Just one coin

Today I found a penny on a sidewalk.

Current stake: $28.87

One dollar

I was just given a one dollar coin towards my stake.

Current stake: $28.86

Also, I thought I would check the price of silver it is currently at $17.44.
That means that my 1963 silver dime is worth:
.0715 * 17.44 = $1.25
This is still not included in the total stake becuase it is an asset and not actual cash.

One Year to the Day.

I mixed in some other change with this found change pile and I'm not sure how much. Now while some have voiced their concerns that this is horrible, I disagree. I doubt it will be a problem.

I have in this pile of change:
38 quarters
16 dimes
12 nickles
25 pennies

For a total of: 11.71
Current stake: $27.86
STEP 12 COMPLETE

This is starting to look a like a bit more than a pile of change.

I started step 12 exactly one year ago and while I might have actually had enough money to be in step 13 earlier, it took me one entire year to get around to posting that I have made it to step 13 of the doubling challenge.
