Photo Challenge, Day 28
February 28: money.
I collect wheatie pennies. This bottle used to be full but once when I was in college I had to take the bus to work and I had no money so I used 50 wheaties. It nearly broke my heart but I had to get to work, so I could earn money, which I was out of…I think you see my dilemma. Some of them have come back to me over the years, but not all. It’s such a thrill when I get one. My sister, Pupcakes, sends me one now and again.

Are Wheaties the old pennies? Please ‘splain ta me! I’ll save mine for you…
Yes ma’am! Wheaties were made from the early 1900s until around the mid-1950s. They have two stalks of wheat on the back. Now we have the Lincoln Memorial.
It’s nice that you have a collection of these coins.
Anne, I had no idea you collected these. I will start saving mine for you!
Now I know where to go when I need bus money….your jar!
