54The famous Bucket
Money for Nothing
In my home I have a small bucket (picture left) and in that bucket are 1ps,2ps,5p,10p,20p,50p,and £1 coins(p=pence) all of which members of my family have found in the street.
the bucket is half full now and we only started to fill it at easter time I counted it all about a week ago and found there was just under £71.00 of if you prefer $139.00 approx,
In 8 months,isn't bad going probably more than some people including myself can make in ad revenue from a website in that time.
when we do fill the bucket,or when it gets to £100.00 or $195.00 we are thinking of investing it somewhere,and let it build.
then we will start all over again finding pennies in the street until it fills again.
My children make a game of it when we go out seeing who can find the most,they have great fun and when they find a penny, the excitement in their eyes is plain for all to see.
See a penny pick it up,save it with the rest its money for nothing..
Well it is said that the Scots thrifty lol have fun.....jimmy
see a penny pick it up

thanks wajay
Great Hub, Jimmy. I do the same thing, pick up what I see on the ground and add it with the rest of my change to a jar on my dresser and then deposit it to my savings account periodically. I just have one question. Since the Scots are so thrifty (I seem to remember an earlier Hub where the definition of a copper wire as being two Scotsmen fighting over a penny) is it the English and foreign tourists who are dropping these coins on the ground for you? Lol.
lol,i havent a clue but coppers are everywhere you go these days its as if it aint a note people dont want it such a waste .....jimmy
