It's my pleasure to welcome you to today's topic: finding dimes. I continue to see them everywhere and anywhere when I need a lift. I'll be sharing some background, a history in which finding dimes is quite common across all cultures worldwide.
What's curious is their timely arrival, often at a time that holds meaning for the person finding the dime and the connection to something quite significant.
Science often dismisses dimes appearing out of thin air, but for many who recount their personal stories, the findings defy reality or rational thinking.
"I've heard finding dimes is a sign of good luck," a friend commented.
Many who have found a dime or a collection of dimes have felt a deep connection to a loved one who has passed to the spirit world. Even seeing one on a particular day, time, or when deep in thought about a loved one is very common. These aren't rare occurrences. They seem to be timed in a particular manner. A coincidence aligned with a loved one, or to catch our attention when feeling alone during a difficult time.
Many people believe that if you find a dime in an unexpected place, someone who has passed away sends a message of love and support.
I recall finding pennies here and there as a child, or even a rare twenty-five-cent coin. The experience always felt like I'd won the lottery. I'd usually add them to my savings in a ceramic piggy bank my mother had bought me to help me save for a rainy day or a special purpose.
Later in life, and even after my mother's passing in 2003, I began to find more and more dimes. It was peculiar to experience as they were often found in places I'd already crossed. The incidents seemed to happen more frequently, and I began to correlate their findings with something I had been thinking about, thoughts of my mother, or needing a solution to a particular issue at hand. The coincidences felt synchronistic and I began to sense their meaning. It's as if these little miracles answered my call and desire for help.
Have you ever been surprised to find a dime and then another? Were you able to sense or understand how it coincided with a particular date?
The significance of finding dimes and ten-cent coins is an interesting and wonderful phenomenon that carries the meaning of a guiding idea. This could be an answer to a question, or to feel supported in some way, but above all else, a feeling of divine love and even a sense of collective oneness.
Where do these dimes come from?
The idea plays to the outer edges of science and thought as one tries to make sense of the things that don't make sense. However, modern-day physics or quantum physics refers to a level of energy unseen by the naked eye that actively engages with all matter consistently. This field has qualities of love, peace, bliss, creativity, intelligence, and universal energy of oneness.
This can include loved ones in spirit, guides, helpers, inspirers, and this field of oneness that is reachable with a thought or sensed beyond the physical sensing systems: To see, hear, feel, smell, or taste. When you meet someone for the first time, you can feel a sense of deep connection or even be repelled by their energy, animals included. Everyone can send and receive information from this energy field, like a radio tuning to a music station.
Drawing from the principles of the law of energy conservation from the early 1600s, it became established in physics in the 1800s. It states, "Energy can not be destroyed, it changes form." When a loved one passes to the spirit, their energy has changed form. Feeling or knowing a loved one is close by in some way is very real. I've spoken to thousands of clients who get this fact over the years.
When thoughts of a loved one come to mind, there's a connection to this loving field of energy of influence and support, placing dimes on the path to reaffirm this connection. Finding meaning in these divinely timed experiences can be personal, but many are left wondering and pondering other possibilities.
What is the Significance of Finding Dimes?
“I keep getting dimes. What does this mean, Christie?”
This question came up quite a few times in the past month. It was an excellent opportunity to sit down and give some attention, understanding, and possible interpretations. That two people with the exact first name and initial for their last name came forward with questions about finding dimes was also curious. A great time to explore and uncover more about these timely miracles.
Finding a Dime in Time.
What is the significance of finding a coin coinciding with a particular date?
Finding a dime is an interesting experience, especially the date on the coin. Curiosity fills the mind and heart about why this is happening, who's sending it, and what the date represents. These are a few of the questions that arise upon finding a particular coin.
One may or may not recognize the date indicated on the coin. It may be an anniversary, a celebration of life, a birthday, a date of passing, or another date particularly special to the person receiving the coin. Perhaps you've recently thought of a particular person. A connection to the passing of a person or pet. Also, consider the thought of someone alive, too.
