Coins

 
Do you have pennies all over the place like we do? I find them EVERYWHERE. Normal and strange places.  In the sofa. On the floor. In the jewelry box. In the napkin basket. On a shelf. In the bottom of my purse. Under the bed. Wherever toys are. In anything cup-shaped on my dresser.  In the cup holder in the car. In the freezer. (The Boy freezes everything to see what might happen.)

Don't forget the Winn-Dixie parking lot.

We were looking up the value of one of our silver dollars last night and found some interesting information.

A 1943 copper penny is so rare, it is worth anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 dollars! (Read this.)

Our silver dollar from the 1800s is only worth $60! Some old silver dollars are worth thousands...

Years ago, someone told me to never throw away a penny or walk by one on the ground. The words "In God We Trust" are on the pennies and they are a small but powerful reminder of Who is in control of our lives. Through the years, I've been amused at the Lord for His timely reminders for me when I find a penny here and there. I always stop to pick it up and smile at the reminder...to trust Him.

Anyway, all that to say....don't ignore the lowly penny!!!

Going now to show the kids how to check pennies!! I'll let you know if we find one from 1943!
