Back in February I posted about my "Picking Up
Pennies" initiative; Click here to refresh your memory
Long story short, since September of 2010, I have been collecting any and
all loose change I find on the ground, and adding it to my Pink Pig Piggy Bank
Since it's been almost 7 months since the last money
count, I felt it would be a good time for another one today
Dumping out all my loose change
A little pot of gold perhaps :)
I separated the money into piles: Toonies,
Loonies, Quarters, Dimes, Nickels and Pennies
Pennies with Maple Leafs
Nickels with Beavers
Dimes with Sailboat (The Bluenose)
Quarters with Elk/Moose/Caribou
Loonies with Loon
And Toonies Toonie with Polar Bear
Wait... this isn't a Canadian coin!
An Australian 5-Cent coin... how did that get in here?
Today's Grand Total: $17.49
Last time we did the count the total was $8.14

I had forgotten all about this! Love it!
Canadian monay! Haha I have such a rando collection of coinage too :)
The quarters have CARIBOU! Moose and elk look much different :)
Canadian money is so much prettier than money here! And that that Australian nickel is adorable... I never thought I'd call a coin "adorable".
Seconding @Red Deception re: Caribou. They are definitely caribou. :)
I miss Canadian money. Using dollar bills is so annoying! LOL
My sister and I have always done that. I always end up using my credit card these days though (gotta build that credit!) so I don't build up my change nearly enough.
yay!!! Now you can go buy loads of muffins!
The best I ever did was 27 dollars in change when I was 9:)
Haha I need to do that at some point, I have so much random change lurking around the house!
You are too cute sometimes.
I have a bottle where I keep dimes and a bottle where I keep pennies. Why only those two? because the openings of each of the bottles is only big enough to put dimes and pennies in. HA! Now I wonder how much I have saved up...
Like Sarah said, I too have so many random coins in so many random places... and I'm sure they all add up to quite a bit! Thanks for the inspiration. :-) I have been worrying about money lately so it is nice to think of some easy ways to acquire a few extra bucks!
You are too cute :-) You are like a little kid - I love it.