Consider looking at the date you find a dime or a particular coin to see if it coincides with a special date you recognize. Perhaps even writing your experiences down, because our recall of some dates sometimes takes longer than we'd like. Our memories are imperfect, and recording connects us to something significant and extraordinary at work that we can learn from and share with those open to the story. Some will be, and some won't. But your experience might open up someone else's awareness at a further point.
I recently found a dime while cleaning out a pot drawer placed way back and behind the drawer in preparation for a move. Now, I've cleaned this area multiple times from time to time to reclaim a top to a pot or wipe up some dust. What's interesting is the timing when I found my dime. Planning, organizing, minimizing, packing, and unpacking can take time and energy. Memories drifted to many moves throughout my life for various reasons, and I also miss my mother, who was always a big help before her passing.
Thoughts of my mother had come up many times for different reasons. I'd ask her questions as if she were nearby and feel her guiding words. Finding this dime in the drawer was significant as it marked the twentieth anniversary of her passing. It was her way of showing me she was with, loving, and supporting me. I call these symbolic wonders a 'hello from beyond,' and some refer to them as 'miracles from heaven'.
Additionally, I found the coin tails side up, which is emblazoned with the infamous Bluenose ship from Nova Scotia in 1979. What is the meaning behind the Bluenose ship marking on the dime and the year 1979? That year, my father, an R.C.M.P. officer, was relocated to Ottawa from Saskatchewan, and we were setting sail towards a new phase in our lives on many fronts. There's a suggestion or interpretation to indicate or direct oneself to steer through all seas, rough or calm, with tenacious courage and optimism.
"Just like an ocean, finding dimes is a symbol of love that reaches us like a wave from the Universe, a loved one, a guiding force to let us know we are not alone." - Christie Flynn
The Placement of the Dime Can Present Additional Insights.
Nowadays, finding a dime or any coin is rare since most people use debit, credit, or alternative payment methods. Finding a coin beside a wallet or cash register doesn't feel random. It makes sense that a dime or coin would be found next to a cash register. I remember seeing a dime beside my car door after returning from the grocery store. It wasn't there when I got out of my car either. The message or insights from an experience can be as simple as someone thinking of you. Who comes to mind when you find a symbol that connects you to a loved one? Whoever it is, within a flash of a thought, trust that it's their little way of letting you know they are with you.

It's essential to take a moment to consider its placement. Where was the coin placed? Was the placement significant in some way to catch your attention? Was it placed in an area you frequently pass, or was it a new area? What were you thinking about before finding the coin? Reflect on different experiences or note when they happen to validate the interconnecting markers of connection.
Last year, I found a dime on the step in the middle of the staircase. I had climbed those steps numerous times that day and never witnessed its presence before. Finding the dime on the stairs instantly correlated with taking steps toward a new opportunity within my field. The date on the dime was marked by the year 1978. I knew exactly what that meant, too, because that's the year my boyfriend was born. Bingo! Another confirmation for me in many ways.
The placement, position, or location can indicate another form of interpretation.
Some may include change is ahead, shifting into a new direction with an open heart and mind.
What does the placement of the dime want you to look at? Follow whatever comes to mind, what you feel, or sense in general. Trust first; write down the experience. The answer sometimes arrives slowly. Surrender and wait for a clue, a solution, and an explanation that feels right for you.
Tail Side Up.
The tail side up for the Canadian ten-cent coin is marked with the famous ship called the Bluenose. Finding the dime with the side up may include new beginnings ahead, a new phase, an adventure awaits, a movement away from experience, celebrating successes, being open to new experiences and opportunities, or letting go and allowing the journey to unfold. Quite literally, to set sail and travel.
Further interpretation can include leading a tighter ship, budget-wise. From a much higher perspective, the soul's journey is in a vast ocean of possibilities. Hands at the helm, leading oneself through storms and smooth waters. Your personal view of the landscape genuinely makes the journey. The open waters await. Lastly, a loved one is close and watching over you. I can also visualize a team of support behind you speaking together in unison and sharing the words, "We have your back."
