For all us coin finders this is a great day!  It’s National Penny Day!  So when you are walking into or out of Walmart today, look down and hopefully you will find a penny!  And if you do, pick it up and celebrate like it was a million dollars.  People who watch and hear you will think you are nutso, but so what?  You are celebrating the finding of someone elses loss and the wonderful National holiday it is!

WOOOPPPPEEEE!  I FOUND A PENNY!  (dance around)  YAAAAHHOOOOO!  A PENNY!  I FOUND A PENNY!  IT’S YOUR DAY PENNY!  (keep dancing and working your way to the car or to the front door of the store).  And then tuck it in your LEFT pocket!  Left pocket so you keep it separated from the rest of the coins in your pocket.  After all it is a very special penny.  You found it on National Penny Day and it should be kept separate from all the others.

A secret I have found about coins, especially pennys.  If you really, really, really, really want to find a penny, go to a McDonalds drive through window area, those kids who drive through there picking up their big meal, fries and a coke, toss those bad boys all over the ground!  Almost GUARANTEED you will find a penny around that window.  Maybe look on the passenger side of the car and perhaps a bit toward the outer curb where then tend to roll once dropped.  Oh Ya!

National Penny Day!  Put one in your shoe for good luck.  But as a word of caution don’t do that if you are in a marathon race or hiking any distance.

Enjoy the day!  National Penny Day!  I knew a girl named Penny when I grew up.
