Pennies From Heaven
They say when an angel misses you, they toss a penny down from heaven. Sadly, not everyone knows how much truth there is in this old adage.
Spirit has many interesting ways to communicate with us, and always on a very personal level. Your spiritual signs and signals can range from the truly spectacular to the very mundane. And sometimes they can be found in the most unusual places, or when they are least expected. Two of the most commonly sighted phenomena are coins or ‘pennies’, as well as feathers. Depending on your personal belief system, these items are left around for us by loved ones, angels, or animal and spirit guides.
No matter where you believe your signs may be coming from, they are most certainly meant especially for you, and they always have a sincere and personal meaning, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they may appear to be.
So, don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue. It may be a penny from heaven, that an Angel’s tossed to you – Charles Marshburn
Of course, many skeptics doubt that these phenomena exist, and it is often discounted as mere superstition or urban myth. I have, however, had several powerful personal experiences of such signs over the years, and I also hear frequent reports from friends and clients who experience the same thing. Spirit has indeed taught me some very valuable lessons through different signs and signals, and these personal, first-hand experiences contradict the most one-dimensional or misguided opinion of any skeptic.
A dear friend and client recently received very compelling confirmation of the signs she had been questioning for years.* She is currently in the midst of a major life transition and a personal transformation. For quite some time now we have been discussing the signs she has been receiving in the form of popular songs. She keeps hearing them: over the radio, in the gym and in the shopping mall. Once she even heard it on the phone, after she was placed on hold by a call centre. The signs keep coming consistently; every time she asks for them, she receives them. But the doubt secretly creeps back into her mind soon after. What if it was just her imagination?
Two days ago she messaged me, wanting to know if the latest incident was another sign. There is a specific song she has always associated with a certain special person in her life, for a very particular reason. She had now heard this song on three separate occasions at very significant moments. Each time it happened she was either with this person, or she was specifically thinking of him, or she was asking for a sign about him.
When suffering comes, we yearn for some sign from God, forgetting we have just had one – Mignon McLaughlin
I explained to her that we sometimes receive the same signs more than once, in order to overcome our doubt or fear. In her case she was getting her signs in three’s. But I also knew that she had to see proof of this for herself, before she would feel truly content. I therefore suggested she ask for a confirmation of the fact that important signs come to her in three’s.
The answer came sooner than anticipated. She was in a public place when she received my response. She did not even have to ask for confirmation. The minute she opened my text message on her cellphone, even before she had finished reading all of it, she discovered three pennies on a seat she was about to sit down on.
She immediately sent me the news and I then assured her that pennies are a well-known sign for many people all over the world. I also urged her to keep the pennies in a safe place and have another look at them later, because sometimes the dates or other engravings on them also have special meanings.
The next day I received a follow-up: “Thanks Anthon! You wouldn’t believe this, but later yesterday I saw three feathers. Well, actually four, I saw one at first and did a double take – but dismissed it, then an hour or so later saw a cluster of three feathers together on the floor.”
The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether there be any who understand it or not – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Messages from the spiritual realm are potentially life-changing, but they so often pass us by, unnoticed, mostly because of our lack of awareness. In fact, some of us are so stubborn or oblivious to our metaphysical reality that we first have to receive a pebble, then a rock and finally a ton of bricks, before we eventually sit up and pay attention! First there is a message, then a lesson and finally comes the crisis.
If you have never experienced the wonder of witnessing the effect of such miraculous signs and signals in your life, I highly recommend that you consider giving it a shot. What do you stand to lose? All you need to do is heighten your awareness and increase your consciousness. Don’t allow yourself to let your mystical reminders and spiritual signposts pass you by forever.
Signs and signals from the spiritual realm always have a purpose. Most often they are important guideposts or ‘traffic signs’ along our life path, confirming our choices, decisions and actions. Sometimes we receive these messages to console us in times of distress or sadness, while at other times they come as warnings, urging us to proceed with caution.
Reading your special signs and signals is your divine right, and a basic skill that anyone can develop. Some gurus would have you believe that this is a complex art or science, or that it requires special psychic abilities or years of study and practice. The truth is that this is a blessing freely available to all of us, regardless of whom we are or what we believe in. All you need to do is ask, and it will be given.
