<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 4185043, member: 74571&quot;]I find money on the ground often.&nbsp; Coins and currency.&nbsp; There are four reasons for this (two of them particular to me, two of them more universal):</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; For several decades I put up with severe instability in both ankles due to high school basketball injuries.&nbsp; The slightest tilt in a sidewalk or small stone could send me down.&nbsp; Out of a need to protect myself from falling I walked looking down at the ground.&nbsp; I found literally pounds of coins.</p><p>2.&nbsp; After ankle reconstruction surgeries I still looked down out of habit.&nbsp; Then my daughter decided she would try to find more money than me.&nbsp; It turned into an annual contest.&nbsp; Her biggest haul: six $20 bills in a wad.&nbsp; Mine: a $50 bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; I think a lot of folks NEVER look down on the ground.&nbsp; Just the other day I picked up a &quot;parking lot zincoln&quot; that must have been there a long time, as it was almost unrecognizable on the obverse side which was face up.</p><p>4.&nbsp; Picking up change on the street is evidently &quot;beneath&quot; some folks (pun intended).&nbsp; Not for me.&nbsp; As [USER=84588]@myownprivy[/USER] said, it adds up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
