Pennies Nickels and Dimes Oh My
Money, money everywhere; it seems as though I find money everywhere. There is never enough money for me to splurge to buy a house, a car, or even a meal at a fancy restaurant and the worst thing is, the money’s nearly always mine. The windfall always occurs on laundry day when I am likely to find some money at the bottom of the washer or in the dryer. The denomination is usually a dime. I do have a sneaking suspicion that it is the same dime I shove into my pocket while I’m transferring the wet clothes from the washer to the dryer. I forget the dime is in my pocket and when I wash clothing the next time, it gets another ride in the laundry express.
I occasionally find a dime in the yard where I’ve pulled my car keys from my pants pocket where a dime manages to escape as well. This is a rare occurrence, noticed more easily when there is no snow. The coin’s spotted resting on the grass or gravel driveway.
Another place I often find coins is in my bedroom at the bottom of my bed. The money makes its escape as I shift the contents from my pockets from one pair of pants to another. Sommetimes the coin bounces out of sight beneath the bed or the dresse. Occasionally a dime or penny manages to hide in plain sight in the nap of the carpet.
In past posts, you’ve heard my rant about the designs of the new coinage. A five year old could have drawn the sketch for the etching to make the absolutely horrid designs. Coins for the United States from our past are nothing short of artistic treasures. Their silver and gold images are exceptional. They are beautiful almost to the point the owner enjoyed looking at them when they made transactions.
I slowly gather coins and my pockets fill. I don’t want to wear a hole in my pants pocket, so I count them, stack them, roll them, and take them to the bank when I’ve saved a few dollarsRecently I have heard that because of costs to mint them, the government may do away with penny coins. Like the penny candy of yesteryear, the copper penniies may go the way of the dodo.
I wonder what piece of money I will find next.