The whole visible universe is but a storehouse of images and signs to which the imagination will give a relative place and value; it is a sort of pasture which the imagination must digest and transform – Charles Baudelaire
The best way to start reading signs is by simply becoming more aware. Take more notice of the small wonders that happen in the world around you every day. Look out for patterns and synchronicities, because there are no ‘coincidences’ in life. Everything happens for a reason; there are no windfalls, only godsends.
Soon you will begin to discover your unique set of personal symbols and patterns. Your special signs could come in the form of dreams, colors, words, numbers, sounds, songs, computer messages, clouds, images, animals, people, places or specific objects, like coins and feathers. They could also come in a certain order or they may be repeated a certain number of times. The list of possibilities and combinations is truly endless. It is also very different for each individual, depending on your belief system, as well as your cultural background and your unique personality and interests.
Always keep your expectations simple and don’t expect weird riddles or complex messages. The message is always very clear and direct. The intention is after all to communicate and guide, not to confuse, frighten or mislead you. Also, use some common sense. If you never listen to the radio, you certainly cannot expect it to become a conduit for spiritual communication. Your signs will show up in accessible ways that complement your lifestyle, or match your personal outlook. All you need to do is become more aware and be open to the process.
Look after the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves – English Proverb
Finally, we need to be thankful for every sign or message we receive. Express your gratitude by being kind to yourself and others, and show your appreciation by caring for all living creatures, as well as our magnificent planet. Count each and every blessing.
The Universe is an abundant and interactive place of wonder and magic; it is ready and waiting to respond to your needs. You can heal your life and make all your wishes come true. Spirit wants the opportunity to guide you and protect you on your journey through life.
Acknowledge your higher self and learn to trust your intuition. You have inside of you a deep well of wisdom and you are connected to everything in the Universe. You are part of an infinite and ever-expanding grid of spiritual consciousness.
Use your signs and godsends to re-design your life and create the destiny you truly want; learn to apply your divine ‘early warning system’ to avoid unnecessary obstacles and setbacks along the way. All you need to do is ask. Reclaim what is rightfully yours.
* Dedicated to my friend ‘Ms C’. Thank you for allowing me to share your story with the world.

I was feeling blue today about a situation with a man I’ve been seeing. I asked for a sign today from my guides and specifically asked to see a feather if I should wait for this person when I was outside at lunch. I got back to my computer, opened facebook and this article with the image of the feather was the first thing in my newsfeed. I was given my sign. I saw my feather. It is true. Guides want to help, we just need to listen!
One of my goals in life is to learn as much as I can and this blog definitely teached me some things.
Hi, I like your article. I wish everyone would pay such attention to their article as you do. I came acros your blog on yahoo. I will arrive again to your weblog. I am sorry for my poor englisch, i am through the netherlands. Best regards from the netherlands!
Super article anthon! Well written and so true. Signs are Gods ways of telling you “Am here, you just cant see me….so please just feel me”
I enjoyed reading your info about signs…. I get pennys and feathers. Also see images of faces a lot. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Blessed to be of service 🙂
I very sadly lost my pet two days ago, we had to “let her go ” as she was in discomfort due to a tumor. I am a very open spiritual person and have been having thoughts of “where is she ?” “Is she ok ?” “Did we do the right thing ?” Certain places in the house, obviously remind me of her and she often came out into the garden if I was there hanging out laundry…etc Today I wandered out to peg something on the line and was drawn to a particular area of the garden where she would often hang out and I went over and sat down. I looked down to my left and there was a bird just standing as still as still can be by the fence. It stared at me for a long time and at first I wasn’t sure it was even alive it was so still, but every now and then it would blink it’s eyes. The bird then flapped away through a hole in the fence ( sometimes used by my cat ) through to the neighbours garden. Am I right to think that this was a sign to me ?
Hi Jeanette,
What a lovely story. It was most certainly a sign and its main purpose was to reassure you that you did the right thing after all. She was showing you that she was now free from pain and discomfort, that you have liberated her.
