Since I now work Retail, I never look forward to this time of year. Black Friday was no exception. It was absolutely insane in the store. After the prison term (I mean my shift), I left the store as fast as I could. When I got to my vehicle, I noticed that someone had thrown a bunch of change on the ground. Being that I hate littering, I took the time to gather up as much as I could before leaving. I actually recovered $1.64 in change.
Of course, I had to look through everything when I got home. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this little beauty. Maybe Black Friday wasn't so terrible after all!
Never mind....It was :tinysmile_hmm_t:

Thanks Bob for giving hope to everyone that no matter how long we do this "collecting" thing we can still enjoy it and be surprised.
Very nice surprise indeed.

Nice, cannot get much better!
Was the hangup the littering part or, that you cannot leave a LC in dire straights? :tinysmile_classes_t

I've picked up many coins but have yet to find anything worthwhile from that endeavor. Don't go out in a lightning storm Bob. LOL

Lucky that you picked them up before they all got run over and became road kills. :)
