I love to pick up pennies. Especially if they are head side up. That is the premier coin to find.
I do some superstitious things sometimes. For example, the fifty dollar bill I found, I immediately took it to the bank and broke it up. No, now that I think about it I went to lunch and used it to buy Arby's. I do not walk around with U.S. Grant in my pocket. That motherfucker died broke.
A few things:
1. I also love to pick up pennies. I use it as a reminder to be a wise steward of my money and remember not to waste it. Also, taking a second to bend over, it's a hell of a lot easier way to make money than what I do all day.
2. Grant wasn't a pauper when he died but did lose a considerable amount of his wealth. However, his memoirs sold like hotcakes after he died so his family was really well off after he died.
3. I think the $50 bill is the most aesthetically pleasing of all of the paper currency. The picture of Grant is just really wonderful. It's far an away my favorite bill.
4. Arby's is great, just great. I went there yesterday, that was a good use of your found fifty.
I like the hundreds. Lots of bells and whistles.