Your cat is still around you and she wanted to let you know that she will be waiting for you on the other side. The two of you will be re-united one day.
In the meantime it will be most kind of you to let her know that it is okay for her to move on now, until you meet again. Once she is sure that you are doing fine, she will go. In the meantime I recommend you ask her for another sign, something specific that will reassure and comfort you.

Guy, thank you for sharing your experiences! This is really awesome; I speak to so many people from day to day who have lost someone dear to them. It is amazing how much difference these signs can make in someone’s life. It truly is good for others to see what joy and comfort can be found in simply becoming more spiritually aware. Your website is a source of great support for many. Keep up the good work 🙂
Had been feeling sad for several days as I was missing a friend of mine that passed over last year. When I opened my email this morning I had a message from his brother (who live out of state) with picture of the tree I had bought him (in sympathy of my friend’s passing) with snow on it telling me how it was the only living thing around him around in the dead of winter. They are in a part of the country that does not get lots of snow but has been hammered lately. I live in a part of the country that gets lots of snow. Talk about a sign from my friend. I thanked both his brother and God immediately, as well as acknowledging my friend’s spirit. Made my day so much brighter.
I have suffered from depression and anxiety off and on for many years. Currently, my beautiful son has dropped out of engineering college after 5 years of trying to understand why he could not do the work. (He had almost perfect SAT scores.) I prayed and prayed and finally found out through doctors that he has a reading disability. He is up to his eyebrows in College Loans that I cannot help him with. I began to receive “pennies from heaven” last year. I even specified certain coins (eg. quarters), and received them when I asked for assurance. Dimes stand for my son. The last time I was in despair over his predicament, I asked for a dime as assurance that he would be OK. At the end of my daily walk, just when I thought nothing would get better, there was a shiny dime sitting in the snow just for me!! That dime in my pocket helps me get through every day. The future is so hard to wait for.
A few days after my dear dad passed away, I was walking my dog and throughout those days on my walks asking for a sign from heaven, a penny specifically. On this particular evening, I had almost given up, it was getting dark out, and I was just three houses from my home when I thought to myself, “Well, I guess I’m not getting a penny, but wouldn’t a quarter be great?” And right after I had that thought, maybe one or two seconds at the most, I looked down at my dog and saw something circular in the berm of the road. I bent down thinking it was probably a stone or an old bottle cap and picked it out of the dirt. It was an old corroded South Carolina collector’s quarter. I was utterly stunned and said out loud, “Oh, my God, Dad, thank you, and who needs a penny!” Then right after I said “Who needs a penny?” I took two steps, glanced down at the berm and saw another circular object embedded in the dirt. I bent over and picked it out. and it was a very old corroded penny! I was shocked and looked all around the area to see if someone had maybe dropped a pile of change long ago in that spot, but there were no other coins anywhere, and I looked long and hard. I feel this is a substantial miraculous sign from heaven and my dad, particularly in a day and age when so few people carry cash and change anymore (a debit card society); unlike when I was a girl and finding money, and change in particular, on the ground and store floors, was very common. I will treasure these two heavenly treasures all my life!
I am so glad to have stumbled across this site (thanks to my daughter in law). I lost my son 2 years ago from a tragic accident. He was 18 years old and he and his dad had this thing where they would flip pennies at each other. I however, did not like it but it was a thing he and his dad always did. Ever since he has passed we find pennies in random places and they are always on ‘tails’. I would clean the floors and we would leave for a little bit and come home and find pennies. I now smile every time I see them because I feel it is him saying haha dad I got the last throw… So glad other have experienced this. I have an special angel jar I place them in when we find them..
Dear RJ, Theresa, Miriam & Ursula, thank you for sharing your special personal experiences with us. Know that it serves as a source of comfort and confirmation for many who read your contributions. Many blessings! 😉
My step-son’s life was tragically taken two weeks ago today. When we were at the viewing the night before the funeral, a few people were putting special things in the casket, and my 12 year old son wanted to know if he could put something in there. Just a few weeks before this I had read an article in a magazine about “Pennies From Heaven”, and I shared the story with my son. We found the shiniest penny in my wallet and he placed it by his brother’s hands in the casket. Since the funeral my son has had a lot of questions about Heaven, and how did we know for sure his brother was there. We have talked about it, and shared anything we could think of to explain to him why we felt certain he was in Heaven. The best explanation came yesterday…he found a very shiny penny in our drive-way after school, and said he knew that his brother James was in Heaven. I know this was his way of letting his brother know that he was in fact in God’s hands now! It was really a WOW moment for us!
