Coins on the floor!!!!
Date: May 1, 2006
I was in a Spring cleaning frenzy of sorts today and was picking things up and was AMAZED at how many coins I found on the floor. I also found them on the tops of my dresser, headboard storage unit, shoe rack, etc.
I was in a Spring cleaning frenzy of sorts today and was picking things up and was AMAZED at how many coins I found on the floor. I also found them on the tops of my dresser, headboard storage unit, shoe rack, etc. I found enough loose change to pay for a dinner at my favorite sushi place. The question is, where did it all come from? I have heard that an average American home has about $150 of loose change laying around in couches, floors, etc. I didn't believe it until today.
A couple of weeks ago, my dryer blew a heat coupler so when we moved it out, again, probably $10 was on the floor in assorted coins. I guess I can add it to my haul today, and that would probably be about $30. This is intriguing...my husband's room looks like Oscar Madison's room from the old Odd Couple series. Yes, we have separate rooms - the snoring thing. His room is such a sight and you can't even walk through it. I bet there's at least $40 in there--maybe more. This isn't even addressing our coats and pockets...my alternative handbags, our coat closet or the biggee--the living room couch and love seat. I bet if we tipped either of those bad boys over, we'd find another mother lode.
So maybe another $40 between those sources? What are we up to now...$110? okay where would the other $40 come from? I don't have that answer but I bet it is somewhere, just waiting for me to go 'holy cow what is going on here?'
I guess a trip to Coin Star is in order...after the sushi!
