spot of tea?

February 24th, 2010 at 04:04 am

Tuesday
Saving log - $0
Spending log - $1.75 coffee
Found money - $0.16 I think!

Monday
Saving log - $2 tip box
Spending log - $1.75 coffee + $7 sushi roll lunch
Found money - $0.05 (bus stop, bus, Safeway change cup)

Today was an interesting day for found money - first I found a penny that looked like a pie in which a big wedge had been taken out, then I found what I thought was a quarter in the gutter. It turned out to be a UK 10 pence. Spot of tea, anyone? If you arrange my finds this afternoon just right it looks like the lion in the pence took a bite out of Lincoln's head.

So what's 10p worth? Today's rate: $1 US : 1.5UK pound sterling. So about 15 cents.

I wonder if I got a souvenir from a Vancouver tourist who mosey-ed down here.

    Coincidentally, I found a 2 deutchmark coin on my dresser yesterday. So much bigger than a quarter. How could I mistakenly get that in change?.

    A shilling for Twinings? I have found Korean won and Euro coins on the buses here. Don't ask me about how much Canadian money I have: I collect the coins for parking.

    Some enochlophobic Vancouverites with active passports have escaped down here, to be sure.