That is a wonderful story Laura. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Hi Anthon,

Maybe coz I wanted this kind of Angelic experience which has thrilled my soul!will write about the presence of Angels in my life another time.But its wonderful to read all this.Feels like HOMECOMING!

This article really hits home with me in this time of loss ,it makes so much sense to me . Thank you my friend!
I am sorry for your loss ty, my thoughts are with you!
awesome! thanks!
My father passed away 27 years ago. When my “mother figure” passed away 3 years ago I had such a hard time I cried out for my father to give me strength and that very next day and for the following 5 days I found a dime, where dimes wouldn’t normally be. Yesterday I had to put down my beloved pet dog, Casey Mungo. We had a 16 1/2 year journey together. When I brought him home from the vet to bury him, I laid him on my bed and unwrapped him from his favorite baby blanket and when I went to scoop him up to kiss him goodbye for the last time, I found a penny laying on my bed under his blanket. The dimes and the penney are truly from heaven. I am a believer.
This has actually happened to me 4 times. Twice at home and 2 times at work. Once in the kitchen my husband and I were putting groceries away and literally 1 penny fell from the ceilling and then another. We both looked up to see where they could have come from but there was no where…it’s just ceiling. Then one day at work I felt something hit my shoulder and wehn I looked down it was a penny. I asked the co worker next to me did she drop the penny and she said no, then just the other day it happened again and the same co worker said if I hadn’t of seen it for myself I wouldn’t have believed it. I still have the 4 pennies. I just got a tattoo with my dogs name on it so I think the latest might be from her, not sure about the other 3.
I have a question. My mom passed in May & my dad passed in 2008. Recently I started a job at a convenience store. I have been finding pennies on the floor often. Some are under cabinets some are in plain sight. Are these just dropped by customers or are they sent to me from above? I just don’t know what to think. I have never really believed.My daughter mentioned something abought dimes but these are pennies.
My step-dad passed away 1 week ago today. He had pancreatic cancer. He was scared of dying and in denial. At the end, his death was sudden, from internal bleeding. We hadn’t gotten along great, but I felt bad for him and I’m an Rn, so I helped out as much as I could during his illness. There was much family denial of the situation. I’m very interested in death and the afterlife. I could never get him to talk about it. But… here’s my story: at the viewing, I wore high heels and kept taking them off. Later when I took them off for the night, there was a shiny 1996 penny right in the middle of the left sole with some corrosion. About an hour later, we were playing a game, my fiance’s dice went flying and we had to search for it. On the floor near it was a corroded penny. The next day, after the funeral, we stopped in the woods in the middle of nowhere to see a pretty area my step-dad had told my fiance about. When we pulled in, there was something shiny under a rock by my door. A penny, 1996, appearing brand new!! I picked it up and a butterfly came over. The next morning, I opened the fridge and noticed sticking out from under the fridge, a very corroded penny. The floors has just been scrubbed, and it wasn’t there before. I was telling my sister and bro-in-law about the pennies from Heaven, and that I’d heard they were usually heads up, usually it’s only pennies and dimes, and the year seems to have no meaning. (I’ve read about this a lot, I know tons of people that have died and had lots of signs over the years). In their bags, when they got home, a corroded quarter in his and a corroded nickel in the children’s bag. My pennies have all been tails up. I have questions!! Why tails up? Why the corrosion (except the one outside that should have been corroded, logically?) Is he trying to show me that there are no rules, or things are not what they seem? What’s your thought? I can’t figure it out. He always was kind of… defiant and opinionated, lol.
