updates

Finally broke the dry spell after such a long while, acutally she broke it, anyway she found a $0.20 coin while at the carpark on saturday when we were getting our groceries. Nice to have something brighten up your day after such a long spell of nothing. It almost seems as if everyone just got really careful with their coins or that more people are picking up coins than ever.. I personally blame the economy.. and the weather.. and the government.. I'd blame everyone if I could... bah!!!

Started with $205.90

Ended with $206.10
$0.20 from her

anyway wish us luck

Unexpected and a little guilty..

was at takashimaya with her yesterday for dinner, saw a trolley that was in the trolley bay outside cold storage with the coin slot still unopened so i was trying to put the key back to retrieve the dollar coin but with no luck, then out of a sudden the manager at cold storage turned around and called for the trolley guy to help me get the coin out, after trying for awhile without success he just told the trolley guy to give me a dollar. That kinda made me feel a little guilty so i just froze there after accepting the coin.... still feeling a little guilty right now... and just as i was saying to her that i was in a drought... this happens... o well...

Overseas Loot

Really proud of my girl, she went for a holiday for 2 weeks in the U.K and came back a few days ago, she kept this project in mind and was diligently looking out for coins while she was there too and managed to come back with quite a nice bag of loot.

Will post the breakdown on how she found it once she tells me in detail but the total is really impressive.
1 Two Cent Euro coin, 11 Pennys,1 Two Pence,2 Five Pence,2 Twenty Pence and a Pound!

I guess this means i'll have to seperate the different currencies instead of lumping them together.

Started with $205.10
Minus foreign currency - 5 Thai Baht $0.20
Ended with $204.90

Wish us Luck
