Big Easy Money

I spent Halloween weekend in New Orleans on a freelance production project, and as you might expect in a town full of drunken revelry, there seemed to be change scattered everywhere I went. Over the course of four days, I snagged 83 more cents to donate. Included in that total are an inordinate number of very new, very shiny 2010 pennies. That brings the found money fund to $26.52 year to date.

I half wonder if that's not a calculated decision by the mint, introducing newbies to circulation in a spot where they will quickly disperse throughout the country in tens of thousands of hung over pockets. If so, it's my pleasure to help put their plan into action!
