Happy hunting, and never be ashamed to bend down and pick up a penny!

I love this Luke! I have been picking up pennies and according them the traditional "Find a penny, pcik it up-all the day you'll have good luck" mantra for as long as I can remember.
The largest amount I have found was a $20 bill at a time when it was as good as finding a thousand.
The day I kept finding more and more-about 20 cents outside a restaurant-I was giddy-my companion was red-in-the face waiting a little distance away until I was done.
I now keep them in jars-separated from the non-vagrant ones in a special place of honor on the mantle.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

Congrats!! I found a penny at a local convenience store this morning and dropped it into the Penny Fund beside the cash register. Must I now pay tax on that penny and the person that needs it to complete his/her purchase will have to pay tax also on that very same little penny? This is so sad! Your get rich slowly plan may just take 30% longer than you thought it would. I tried to post the comment on FiLife but had a brain burp with the password. Loved the article. Congrats!!

Famous I think is stretching it a little. Maybe one day.
