play ground equiptment --look at the foot of the slides and by swings --- look in coinstar machines "reject" slot --any type of publicly used vending type machine that makes "change" --folks at times walk away leaving "change" behind -- after hours lookin by the drive thru windows at fast food joints ---folks drop change and do not stop to "pick up" (block up the food line)

its known as "eyeballing" --being on the look out for "free money" ;D

Ivan pretty much said it all.

Look under soda machines if you can reach Beneath them.

I once heard the top of Soda machines
on occasions have coins laying on them.

look around Parking meters also.

Shopping center Lots.

along Fence lines at places like Malls, Ball Games,
& Outdoor festivals etc. on Windy days for
Paper money.

on the floor in Checkout lines, Etc. etc.

Laundry's under the Machines,

Car washes.

Car Vaccuums
go to the owner of your local
Car wash.

Ask what he does with the waste in the vacuum.
See if you can have it.

Take it home put on a pair of Gloves
& pick through it carefully.

If your in gold country,
Pan the fine dirt.

Take the Garbage bags out the Bins.
With Permission or at least replace the Plastic Garbage Bags.

Look inside all Fast food Bags.
even along the road.

When your in a Hurry at the drive through
you may chuck your change in the Bag & forget it.
I Have done this.

While Mentioning Cars

Cars that have the Gear shift on the Floor
& No rubber boot.
Coins drop in.

you will have to remove the plate to get in at them.

they also drop in the defroster vents on the dash.

and can be found in the rear ash trays on occasion

also look around where the seat belts & Front
seats Bolt to the floor.
coins seem to Migrate there
