Bike coins

Not having found coins for so long, I've gotten out of the blogging habit. And now that I work in the suburbs, lost coins are far and few between. When I do find a coin or two, it takes a few days for the slug in me to get around to write about it.

On Monday (December 9), I took the day off work to write a test for an online course I'm taking. Part of the requirement is we have to write the final at the college. I took the GO train downtown and walked from Union Station to the college. Being the first to write the test, I discovered all the issues. I was sent away (since they couldn't find the test) and asked to return. This gave them time to figure out what happened. 

I walked from the college to my old work location to meet my former workmates for lunch. Enroute I found a salt covered penny (year unknown) on the south side of Front Street, just west of the St. Lawrence Market.

We had lunch at a place called Dazzling - good food, nice selection of lunch specials and not expensive. (I had a spring roll and red curry veges. It also came with a salad-very yummy). And best of all, I got to catch up with my workmates. On my walk back to the college, I found a 2008 quarter near the entrance to the subway on the south west corner of King and Yonge.

As you will note from the pictures, both coins were found near bikes, although one bike has definitely seen better days.

Total 26¢.
