Some people associate finding coins with loved ones that have passed. Ever the skeptic, I'm not a believer, but I wouldn't worry about your daughter falling back into bad habits.

I dunno, but dad always liked to play penny ante poker...had a big tin full of pennies. After he passed, my mother kept finding pennies all over the place, like he was still leaving them for her. Perhaps your daughter has a more generous benefactor! :)

How neat! Somewhat scary too, seeing a dime in a picture.

I remember when Dot-Mom, a former member mentioned that her deceased son loved peanuts, and she'd find a peanut in the shell in the hallway.

Here's a picture of the dime. She was really freaked out about. She's always finding them somewhere but never actually on her. I"m going to keep thinking this is a good sign. She thinks it's here dad who passed when she was 10. I'm thinking maybe her Aunt who passed a few years ago. She really loved my daughter. Or maybe her grandmother (my mom). Well, whoever it is, keep her safe. She has 3 kids to raise.

What does a dime have to do with drugs? What's the common thread?

I have the same question mamapinky. Except that people who tend to get into drugs are often also often more suggestible than others into the paranormal, conspiracy theories, hidden meanings etc.

We all find loose coins and don't think much about it. It's like never noticing a make or model of vehicle in a color until you buy one. Then you start seeing them everywhere. She's focused on dimes having special meanings so she notes each one she sees as having meaning. Dimes are common and we come across them every day.

Maybe she used to buy a lot of dime bags.

She was 10 when her Dad passed - maybe that is it! Awesome!

I never find coins in my house!

Hold a seance to get the answers or ask Mr. Quija.

Jas - I remember DotMom's son and the peanuts.

My friend keeps finding pennies everywhere. She says it is a message from her daughter who passed away 8 years ago. Maybe that's the origin of "pennies from heaven". Inflation might be the reason for dimes. My grandson gets a dollar from the tooth fairy. My kids got a quarter.

eld6161, I sent her you post. I really think it's someone telling her to keep up the good work.

I think any time you find money it's lucky! I don't know of "other" meanings or associations. You need a medium. :0)

I found a dime today!

I find pennies fairly often, I think it is because so many people toss them or don't bother to pick them up if they see them.

My husband finds coins on the street all the time. He believes this is lucky as long as he puts the coin in his left pocket, transfers it to a box, and does not spend it. He just told me he has a whole life of lucky coins in this box. I wonder if he still has his communion money? Anyway to prove the point that finding coins is lucky. One time, I kid you not, there was a quarter on the ledge of a urinal in a public bathroom. He debated but did not pocket it. On the country road on the way home, he got a flat tire. He could not loosen the bolts himself. While he thought that he had to call for road service and regretting being too skittish to retrieve the coin and not following the rules, a passing motorist offered help. He has never passed up another coin as far as I know.

Tell your daughter finding money is lucky and to enjoy it.

Yes, finding money is lucky. I used to find lots of money all the time. I once found 2 $20 bills on my street on a Sunday morning! I, too, would never spend the found money. I put it in jars. Finally, last year I rolled all the coins and with that and the paper money, I had over $200. I finally banked it and started over. It's slim pickings these days, but I do still find money.

My most recent find was a dime when I got out of my car at Walgreen's. As I picked it up, a really cute young man was coming up to the door of the store and he asked if it was "heads up"? I said it was and I hoped it was lucky enough for me to find what I was looking for. He said it should be on sale too! I happened to be looking for a spider web for Halloween for a big spider I have. I looked for quite awhile and was about to give up.......when I saw a package, just one, hanging on a peg. And it was on sale!!! Ca-ching!!!

Someone is looking out for her. Don't worry about who or why, just accept the help and be happy. Both my DH and I frequently find coins that we assume are from his father who passed 3 years ago. Monday, while we were handing out candy for trick or treat, a penny appeared on the window sill behind where we were sitting. :)

idstarr-yes that's what I'm talking about. Not her looking down and finding dimes. These dimes just seem to appear out of nowhere.

If you go to the Grieving Forum, you'll find a couple of long threads on Pennies from Heaven.

Here's one I started in 2004.

I think it's her Dad too. I believe we see reminders from our loved ones often, some pay attention, some don't. I love finding dimes and it happens often in the strangest places.
