Or maybe coinage...I love wheat pennies and save all that I find. When ever I come across one I put it in a little Saki cup on the mantel in front of the old picture of the boss's mom all dressed up. After a few accumulate then I put them away and start again.
for more Sunday Stills...
i really like the shadow in the first photo :)

ReplyDeletei read a neat short story once about a boy that could see the history of a penny if he put it on his tongue. i just have to imagine where all it's been.
I love pennies in general.........I've tried collecting one from every year of my life. Ed should have called this challenge "Show me the Money" ;) Okay it's late and I'm a bit giddy:(
ReplyDeletemsw, thanks, my son suggested I crop it that way
ReplyDeleteLisa, me too. I don't have any idea where they all are
Ed, our folks got us started when we were kids
AKA, not by accident I'm afraid
Steve, harrumph! Birthday year indeed. I'll have you know that the penny has seven years on me. lol
gtyup, thanks, I found the cup at a junk sale and only paid a nickel for it!
Jeffro, that is cool, my folks made up look for them when we were kids and I never got out of the habit
FW, thanks, I find maybe a half dozen or so a year
Holly, thanks!
Vs, that sounds like a nice container. Mine are in all sorts of things from old check boxes to cocoa cans
Laughing Orca, thanks, I enjoy them very much
Ericka, now that is the kind of story Beck and I much enjoy....
Linda, you are right! I like the idea of saving a coin from every year of your life. I sure would have a pocketful. lol
Nice shots. I need to check my pennies. :)
ReplyDeleteOk I'm going to bite and guess that a wheat penny is..... that wheat on either side of the coin. Hey give me a break I'm Canadian we don't have such things here.....I don't think so....do we.
ReplyDeletedibear, thanks, I love finding them!
