Val Tries to Make CENTS of the Recent Drought

After flowing like springtime mountain meltwater, Val's Future Pennyillionaire watershed has dried up in recent weeks. Only a single drop was available to quench her thirst for pennies.

FRIDAY, April 26, I was twitchy and on-edge from penny-finding withdrawal. The week was not treating me well. As I stood in line at the Backroad's Casey's, waiting to cash in a winning scratcher, I looked left. Good thing, too!


Misers and other penny-pickers had left me no crumbs at any of my regular hangouts throughout the week. But I spied this 1967 heads-up coin almost by accident. I don't normally look for pennies way over there. It must have taken a good roll, or the line was way backed up when it was dropped.


There's my latest Abe Lincoln, understated, with his patina of age preventing a gaudy shine.

I am prepared to continue on my Future Pennyillionaire Fortune quest, even if it's only one penny at a time.

  1. I had no idea there could be withdrawal symptoms from lack of penny-findings. I'm glad you found that one to tide you over.

    1. Finding pennies meant just for me is the least vice of my three addictions. 44 oz fountain Diet Cokes, and lottery tickets/casino trips being the other two!
