You’re out to give away “Lucky Pennies” to the Hopeless. You’re at the supermarket and by some instinct, you happen to ask the bagger, “Could you use a little more luck?” — well, who can’t?
There’s a sea of homeless and hopeless people out there and you can’t help them — you’re just barely making it month-to-month, or you aren’t quite making it month-to-month.
Those are the only two options open to you, thanks to some very rich Wall Street brokers, bankers and very corrupt politicians both in and out of Washington. Crime apparently DOES pay.
Well, to Hell with all those tyrants and bullies and mean nasty rude people who are running us like mice in a cage — the Hell with them — let’s make a buck!
Actually, let’s give away pennies to the hopeless — but what kind of pennies, and from where are we going to get them?
Walk up to some strangers and ask them: “Could you use a little more luck?”, and go into your pitch, “I’m giving these Lucky Pennies away to the hopeless, to give them a ray of hope, a glimmer of a chance, to get themselves back together again and get off the street.”
If they ask “What is luck?” or “So why don’t you just give them a plain old penny?”, these are not the droids you’re looking for, get away from them and find someone who knows what luck is, and understands that it costs YOU half a buck to give that coin away in a form that will do some actual good.
Most people give money because they feel guilty or they’re afraid.
The Fear of God is what drives most people to give money at church. Please note that in Judaism and several other major religions, there is no collection plate, no money taken or exchanged in the Holy Sanctuary, and there’s a good reason for this, which goes back to Jesus and the Money-Lenders.
Those good old money-lenders are part of the brainwashing of a variety of brands of religions, but here’s the real story:
Roman money carried the image of the Emperor. Graven images are forbidden by Jewish law, and graven images in the sacred temple doubly so.
In order to make a donation to the temple — again, no collection plate at the service, the donation was delivered prior to passing through the temple doorway — the money could not be Roman, so money-CHANGERS stationed themselves around the temple entrance and competed with each other to give you the best exchange rate for your money.
That’s very different from money-LENDERS, which came about as a result of Jews being forbidden to own businesses, shops, or to attend university or other “rights” of non-Jewish citizens of Europe and Eastern Europe just a very few years ago, well within my present lifetime.
The story of Jesus and the Money LENDERS was intended to de-humanize the Jews so they could be killed without a second thought.
The Jews didn’t kill Jesus. The Romans did, and now they own Christianity, which was the prize — it’s always about money.
The Jews are the scapegoat for a lot of folks, but there are so many other scapegoat minorities that are attacked brutally by the ruling class.
Turn someone in for being Jewish, and you are awarded with their possessions, their house, their business and their influence. Lots of motivation there, and if the laws are changed and being Jewish is outlawed, you’ve stayed too long in America.
I was here for the First Holocaust. Yes, the First. Only the first. The first of many Holocausts, until humanity wipes itself clean from the map and scours the soil with salt so no living thing can grow there ever again, but they’ll be wrong — living things tend to return after they’ve been cut back, like roses springing annually from a stump of a stem sticking out of the dirt.
The Hell with roses, let’s talk pennies.
Pennies. Lucky pennies. Let’s talk about Lucky Pennies for the Poor, okay? When you hand a Lucky Penny to someone, it’s not about money.
It’s not about money — it’s about confidence and a spark of hope. People on the street are invisible to those who have a job, have a home, have a family, have some hope.
It is well-said about million-dollar lottery winners — with a year, their lives are much worse than before. It’s not about money. Without luck, money is worthless. You don’t have enough money to give, but luck is bountiful and boundless. Luck has no limit.
How to help street people? Give them recognition. SEE them, respond to them, get them to see the light at the end of the tunnel, because for the lucky, there IS one.
Street People are Nothings.
They were once something, really someone, perhaps even someone important, but now they’re a nothing, to be ignored, glance averted, invisible, bothersome, troubling, annoying, saddening, fearing.
You’re right there with them, handing them a lucky penny with its instructions for use, recognizing them, getting into communication with them. It’s been a long time since anyone saw them as a person, not a homeless bum.
