The +5 by the total amount on the title was today's very first find- a fake nickel!! We've added it to the non-changepot (where we currently keep the foreign coins, broken jewelry, and ripped dollar bills). The dollar we found was pretty dirty (see picture below)- so dirty that we have placed it into a ziploc snack bag and added it into the changepot.
(Gross dollar and fake nickel)

Total today: $5.03 Total thus far: $79.69

That's not a bad idea actually! I wonder what would happen if i put a little diluted OxyClean in the bag?
Never seen a fake nickle before..Is it made of something different?
The nickel is probably from a toy set- it is the same size as a regular coin but it's made of plastic. The front part of the nickel says "PMG Money" on it. After some minor research on the net, it appears that these coins are used for teaching kids how to count money in the lower grades. Pretty cool though :)
