Would you pick up 5c off the street?

Last_Minute · 27-10-2014 04:09PM

How do these coins get on the ground in the first place is the question?

I don't even wait for my change if it less than 5c, thats when someone is literally handing it to you. Forget picking something up off the dirty ground. Plebs.

Yes I would pick up coins, copper and all.

Last year I saved all my change in two big jars. When I counted it up I had over €1000. Those pennies add up, people!

I'd pick up any coin. As they say every little helps:)

I believe it to be bad luck to leave the poor 1 and 2c coins lying there to be trampled on

Tail Docker · 27-10-2014 05:11PM

Walking past money, even 1c, is bad luck. I pick em up, spit on them and throw them at homeless people. The look on their faces when they ping off their foreheads is priceless.

I don't, I put em in my pocket..walking past money is bad luck - treasure the little gifts, the biggies follow...

If you believe walking past coppers will have somehow have an impact on other parts your life, you are delusion

Find a penny pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck! :-) That was the rhyme on my little saving coin box when I was little!

Lol, I was just about to post that. My Granny used to say it to us all the time.

5 cent and 5 cent makes 10 cent etc etc. It's all money at the end of the day. Waste not, want not.

Do you pick it up to count and make sure, then throw away if less, or have you developed a gimlet eye for counting loose change?

The_Valeyard · 27-10-2014 08:39PM

I'd I've to check with my monacle first.

Pennies make the pound.

Paco Rodriguez · 27-10-2014 08:51PM

I never pick up money...not even notes. I consider it bad luck to spend money that someone who earned it lost.

I throw fistfuls of them around on my day off. I like to bring a little joy to the underclasses!

To be fair, Bill Gates makes $29,000 in the time it takes him to bend a knee, so the net profit is only $1k. Hardly seems worth it.

find a penny, pick it up, and all day it will bring you luck

Heisenberg88 · 27-10-2014 09:01PM

Depends, if its coppers I usually pick up a nurse.

How does the rest of it go?

'See a penny, leave it down and all that day you'll wear a frown'

Something like that anyway

Jagdtiger · 27-10-2014 09:09PM

I picked up a farthing from 1806 once. So to answer your question, I would pick up money of absolutely no monetary value what so ever...

I heard he also used to clean windows.

ShadowHearth · 27-10-2014 10:15PM

I would pick up any coin. It's not about monetary value of it, I just see it as a sign of good luck.
I found 2 eu coin few days ago and I keep it in my jeans pocket. Somehow I can't push myself to spend it. I know, I am a dork.

FullblownRose · 28-10-2014 03:06AM

There always seems to be somebody standing right up my you know what if i see money on the ground. I am always in a hurry. Otherwise I would pick it up regardless of the denoimnation.