You have to tell them that you can’t help them with money, you haven’t enough to share, but you came to give them hope, and maybe a little relief from the deep depression and despair.
Many homeless people are very talented and highly skilled, highly trained and very able and willing to work, but there are no jobs, regardless of the statistics you see from the party in power.
Homeless people are by and large not on the street by choice, and seldom did they do anything wrong to bring about this state of affairs.
Many businesses, especially small businesses, are failing under Trump’s Iron Fist, or deciding not to open right now, when things are so uncertain.
ALL first-generation immigrants are afraid of ICE, even though they are completely legal. Many American-born non-whites are literally fearful of going out in public. Many of my non-white friends, and I have a LOT of non-white friends, tell me that they now think twice before going out of their homes, even shopping for groceries or going to a restaurant, a show or a social event, and that’s due to the overwhelming bullies who are trying to get all non-whites out of America the Beautiful, which isn’t quite as beautiful as it was, is it?
Teenagers have threatened me with death just for being elderly, although they have no idea what kind of trouble they’d have run into trying to take me down, but what about those who can’t handle themselves in a death-match?
They have no hope, not a prayer, and it makes them vulnerable to despair, and that’s the end of the road, period.
That can all change by someone handing them a Lucky Penny and explaining how it works. It DOES work, by the way.
Pennies for the Poor cost half a dollar to deliver, per each.
That’s okay if you’ve got a ton of money, but those with a ton of money don’t typically give to the poor — they get tax breaks, so they GET from the poor — do you see how it works?
So I have to give them out maybe three a day, to fit into my social security budget, which I DO rely on. My policy is to get with the troops. You have no idea what the effect is of your orders from on-high, unless you experience it from the ground up, and that’s what I always do, which is why I’m here in the first place.
I have to get a hands-on gritty feel of the mission, and so I only work with what I can scrape together, which is how I earned the nickname, “The Scrounge of Corsica”.
You need a LOT of money to have the time, energy and ability to deliver free pennies from Heaven to the homeless, and that means it has to come from those who are NOT homeless, and that means you.
I need to sell a LOT of Rodneys to be able to give freely to the poor, the homeless and the hopeless — what we call “The Legion of the Lost”, and even then, it won’t be enough to cover the costs of giving away what looks like pennies, but actually translates to one U.S. half-dollar, at every giving.
A penny costs half a buck to deliver. It costs ten bucks to give away 20 Lucky Pennies, along with the instructions & backstory on how to use them.
Street people are just like yourself, except that they somehow unexpectedly ended up on the street, jobless and broke and hungry and cold and sad, unutterably sad, and it need not be so. Quite a few are capable of recovering, if they had the chance.
Many just need a spark of hope.
Most people who are homeless now are quite competent at a variety of labors, including engineering, space technology and biochemistry, but they lost their jobs because there’s a trade war, and before that there was a bank bail-out and before that there was a hurricane.
It’s always something, and the poor are the first to feel the crunch.
So you’re out there on behalf of the Angels, sparking homeless people with hope and a bit of recognition face-to-face, up close and personal — they’re human beings again, with a spirit living inside that body, a spirit that needs freedom and hope for change.
That’s what you’re giving them with the Lucky Penny.
Lucky Pennies are for giving away. You don’t sell Lucky Pennies. They give HOPE, not cash in front.
With HOPE in their hearts, good things can start to happen for them again, and you can be an agent for this miracle of change in their hopeless and futile lives.
If you want to be a part of our volunteer army, the Legion of the Lost, you can send for Lucky Rodneys to sell, and use the extra cash to give away Lucky Pennies.
If you haven’t the time, energy or skills to give away Lucky Pennies or to sell Lucky Rodneys so you can afford to give away Lucky Pennies, how about backing someone?
You can send a donation, and our volunteers will search pennies, give away pennies and sell Lucky Rodneys on your behalf.
If you would like to benefit and help at the same time, you can elect to back a Rodney Box, which is a $500 bank box of quarters — I’ll search it, and share 50/50 with you whatever goodies I’ve found, then cash in the remaining quarters and send you the cash.
