Lovely. I just found your blog and I've been picking up change (and returnable bottles/cans) for years. It has made a difference! Today I walked the dogs and found 62 cents total! Thank you for posting!

Hi, I just read about your blog on CNN. I think its a great idea, I've been doing it for years as well. I'm surprised you haven't picked up on one of the really good places to find change: fast food drive thru windows. I'm not sure how many of those there are in NYC, but around my area I can literally buy meals with the money found right outside the window.

Keep it up!

I found your blog through Mrs. accountability and Out of Debt again and I must say I have been paying more attention to the ground and I have found like 20 cents since I started reading your blog. Thank for the inspiration to look and not feel dumb doing it. My 8 year old and I are picking up cans for spare cash for things and I am thinking of funding our emergency fund by doing this. Keep up the great job!
