    Id pick up a penny, but probably wouldn't bother for a two or five cent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭Busted Flat.


    If it was less than a ten cent coin if that was possible, I would pick it up. Wait till you see when they decide to get rid of the one cent coin where will prices go will it go €9.98. Think back with the currency changes over the years, did the customer benefit, like fook they did.

    I'll pick up any coin. I feel it's bad luck to pass it...

    Same. There's no luck in a 2 or 5

    This got me thinking.
    If you walked around a city for two hours looking for lost change I wonder how much you would find?
    I used to go around the nightclub when I was younger at the end of the night picking up lost money before the floor staff got there with there brushes.
    Found a fair bit has to be said; enough for a curry snack box some nights, I even gound a twenty POUND note thats like 50 in todays money

    When I was in school there was a teacher who would pick up any coin he'd seen.The students caught on and when they saw him coming they'd throw a few coins on the ground and watch laughing while he picked them up. Off he'd stroll with the smuggest fcuking grin on his face, with a pocket full of coins that were just after being in between the cheeks of the laughing students arses.
    He had his coin picking technique off to a fine art, such grace and effortlessness,I can only assume he knew where those coins had been but as far as he was concerned he was quids in.
