$\"\"$ <\/a>We estimate we find about 30-40 dollars a year. This year was a banner year because Kris found three 20 dollar bills rolled up one day, and our all-time favorite is the time we (almost simultaneously) spotted a bill on the ground coming out of a professional sports stadium \u2026 I bent over picked it up, and stuffed it in my pocket because it was so crowded. I said to Kris, \u201cI think it was a ten dollar bill.\u201d Kris said, \u201cI think it was more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

So I pulled it out and, sure enough, a 100 dollar bill.<\/p>\n

But the ordinary finds are pennies and dimes, an occasional nickel, sometimes a quarter. But bills come our way about once every year or two.<\/p>\n

How about you? Do you keep your head down?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
