Title: Smallest coin you will pick up on the street? penny, nickel, quarter?
Post by: AdamH1978 on July 24, 2011, 06:54:03 pm
I used to pick up pennies if I saw them on the street, store, wherever, but not anymore.  I'm not rolling in dough, but I'm not desperate either.  The trade off of unknown germs isn't worth the reward of 1 cent these days.  When I was a kid, and I'm only 33, I could buy designated penny candy from the local convenience store so a penny was worth something to me.  I usually won't bother unless it's a dime or above, how many germs can be on a dime? :P

A penny ...a peso whatever :)  A penny saved is a penny earned.
As for the germs, all money has that but if you really don't want that hundred I can find a good place for it. ;D

I'd rather earn my pennies on this site than pick one of the ground, outside of my house of course.  I'm constantly picking up pennies and other change off my floor so they don't get sucked up in the vacuum.  As for the 100 me and Benjamin had a lot of fun hanging out while it lasted.  Keep me in mind for all those pennies your earning.  I'll give you my paypal account address. :)

if I see any one, I will pick it up. so I can save them, cos when in the store, even if there is one penny,you have to pay, I know that is not much. but for me, we should save even one penny since there are many people who doesn't even have food to eat, if each of us save one penny and donate it then the population of USA, gather all, it would reach more than 300 Million cents,30 million dime, 3 million dollars

I don't care what it is whether it's a penny to a quarter, as long as it is US currency, I'll pick it up! As for it not worth it, today, I found coins that added up to 29 cents! 29 cents that didn't have just landed in my pockets. Germs, are every where that's way you bring pack of wipes with when you go out. We Americans are too over medicated anyway. How can our bodies develop immunity to the viruses & disease when we stop the process by taking that drug, or getting that flu shots. You know what's dirtier than a penny off the ground? Lip locking with your love one doing the french. I don't care how much you brush or gargle, there still be trillions of germs & viruses living & breeding in your mouth. So, my thing is see a penny pick it up, you get free change, some physical exercise no costly membership required, exercise your immune system no shot or doctor visit required. It' a win - win  deal! :thumbsup: :wave:

It is amazing how many pennies and other coins I find in the Walmart parking lot. It is also amazing how fast it adds up. It is sort of like doing the dailys on Fusion Cash. It amounts to about $10.00 a month. As I said "AMAZING". ;D

A penny saved is a penny earned and I will always stoop to pick up a penny. I will even pick up a Euro which is worth even less on aforeign exchange rate at about 7/8s of a cent. I will pick up an aluminum can worth 3/4s of a cent.  They say that it costs Bill Gates two hundred dollars to stop and pick up a one hundred dollar bill but I am not in that league andjust scrambling to give my children every monetary opportunity available which is why I post here.

If I see it I will pick it up it does not matter what it is I always pick it up My mother always use to pick up pennies and any thing else that was laying around She had a jar that she would put the pennies in and we kids there are nine of us would get to spend it mostly on ice cream in the summer Funny how one little comment triggers a found memory

I hardly ever see any kind of money at all on the street... but I'd pick up anything I guess... and I too miss penny candy, I'm younger though so I'd bet your penny candies were better.  I only remember flavored tootsie rolls, and them really hard PAL bubble gums ever being a penny.

I will bend down and pick up a penny, it may take a while so that I can get a cup of coffee, but they do add up!  I am amazed at how many people just throw them away.  Our bank will count them for you (free) and deposit the money or give you the cash.  I am surprised that most banks don't want the coins wrapped, they want to count the money.

Money is money ... no shame in my game I would pick them all up.
As far as the germs, from picking up a coin, statement doesn't make sense.
Think about all the handling the coins in the cash register or bank for that matter.
They are not sterile.
Free standing money out in the elements is probably cleaner than the ones that are
handled all over the place ...

Only If It's heads up!(for a penny that is)
A nickel or quarter might be worth saving >.<

I once found a 50$ bill in the bathroom, I was only like 9
I was smart though, I asked everyone in the bathroom if they dropped/lost any money, If they said yes I would make them tell me how much they lost. Everyone said  they didn't, So I Split it with my brother xP

I'm willing to pick up any money off the ground even if its just a penny. I work at a popular store in my area and I find all kind of money. Sometimes, people will give me a dollar. Then, I usually find pennies, quarters, nickels, and dimes. One day I found 50 cents on top of a garbage can out front. I took it when no one is paying any attention LOL.

I pick up pennies.  I'll pick up ANY amount.  The largest amount I've ever found was a $20 coming out of a grocery store.

My parents used to put all found money in a large pickle jar and each year they would put it in a special savings account.  They would pick up any amount too, and all those pennies were rolled and put in the account.

Another thing I like about pennies is that I KEEP ALL of the older "wheat" pennies.  Coin collectors will give $$$ for those.

I've really only ever bothered to pick up silver change. I see pennies a lot, but I get so darn tired of having so many pennies that I don't want to drag home more.

I don't pick up any coins on the street at all. One thing germ-wise it's very dangerous. I also understand that people who practice the dark arts put hexes and jinxes and curses on coins and throw them at crossroads. It's a shame but something so innocent as picking up a coin can cause so much grief. It's just not worth it.
