Lucky Five Dollar Canadian Bill!

Since my last post ("A lucky Ten Dollar Canadian Bill and More!") on August 21, 2010, I've found another lucky Canadian bill - this time a $5.00CAN bill. I also found one loonie ($1.00CAN coin), two lucky quarters ($0.25CAN coin), eight dimes ($0.10CAN coin), 3 nickles ($0.05CAN coin), and 113 lucky pennies (0.01CAN coins)! This give me a total of $8.58 in found lucky money over the last 26 days and daily lucky found money average of $8.58/26 = (approx.) $0.33 per day. Wonderful! :)

Total Found Change Since Last Post: $8.58
Total Recorded 2010: $77.86 + €0.06 + £0.01 + 1.00Mex$
Grand Total Since Recording January 19, 2009: $93.78 + $8.58 + £0.31 + €0.06 + 1.00Mex$= $102.36 + £0.31 + €0.06 + 1.00Mex$.

I've now found over $100 in lucky change in LESS than 2 years. Neat!

QUESTION: What is the most interesting piece of found money you've discovered this year and why? Please share your experiences in the comments section of this post.
