'Found money' is frugal family's hobby

The Staten Island family of four is a reminder that "every penny counts" by keeping a constant eye out for other people's lost money.
Braving blustery winter winds and frigid Northeast temperatures, mom Barbara and dad Scott take their two daughters to scour a dreary Staten Island parking lot.

"It's not so much that we need the money," Barbara said, "it's to show an example to our children. The more change you see, that penny becomes 99 more, and it becomes a dollar."

"With the economy the way it is right now, it's important that they realize Dad is not this endless tap of cash," added Scott, a U.S. Army career counselor.