I enjoyed your article and reading the comments from others very much. I recently found a penny in such an odd place (in the dishwasher, balanced on the top rack after a wash cycle was complete) that I cannot fathom an explanation other than that this was a penny from heavan. The only problem is, I have no clue who sent it or why. In theory, it could have come from any one of several deceased loved ones. But there is nothing pointing to any one of them. I’ve had similar signs over the years (sometimes pennies, sometimes other things) but I always had a pretty good idea who sent them and why. I am certainly receptive to them. But this one has me completely baffled.
Ten days ago I lost my oldest boy in a tragic accident he was 28 yrs old.The day after we visited a roadside memorial we were all sitting around telling stories of his life.All five of us that evening found single pennies at various locations around the house and outside at different times individually.After everyone found one it stopped.And the most amazing part was they were all 1983. the year of his birth. Mine was so shiny it looked brand new.We believe.
My name is Thomas, I am Marcia’s middle son. I lost my older brother ten days ago. I wanted to add on to what my mother shared in a previous blog. The penny story that happened to 5 individuals was amazing. Finding 5 pennies with my brother’s birth year within one night of telling stories has definitely made us all believers. We went from being skeptical, to believing and having faith in something other than this world. We are all very thankful for these signs and hope for many more to come.
I’m Adriana, Marcia’s Daughter in Law. A few days ago, after the tragic lost of my brother in law, I was a part of an amazing experience which reinforced my faith and hope. It took place at my in-laws the night after we went to visit the roadside memorial. How can 5 family members get so lucky and share such a breath taking moment with a very loved,lost family sibling?!… We’ll, all I can say is that he was there with us as we were sharing his life stories and he wanted to let us know that he was listening. 5 pennies with the year 83 within one night were found in the house by each one of us. I do not even have the words to describe how we all felt as this was happening, but what I can say is that he was giving us signs that he is still here with us and will forever be watching over our lives. He is our guardian.
I am Marcia’s husband I was there I am a Paramedic and I have been around tragedy my whole career. This one was ours.This did happen! I have always been a skeptic but now I believe.I was physically compelled to find my penny.I have never experienced anything like this.I know my step sons spirit was at work and I know it was our love for him that helped him send that message.
I am Marcia’s sister. I was feeling left out because I didn’t receive a penny from my nephew. We were very close and I was surprised that one didn’t come my way. I was having a very hard day on Monday and I was at parent teacher conference at my son’s school. I was sitting in the same place for about 1/2 an hour. I had looked around and chatted with other parents and as our turn came to go in I noticed something on the floor. It was a 1983 penny… It hadn’t been there when I sat down and no one dropped any change on the floor the whole time we were there so I believe it was from my nephew to help me when I was missing him so much. He let me know it was okay and he was right there with us.
I am Marcia’s youngest son Jake. 2 days ago I went into the fridge to get the cream out for coffee. I immediately stopped what I was doing i saw something at the bottom of the fridge in front of the crisper drawers. It was a penny and it was 1983. I turned to my girlfriend and said your not funny at all! She was like what are you talking about? I said the penny in the fridge…… She looked at me with a look I’ve never seen before and swore up and down she wasn’t messing with me. I was very freaked out but went on with my day. I left the house to do things she stayed and cleaned my whole house (when i say cleaned I mean it was spotless). Then she left for the day. I returned home later that evening no one was in my house all day. She got home 5 minutes after me we talked for a few minutes we looked down and right in the middle of the floor in front of the TV was a penny! I got up and said nope no way I’m not touching that that’s all you so she picked it up and it was 1983!!! I’ve never been a spiritual person but now I do believe my brother is here with us I am no longer freaked out it is comforting knowing he’s here with us. Sometimes i even look like a crazy person talking to him.
