It is superstitious belief that finding dimes is a message of peace and comfort from departed loved ones. There are several beliefs on the significance behind this. A dime is worth 10 cents, 10 being the beginning and end of a set of numbers, possibly signifying a transition. It is even said that finding change signifies change to come in one's life.
January 13, 2018 - I looked up the significance of finding dimes due to the fact that after January 13, 2013, I began finding dimes. On this day, our grandmother left this earth. We were so close and I feel her love every day. The dimes on my path, I know, are a gift from her, letting me know everything is going to be okay, to always remember her and to let me know she loves me and is always with me. One day last year, I went in for a routine mammogram. That day they discovered a lump in my left breast and shared with me that I would need to have surgery to have it removed and a biopsy. I was stunned. I was in shock. Somehow I found my way down the elevator and out to the valet stand. As I stood waiting for my car to pull around and trying to hold it together, a breeze blew and I looked down at my feet. There were three dimes literally at my feet. Not lost on me in those moments that I'm not sure if was breathing, that my sweet grandmother, a breast cancer survivor, had weathered the same with humor and grace. In that moment, I knew that I too could deal with this and whatever was in front of me. If I was ever experiencing a moment where a boost of strength, love and reassurance was needed. Three dimes. At my feet.
