Time to buy a lottery ticket I think

[Coinstar magnet]

I was on my way to my part time job and found a $20 bill on the ground of the parking lot...my brain thought it was fake at first...perhaps time to buy a lottery ticket?

Nah, don't buy a lottery ticket, buy $20 worth of silver! You can get alot of circulated silver dimes from the coin shop!

Yes one time I was trying to find a parking space in a busy parking lot.
Going round and round I finally found a parking spot and opened the car door and found a $5 bill on the floor

I always think of how much money is in the ground Ive gone out and found close to 100 coins many times lots of quarters ect there has to be billions of dollars in just coins in the ground. lol

I hadn't thought of it that way before...but I often imagine drunk roman soldiers dropping their coins.

I once walked for a little over a mile on the side of a highway collecting every single coin I could find below the guard rail. I found something like $1.20 in coins and a silver hoop earring (5 grams sterling if I remember correctly). Since there are four guard rails per highway (two for northbound and two for southbound) I estimated there was about $5 in coins under the guard rails of every mile of highway (in NYC) plus random jewlery also.

So where are all these coins and jewelry coming from? My theory is from car crashes, and spilling out of the pockets of motorcyclists.

So we can extrapolate the numbers. How many miles of highway there are in NYC times four, times $1.20. Tens of thousands of dollars in the least is my estimate. Now, all we need is a vehicle equipped with a big vaccum.