i was showering today, and turned my back to the shower head…when i heard something drop. i looked down, and it was a penny…i thought, now how the hell did a penny just drop in this shower? i told my mom, and she mentioned to me, ‘pennies from heaven’, and today happens to be the day i am attending my just passing grandma’s viewing…buggin’…
Today is my nephew’s 5th anniversary of his passing, I am a truck driver and had just stopped for the day for my 10 hr break, I got my laptop and went online to Facebook and saw a message from my sister, my nephew’s mother, she posted the song “over the rainbow” with the words “way up high” over the post, 2 minutes later I set up my satellite dish and start going through the channel guide and I see The Wizard Of Oz is playing on TNT, so I select the channel and the scene where Dorothy is singing over the rainbow is playing. I refuse to believe it was just a coincidence
I recently lost my dear best friend, soulmate and husband(all the same person) to a tragic motorcycle accident due to a texting driver. I have been in denial of his demise since August, in the last 2 months I have been asking GOD why and now I just pray for peace. Since November 23rd, his birthday, I take my sleeping pills and wake up every morning with three pennies in our bed next to me. We have been together 12 years and never spent a night apart, ever, is this a sign or am I going crazy? The dates I haven’t looked at because I feel I’m doing this in my sleep. A friend told me about you so I was hoping you could help me. My husband painted duck feathers as a hobby and now I am finding small feathers everywhere.My husband and I excepted CHRIST in our lives in January 2009 and I have had my Faith severely tested. Is this real? Dismayed in Georgia
@ Angie Engle it would be an pleasure to assist you. Please contact me for a reading at http://psychicaccess.com/1-AnthonStMaarten.php.
I had a strange experience after my daughter Becky passed. We have no closure but she is presumed dead her fiance killed himself. It was 12 am my husband turned the night lite off. after 2 minutes it turned on itself the whole room was illuminated in the light blue. It was my birthday I had been so sad all day was thinking of her. I believe that she came to say happy birthday to her mom. Ill never forget that night mother and daughter bond keep going on even in the afterlife.
Our son commited suicide on Fathers Day of 2011. We had no idea he was suffering. We are so devistated and our pain is unbelievable. I have been asking for a sign that he is ok, but I was told you can’t wish it. It will come when it’s right and when you least expect it. We have been finding pennies in places that sometime we have been just minutes and seconds earlier. We belive these are signs from our son. Our friend is a Intuitive reader so I asked him if these wer from our son and his response was they are either a wink from God or from our son to say he loves us. We have had other vsigns and I believe in my heart of hearts they are from our son. As much pain as we have these signs really help comfort us. I asked him to please never stop and I hope he does’t.
I loved youe article. It confirms alot of our feelings. Thank you!!
My Penny Story – A message from my Mom?
My mother died late in 2011. My wife and I took care of my mother for 16 years prior to her death. We loved her very much and I know now how much she loved us.
Anyway, on to the penny story. I collected rare coins for years. Not with great enthusiasm mind you but when I had a few extra bucks and the right coin presented itself, I would buy it.
More than 15 years ago I purchase a 1909 S VDB penny and I was estatic that I owned one. This penny is the holy grail of pennies, However soon after purchasing the penny, it turned up missing. I spent hundreds of hours over the years looking for that penny in this house. I never did find it. I assumed that it must have been mixed in with other less valuable pennies and sold or traded in bulk.
A short while after my mothers death, my wife and I were discussing where my grandmother was burried becasue we didn’t know. We were away when my grandmother died and unable to return for her burrial. I told my wife I was going to investigate where “Gram” was burried and the subject was dropped.
When my mother passed away, she left her house and belongings to me. One day while I was going through my mother’s closet, I found a lock box of which I did not have the key. Being a master of beating objects into submission I finally susceeded in opening this small but stout lock box.
When I looked inside I was left with tears in my eyes.
Within that lock box were only two items. A piece a paper with the location of my grandmothers grave site and my 1909 S VDB penny.
I had learned of Pennies from Heaven a month or so after that event. My mother said she would come back to me on my birthday if she could. I now am wasiting to see her in 2012 on my birthday. I can’t wait…. I miss her and love her so much.
I just wanted to tell the world my story …. Although I know only a few will read this.
I had never paid attention to anything like this before, but I am 65 and left my husband and travelled through white out conditions and wrecked the passengers side of my car trying to get here to my daughter’s. It all seemed like this was a big mistake in my life. When I got here, I was out in the gazebo smoking and said to my granddaughter,”oh look see a penny, pick it up, the rest of the day you’ll have good luck”. I didn’t think anything about it.
