Cute story about a family finding lost change

So last week I talked about taking loose change and sticking it in a jar to see how much you can save. Well I was searching around for stories of people who have been able to pay off debt doing this, and I came across this cute article about a family called the Humpherys.

Every day the family comes home and deposits their findings (lost change found on sidewalks, hallways, etc) into a plastic container. 3 ½ years later, this money has added up to almost $1100.

They blog about their money findings, and use these money findings to teach their kids a lesson about realizing that their father is not an endless supply of money. They are trying to instill the lesson that “every penny counts”.

I find this to be a wonderful way to teach kids the value of a dollar. What do you think?
