Just for fun Sunday while we were out running errands, the girls and I dropped three pennies and two dimes on the ground! Different places.
We know one penny was picked up because it was dropped near our van and was gone when we came back. We also saw a woman pick up a dime we dropped near the entrance to another store. She picked it up as we were coming out.
It was fun to think we made someone's day!
And, of course, a small lesson in giving. Oldest daughter was a bit inclined to keep her dime. I let her decide. In the end she dropped it!
Why $0.23? It's what I had in my purse.
We Gave Away $0.23

Thanks for reming me. I will do that today as I run some errands.

kind of a cool idea but i'd be worried about the poor little guy (the dime) finding a new home. It could just be swept up and lost forever.