We split by dollar value all the goodies I’ve found in there, which will amount to about one, maybe two rolls of quarters being taken in, the rest returned to circulation.
I’m very picky about which coins I take in — I haven’t room for any duds. If it’s not perfect now, it won’t be any better as it ages and crumbles before your very eyes, right then and there, on your workbench.
Another way you could help out, participate in the effort to eradicate DESPAIR is to conduct your own searches, organize a COINOLOGY coin club in your hometown, set up a Zombie Family Foods booth or kiosk or countertop in a host shop or fair or sidewalk sale or flea market or rummage sale or yard sale or estate sale or garage sale or any other form of sale including sidewalk “walkabout” sales with a sandwich board and a tee-shirt proclaiming that you’re selling stuff.
It all works, but YOU have to participate in order to make it work for YOU, and your motivation has to be outside yourself, on behalf of all beings everywhere, but in particular those people to whom you can give a ray of hope with a Lucky Penny and a friendly smile.
There’s a lot more to it — many homeless and street people in general are — with good reason — distrustful of “straights” like yourself, and might get downright belligerent if they’re scared that you might be an ICE agent or informant, or that you might be someone trying to take away the few benefits they do manage to receive without a home address, and there are precious few of those.
The poorer you are, the less likely you’ll get help.
Without good personal management, a life can go into a continuous spiral of downfall, with all hope gone, which leads to desperation and despair.
It’s the end for most, and that’s a relief to the very rich when someone poor is no longer there to cause trouble.
To the very rich, the poor can only be a tax break. They have no faces, no hearts, no souls, no lives — it’s so easy to dismiss them when they’re nobody, a nothing.
So won’t you join the March of Pennies?
Your donation will go toward searching and packaging the pennies. The package is SO important — it explains WHY that penny is so lucky, and gives hope at what it might bring. The fact that the penny is money is actually irrelevant.
The luckiness is the actual gift.
Explaining how luck works is a matter of getting the idea across, and the backstory on the package explains it, gives all the details they’ll need to understand how it works.
What the packaging CAN’T give is the EXPERIENCE of luck — some have it, some don’t. Belief in luck is a large part of how it works, because you need to be relaxed enough to trust to luck, to go with your instincts, not your double-thinking mental contortions.
That’s what that Lucky Penny restores to some, not all, recipients.
They have to be open to the experience, and most are not — you’ll have to find the ones who can respond and use “Luck Power” to get off the street, and they ARE out there, waiting for the spark of life to return.
When you FEEL lucky, you WILL BE lucky. Confidence that Luck is With You is the key element, along with the magical force of luckiness itself, the defiance of the odds.
Luck is a palpable experience. When Luck is With You, you can FEEL it, like The Force. May Luck Be With You, May the Force Be With You.
It’s all about confidence, and there’s nothing like a Lucky Penny to inspire confidence, and that’s when things start going good again.
Trust in Luck.
It IS a trust issue. If you see it in religious terms, then “Trust God” would be a good thing to remember, and by golly, the penny has it right there, on its freshly-minted surface, the motto “In God We Trust” is stamped right into the metal — now, how much clearer can the message get?
God is Luck. “In God We Trust” is the official motto on the U.S. Lincoln Cent. You are teaching people to trust in God, and that’s the job description in a nutshell.
Trust in God.
When you trust, good things happen.
You can be a powerful Agent of Change, even if you don’t personally take the action. You can support this action by the generosity of your free-will donations — I hope you plan to continue to donate, and it can be in small increments.
Every penny works. No contribution is too small, and YOUR contribution is very, very appreciated and will go to do a LOT of good in a VERY bad world, dominated by Trump & his Minions.
Remember what happens to Minions?
I can give you a rundown of Quick-Search Methods for Pennies:
You’re looking for only three things in a penny search:
- GEMS — MS-60+ with great mint flash will be the LOW end of these beauties!
- ERRORS — Any error, but the grade must be MS-60 or better to qualify.
- DATE COINS — If you’re looking for current date or birthdate, you can pick these off as you find the GEMS and ERROR coins.
