Why Do I Keep Finding Dimes? Could It Be More Than a Coin?
Have you ever found a dime in an unexpected place and wondered how it got there?
Not in your purse. Not in your pocket. Not somewhere that would make sense, but somewhere that would make you pause or make you wonder.
I was walking through the Mark's Work Warehouse parking lot with my friend Sarah.
She was about to head off on a trip to the Bahamas, and she needed a new swimsuit that actually fit and made her feel good. I was there to ensure it happened.
She was just in the middle of telling another one of her dime stories when I noticed a blazing light about ten feet ahead of me, coming from a small crack in the cement.
My immediate thought was, I hope it's a dime!
I may have run over to it like a kid in a candy shop. I knelt down, and there it was, this tiny metal object. I held it up in the air like a superhero and declared that it was, in fact, a dime.
Sarah raced over and we jumped for joy together.
"You got one, Christie!" she squealed.
"I did, I did!" I declared with pride.
The timing was impeccable. I'd had the thought that very morning that it had been a while since I found a dime. Synchronicity. Divine timing. A dime just in the nick of time.
I know it's just a regular dime. But to me, and to Sarah, it's not just a dime.
Dimes are powerful.
Have you found your dime?
How It All Started
Signs from our loved ones.
On February 4th, 2003, I was standing in my mom's house in Ottawa when I received an alert. It wasn't an alert on my phone. This was different. I had a feeling.
"I have to take you to the hospital, Mom. Something's up with you and we need to get you checked out," I declared out loud.
"Okay," she said.
I was surprised because we were just in the middle of moving to our new home together. I expected her to give me some push back but she felt something wasn't quite right too.
Within a few days, my mom was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage four.
After a short but valiant battle, she passed to spirit, shortly after my sister and brother had flown in from out of town.
In my heart, I also knew she waited for them to arrive.
The Patterns and Signs
Signs, Signals and Synchronicities.
A week after her passing, we organized a celebration of life with everyone who knew her. The house was filled with friends. It was 5pm and I was standing at the edge of our property, seconds away from bawling.
I looked left, right where I usually see airplanes lining up for the airport nearby. This time, I saw a flock of geese in formation.
It was like a scene out of the movies. The geese flew through my street from one end to the other. They were so close I could almost touch them.
I knew in that moment it was my mom, with our family in spirit.
More of the unusual began to show up. Some may call it weird or "paranormal." I prefer to call it "super-natural."
I was hovering over the kitchen sink washing dishes when a red bird landed on the windowsill and peered through the window, almost human-like. I couldn't help but acknowledge it was my mom.
Then came the monarch butterflies, the dragonflies, the birds and the repeating numbers too.
These strange happenings were no longer strange. They were clear "hellos."
I knew what it meant. I knew who it was. I knew why it was happening.
The First Dime
I was never looking for a dime.
What happens when you notice something odd or out of the ordinary for the first time? You mentally make note of it.
I was never looking for a dime. I had simply noticed patterns. Little things that seemed to repeat, moments that made me stop and pause.
Then I made the difficult decision to leave a relationship and divorce. Stress began to mount for a variety of reasons. I was trying to make things as comfortable as possible for everyone, and there were moments when I felt alone.
That's when the dimes started to appear.
I remember my first dime like it was yesterday. It wasn't in my purse or my wallet, or by the cash register at the grocery store. It was on the corner of my night table.
I immediately thanked my mom. "I needed that. Thank you, Mom."
But it didn't end there. More started showing up out of the blue.
I found one in the washing machine.
I found one on the car floor mat.
I found one in the parking lot at my gym, right beside my car.
I found one in the sink shortly after I'd cleaned the dishes.
I even found one halfway up the staircase, after I'd climbed those stairs multiple times that day.
Dimes During Client Readings
Dimes began appearing in my work too, during client readings, like many other symbols, signs and signals. I'd explore memories, key places and dates. But as soon as I mentioned the word dime, their eyes would light up.
During one video call, a client jumped up as soon as I started to say, "He sends you dimes and..."
"Omg! I can't believe you just said that. I get them all the time. I have to show you something."
Off she ran. She came back with a zip loc bag full of dimes.
"And it's only been six months!" she said.

Finding a dime when I needed it most comforted me in ways I can't describe. I didn't know this was a common sign from a loved one until years later.
If you found a dime, what happened just before you found it?
A friend found a dime on the anniversary of her father's death. A close family member found one on the windowsill days after his wife passed. A client found one on the truck mat.
I asked a family member if she had a story to share. This is what she had to say:
"We know all about dimes from heaven…….! When one of our friends died of myeloma, the next morning after Brent died, his wife was in the kitchen and on the window, ledge was one dime, she swears it wasn’t there the night before! Ever since then we will find a dimes in the strangest places, floor mat of the truck, driveway, dimes in the snow, on the ground in a grocery store, at the gym. We know this means that someone we loved is showing us a sign they are with us. Pretty amazing stuff!!"
Some people see dimes as signs from loved ones. Others see them as meaningful coincidences, or reminders of someone they miss.
A dime can be a signal or a confirmation:
A loved one is with you.
You're on the right track. You're moving in the right direction.
You're supported by the Universe (also known as Source, Collective Consciousness or God Source, to list a few names).
You're going to be okay. You're surrounded by love and loving guidance.
You need to pay attention. You need to make a decision, or start doing the thing that will change your life.
You're being guided to consider the idea or insight that keeps repeating and returning, the one you keep ignoring.
Who Is Sending You Dimes?
A loved one. Many loved ones. A pet companion. Your guides. The Collective Consciousness.
Pay attention to whoever pops into your mind when you consider that question.
Who do you picture? Who do you see? Whose voice do you hear? What memories do you begin to think of? Let yourself explore. Be curious and open.
Dimes have a way of connecting us to someone, something, or some possibility. They make us feel that someone cares, that something good is just around the corner, or that it's time to pay attention.
Sometimes the greatest discoveries happen when we stop trying to prove something, let go of expectations and remain open to what life may be showing us. - Christie Flynn
The Significance of the number 10
The story of numbers.
The number ten brings together the energies of the number one and zero, each holding its own symbolism.
The number one represents individuality, independence, courage, leadership and new beginnings. It speaks to our personal strength, the ability to trust ourselves, take initiative and find the confidence to move forward.
It reminds us that we have our own path to walk, our own voice to discover, and the power to become an example through the way we live.
The number zero represents the unknown, the infinite, and the possibilities that exist beyond what we can see or understand. It invites us to release the need to control, to sit with uncertainty, to listen rather than demand answers, and to trust that there is always more to discover.
Together, they represent the relationship between the known and the unknown.
It's a reminder that while we have the strength to lead our own lives, we don't have to have every answer. Sometimes the greatest discoveries happen when we stop trying to prove something, let go of expectations and remain open to what life may be showing us.
So the next time you find a dime, perhaps consider the number 10 or the year stamped on the coin.
Trust yourself. Be courageous enough to start. Stay open to the unknown.
"Sometimes, it's not the object itself that matters. It's the moment, the memory and the meaning we attach to it." - Christie Flynn
Perhaps that's part of the beauty of finding a dime. It doesn't have to give us an answer. Sometimes it simply gives us a reason to pause and pay attention.
So tell me, where was the most unexpected place you've ever found a dime?
Let me know, I'd love to read your story.
Please consider that if you haven't found a dime, another pattern, signal, or symbol of happening is taking place. If you recognize it and know what it is, trust in your own knowing.
