The new jar is getting filled up very quickly, especially after finding 7 dollars and 92 cents during March and April.
My ability to spot change from far distances is improving, but also my methods of looking in certain places. It makes perfect sense to look in places where change is used like around copy machines and vending machines. I regularly find change in those areas as well as in front of cashiers a fast food places and grocery stores.
I am also noticing that I have competition. Sometimes I spot a coin and while I am walking towards it, someone picks in up before I get the chance. I have also found people scanning the coin slots of vending machines just as I do on a regular basis.
I also had a great opportunity at the and of March to go to Six Flags and look for change all day there. While I found mostly pennies as always, I found over a dollar in change during the course of the day.
I have also found on Twitter that people are starting to take interest in this project. I have gotten several tweets from people commenting on the change I find and even people tweeting me pictures of they change that they have found. I find that especially cool.
The semester at my school is ending soon so I most likely wont be finding change there for a few months, but I am hopeful that I will be doing something that will allow me to find change in a variety of new locations. Ill tell more in the next blog post.
