Where Is The Best Place In Public To Find Money?

Question

I am working on a project (One Penny Project) that involves finding a penny and then doubling that penny. Continue the process until ... well you get the idea.

Other then the obvious (parking lot, laundromat,outsite stores, near swings) what are the best places to look for change.

Answer 1

A good place to check for change is under vending machines.

People will often dig money out of their pockets and drop a coin or two. Also, the machine will sometimes eject any change out of the return and it will hit the floor. This change sometimes rolls under the machine and people either don't feel like getting it or see that it's too dirty and not want to bother with it.

Another good place to check for extra change is at your local coffee house (or any place that would have a sofa or comfortable chair). Just as change often falls out of your pockets and into the sofa at home, it happens in public places too. So go find your nice coffee house and check those cushions for change.

Answer 2

Stay away from CashCreate, Treasure Trooper and other survey Web sites.

It is a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.

If you choose to be suckered in and sign up to take surveys and receive, free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your credit card and personal information you have now opened your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.

A lot of work to collect the "reward payments" that payout is not worth the effort over time. You will need to sign up for many types of offers, most of which require you to use a credit card. You start a week trial service with varies types of businesses or services, such as, an Internet service provider, book club, credit monitoring service, etc. to get your reward. If you don't cancel the trial, you end up being charged for the service and each service has different rules about how and when you can cancel. Very cumbersome!

Since you will need to sign up for at least a dozen offers before you get to $100 in rewards, it's very easy to forget what you have signed up for, or the problems you will have canceling in time to to be charged the full amount. The Cash Create recruiters you see here over exaggerate how much money you can earn because once you've done the high-dollar trials ($8-10 each), you are left with small rewards of a dollar or two. The survey business is not an efficient way to make money and you are more than likely to loose money in the end.
