without finding some change. Whenever I find change it reinforces my belief that there is an infinite amount of money to tap into. What do you think? Found any loose change lately?
