    I need a dime

    Was standing in the breakroom at work with $.90 and said, Lord I need a dime. I reached into the change tray on the 3 vending machines we have and pulled out a quarter. I said thank you Lord. But then I realized it was a 1964 Silver Quarter. So I still need a dime. Maybe God was telling me I don't need a coke afterall.

    Send me a self addressed stamped envelope, and a 1964 silver quarter, and I'll send you two dimes! ; )

    I once looked for change on the sidewalk, but later found the most likely place to find it was in the newspaper stands on most every street corner. One day near the main bus stop a guy asked me for a quarter and I noticed beside him, a quarter in a news stand slot, reached over there and handed it to him. hahaha

    It's not that you don't need a coke,it's you don't need to spend a 1.00 on a can of coke. Go to the store and buy one for .50.

    Last money I found was a couple weeks ago - $8 left in a roll of quarters on a car wash coin box.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Last money I found was that ceiling fan sitting out by the curb a couple hours ago.

    Well, OK, last folding money I found was a 20-spot blowing across the Walmart parking lot. But that's been awhile. I used to find paper all the time, but not so much the past few years.

    just had a dryer dropped off at my dumpster. Taking the motor out, 1 quarter, 5 dimes, 8 pennies, and some foreign 20 cent piece fell out of the lent trap. Which I never even thought to look in before

    Went to coin star last night had 37.43 from dryers this past month it kept spitting a penny and a dime back at me I bet you I replaced them back in at least 5 times and finally I picked them up and looked at them wondering what was going wrong only to find that the penny was a 1800s Indian head penny and the dime that the machine refused to take several times was a 1964 silver dime! Lol just imagine how dumb I felt.
