Back in action! Val's Future Pennyillionaire Fortune continues to fatten.
SATURDAY, September 23, I was leaving Orb K when my eye was drawn to the floor.
It was a penny near the cardboard display they've set up near the rolling rack in the background, to funnel people into the maze to the checkout.
It was a face-down 1988 penny that I gladly pocketed for my future fortune.

THURSDAY, September 28, I was even luckier when exiting the Sis-Town Casey's.
It's a dime, by cracky, waiting for me outside the door. Didn't even need to ample-rumpus any innocent bystanders!
It was a heads-up 2022 dime, posed so photogenically. Welcome to my fortune!

ReplyDeleteHard to find coins while staying home!
DeleteThat cardboard display is very colourful, I would have missed the penny from staring at that instead.
ReplyDeleteWell, I suppose their marketing ploy is working. Getting people to look at the display is the first step in getting them to buy something from it.
DeleteYou are focused on coins! Red and yellow are thw two most popular colors for advertising. Also why school buses and taxis are yellow. It is the first color you notice in a car lot.
ReplyDeleteI did not know about those colors. I've had two yellow cars, and a red car! Those advertisers must know what they're doing.
DeleteSafety equipment is also yellow and now in neon. Bet you will look when you pass a parking lot now to see which color jumps out!
DeleteI will notice the displays in the store!