The next morning I came out to the “smoking shed” and was sitting there smoking and heard a “woosh”, very lightly and all of a sudden a penny ROLLED out from the chair I was sitting in and stopped and fell at my feet. It really freaked me out. Later in the day I went back out and lo and behold another penny was on the bookcase out there. Later another one showed up nex to me on a dresser. The final one came to me on the floor as I was getting ready to lock up. The rolling penny is the one that made me sit up and take notice. So I came online to see if anyone else has had anything remotely like this. We found something that said if you get “pennies from heaven” a loved one is trying to tell you “it will be alright”. I hope this is true because I’m going through one of the worst times of my life. Nothing else has happened since that day but I would like to think it was a good sign.
I lost my mother in early 2007. Coiincidentally, one of the last things things she said to me was, “Dave, I am going to send you pennies from heaven.” Well, there was nothing at first, but as of late…
The girl I stay with and I have been finding pennies everywhere! They show up on a basement floor, after we are sure that we have already swept. We have found them outside on the drive. We have even found some on the hard wood floors.
But here is halted me in my tracks. I was taking up the downstairs carpet, so that we could get down to the tile. No pennies. BUT, I was taking up the moulding around the outside of the room that held down the carpet, and yes! UNDERNEATH the moulding were two shiny pennies, side by side.
I looked at them as tears welled up in my eyes. I simply said, “I love you, Mom.” And I missed her all over again. I now know that these pennies were a sign.
I recently ( on Feb. 12, 2012) had written about the 1909 S VDB penny.
Last night or if you want ot say early this morning, while I lay awake I kept smelling “pockets of sweet air” like sweet apples or an apple purfume. The smell is really hard to explain and it was very strong.
I had no idea where this scent was coming from. It was a smell that I had never experienced before. HOWEVER everytime I would smell it I thought of my mother. I laid there for hours, awake and to lazy to get up to see where the smell was coming from. Finally the smell just was not there any longer.
At 8:00 AM I decided to search the Internet to see if this could be possibly be connected to my mother. I did find that sweet smells are frequently associated with spirts.
I don’t know for sure if this was my mother returning or sending me a message but I would like to think so.
You would think a smell that strong would stay for days or even weeks but It is gone without a trace in a matter of minutes. If it was my mother, I hope she comes back again.
I was told about ” Pennies from heaven ” when I was really young. I find pennies everywhere I go, and in places I wouldn’t think I would find them. I am atheist, So I do not believe in angels. But if I do have one that has been leaving me pennies for years now, I am unsure who it could be. This has started from the time I was about 12 or so, and I am now 31. I don’t understand why I keep finding them or who this so called angel could be. For the longest time, I thought I would get good luck from them, So I would pick them up and keep them. A few months ago I stopped picking them up and I would leave them, But by me doing so, I would find more of them, So I started picking them up again. I think it is kind of cute, and when I do find them, If I am with someone I tell them the story, cause I have found out that most people do not know about pennies from heaven. Maybe someday I will believe in angels, and then I will know who left me all of them pennies over the years. But for now I will just keep picking them up and keeping them, as I think it gives me good luck. I loved reading all of the stories on here, my heart goes out to everyone that has lost someone that is close to them <3

My 37 year old sister passed away on April 1, 2012. She was batteling Stage IV ovarian cancer. I was putting away groceries. I heard something hit the floor. I thought my earring fell out and it hit the floor. I wasn’t wearing earrings. It was a penny spinning on the floor. I read these blogs and realized it was a penny from heaven. It wasn’t dropped change because I didn’t have any pockets. My mother also passed away from cancer when she was 52. I feel releaved that my sister sent me a message to let me know she is ok. She has been reunited with our mother again. I am so happy I found this web site. The penny has given me hope.
I have been very conflicted about my job situation. This morning at 6:00 a.m. I sat down at the kitchen table and wrote up the Pros and Cons as fast as I could without thinking about it in too much detail. The Cons list was much longer than the Pros. I was taking a shower a little while later still doubting my pros/cons list when all of a sudden I felt something hit my head and fall on the shower floor. I looked down and it was a penny. I looked up to the ceiling and said, “I understand now. Thank you.” An hour later I still have chills and an awesome feeling. Something special happened to me and I will embrace it.