In my previous story of finding the dime while cleaning the drawer, the 'tail' side was facing upward. This marking signifies a new beginning and adventure ahead. I can hear the words "full steam ahead." I can also see a team working the ship, much like in any relationship or new beginning. It takes a team, a community, and leadership to lead the way on a new course. I can feel an ocean of goodness all around it as well. The marking of the year is 1979.
Finding a Dime - Head Side Up.
The Queen of England is the current symbol or marker on the Canadian ten-cent coin. She is a leader in her own right. The messaging insight could signal to step into leadership, leading the way, or even standing tall to reaffirm confidence. Building confidence takes practice, patience, and courage. It's a time to express/voice leadership qualities and individuality as a pioneer and innovator.
Other possible meanings for finding the dime with the heads side up may also include:
A time to delegate to others to inspire more leaders.
Leading by example, setting the tone, and being a moral compass in a better direction.
To trust intuitions and inner guidance, and to take on the role of a leader even without a title.
More insights may suggest applying strength during this next period of time; a new chapter is about to begin, be open to the senses, and intuitions, a time to express assertiveness, be mindful of thoughts directed in the negative direction, respectfully take authority, too much in the mind - overthinking or overanalyzing a situation or behavior, constantly dwelling on the same thing over and over cluttering the mind with nonsense. To steer the mind toward open waters and challenges as they come up. To navigate through or around the situation, a person, place, or experience.
Finding Dimes in a Series or Sequence
A sequence of finding dimes is an incredibly special one. Here are a few interpretations to consider.
Keep focusing ahead and following the current path.
Be open to curiosity as it drifts in and out.
Be open to different paths, right or left, this way or that way. The path is unfolding as it should.
A team or a crew of support from the unseen world surrounds you. Never underestimate your impact and the power you hold to become whatever you set your sights on.
Take one step ahead. Keeping going. Remember, patience is the acceptance of natural rhythms as they occur. Never underestimate the power of each step or action taken.
Other Possible Insights.
During celebratory situations, the message may include, "Well done, I'm with you, I hear you, or I'm so very proud of you."
During challenging times, it can mean that a loved one or friend is with you, your support team is at your side, and you're not alone. A time to change or shift perspective.
Finding a Dime Can Inspire Curious Wonder About the Unseen World.
To be on the receiving end of a repeating occurrence of something in our physical world helps us feel special. Just like the randomness of a rainbow in the sky, the beauty of the colors in one sunset, or even a shooting star. Even the unlikelihood of a memorable song playing on the radio just as you think of someone, or a dime found on the first step of the stairs you've climbed for the tenth time in one day. These occurrences may bring about a feeling of personal connection to something more.
In all my years in practice, I've encountered many clients from all backgrounds, ages, religions, and cultures who have been on the receiving end of finding a dime. Love bridges this beautiful connection, a communication of the heart, and it's beautiful. For some, perhaps, a quality or feeling of oneness rather than separateness is needed now more than ever.
Can You Ask for a Particular Symbol?
A friend heard about this incredible sighting and wondered if she, too, could receive these special dimes. "Yes, of course," I told her.
"Can I receive dimes too, Christie?"
Whether it's a dime, another coin, or a symbol you prefer, like the owl or a butterfly, set an intention on whatever you choose and then let it go. Be prepared for the selected symbol to appear on your path at some point in time. Note current events, thoughts, or inquiries when they happen.
I want to take a moment to share a gentle reminder to put down the phone or any technology and get out into the outdoors, where nature nurtures the soul and a deeper connection to the magical wonders of the world, seen and unseen. Early morning, a break in the day, or just before bedtime are great times to open up the senses and allow awareness to unfold over time or time to just be.
Closing Message From Christie.
Welcome to the community here if you're new and thank you for joining.
Never underestimate the power of your team of light and loved ones. When you find a random coin or notice something quite rare, trust the feeling behind it, who it's from, and why you're receiving it.