What makes the Lucky Penny so lucky is the IMPROBABILITY of the coin surviving in that condition for that length of time, and if it includes a mint error, it’s even more improbable, and therefore, luckier.
Luck is beating the odds.
Anything that is rare and unusual is beating the odds by any standards, and if you add into that the time-line and damage factors plus grade and detail, you get a rare coin. The fact is that someone could turn that Lucky Penny into a sale, if they knew their Coinology, but most folks don’t know one penny from another.
The truth is, if someone broke could get hold of a single roll of pennies, they could milk it for mint errors and sell them. They’d need a couple of pennies for the standard staple-type flip, and a pen to write the description and condition on the flip, and they’d be in business.
It’s a hell of a lot better than sitting around a campfire wondering how you’re going to fill that empty boiling can over there on the asphalt floor of your street space.
Ripoffs and sleeping safely are a big factor on the street. Until you can afford to live somewhere OFF the street, you can’t get off the street — that’s the real Catch-22 that awaits anyone unlucky enough to land on Skid Row, about which you can learn more by watching “Little Shop of Horrors”, the musical, not the original Roger Corman black & white horror film of the 1960s.
If someone shows interest in coin hunting for money, you have a potential return from the dead for which YOU would be the spark. Creating that opportunity where there is none is one way you can succeed at your Great Work.
They might not be able to search, but could sell — in which case, you can set up a distribution center for Lucky Pennies that the homeless could SELL for their benefit, and that could EASILY earn them a way off the street, but we need LOTS of donations to make that massive a giveway possible, but EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR helps to bring that closer to a reality!
I will start a program of penny-search for ERRORS and GEMS, which make up the greater portion of lucky coins, along with the giveaway “2018” pennies, which of course will go to “2019” next year — if there is one.
If there isn’t, I’ll be just outside the Light-Gate waiting for your passage. I have guides set up on either side of the White Vortex to literally take you by the hand and get you to where you need to be next.
My Habits Will Carry Me Through.
Hey, with any luck, the Rodneys, Lucky Pennies and Coin Hunter’s Safari Guide will carry you through, and with even more luck, these will become your new habits, like running a ZomFam booth or selling Lucky Rodneys on the street.
Your old habits got you through up to now, but where you’re going next, you’ll need new, much cleaner and more efficient, habits — Higher Habits.
That’s what I’m here for. To introduce Higher Habits. Got a better plan?
Okay, I’m Sold — How Can I Help???
Call, write, message, text or telepathically link to our service personnel, meaning anyone near the computer at the time.
Can’t help with money? How about sharing this with a million friends? Thanks for ANY effort you make on behalf of the MILLIONS of people living in tent-cities and under any bridge they can find to hang out for a few hours unmolested.
It’s a horrible life if you live it on the street, and even without money to give, you CAN help, you CAN make a difference. Get in touch and find out how you can participate, even if you’re at the end of your own financial rope.
We can reach millions of hopeless people with our Lucky Penny Project. It has the potential to do what government can never do — give hope to the homeless.
It’s going to take perseverance and dedication, but we CAN reach millions!
This is Not a Drill.
The situation is serious and the danger is clear and immediate — there has never been a sea of jobless and homeless as there is today, since the Great Depression of the Thirties.
It’s the same numbers, but the government has distorted the facts, and hidden away the millions of homeless living in tent cities all over the U.S. — in YOUR hometown there is a tent city, and more to come!
The Homeless are everywhere, and they are a growing percentage of the population, even more so since ICE detains anyone who looks like they MIGHT be a migrant worker.
It is an exercise against Overwhelming Odds.
You can use this exercise, giving away Pennies From Heaven, to bail yourself out of a round of bad luck or business fails, as well as a means of earning Bodhisattva Merit.
You can even earn Merit by donating just a single dollar to the project, and earn even more Merit by sharing this on every social media you’re able to access, and by continuing to do that every day forever.
That IS the job, are you ready to take it on?
- Send your contribution to IDHHB today!
- Start a Penny Search now!

DON’T DELAY, DO IT TODAY!!!
See You At The Top!!!
