You have 20/20 vision if you can spot the dirty dime hiding among the pennies – people say it’s ‘harder than I expected’
TEST your eyesight in a mind-boggling brainteaser that is harder than you think.
Everyone can see the group of pennies in the optical illusion, but there is a dirty dime cleverly concealed in the visual.
Reddit user Throw_Away_Acnt594 shared an illusion made by their six-year-old daughter on the platform.
In the post, you can see a group of pennies tossed on a rocky surface.
The Redditor challenged readers to “find the dime” among the display of money.
Within the scene, it is perfectly hidden in plain sight because it is dirty and blends in with its surroundings.
“Found it. It’s right next to the penny,” someone joked.
How quickly do you think you could spot it?
You may have 20/20 vision if you can find it within a decent time frame.
Set your timer now and see how long it takes you.
Many Reddit users agreed that it wasn’t an easy task.
“Found it but honestly it was harder than I expected,” one commented.
“Just the fact that it wasn’t in the center made it harder than most of them,” another said.
“Your six-year-old has me stumped,” someone else admitted.
If it took you longer than expected to catch a glimpse of it, don’t worry.
The answer is directly below and circled in red.
The dime is located to the far left near the middle of the frame.
A Redditor gave a “verbal treasure map of where to spot it in the photo.
“Far left, under the 3 Pennie’s making a line outward to the “Northwest”. Dime is dirty/rusty; under a penny tail-side up,” they wrote.
The tail-side-up penny has a shield on it instead of the Lincoln Memorial.
