...The other day I was following a guy out of a grocery store and he dropped all of the pennies he had on the ground. Made me wonder if he was trying to help the needy or maybe he just did not like carrying some much change.
...What do you think? I have a friend who thinks it is lucky to find a penny, heads up.
...Peace be with you. :) Della

I'd pick them up unless it was dangerous to do so. I used to pick up all the pennies I found on the ground to save for the kids to use at the fair. It's much more expensive now but I still hate to see people be so wasteful.
-
You are asking us if we would stop to pick up a penny? We click for pennies and love it!!!!!!! Yes, I would stop to pick up a penny.
-
Hell yeah. Money is money. I pick up pennies all the time.
-
Yes ! With the economy we'er in right now, every penny counts.
-
You bet - a penny is a penny :D
-
Yes of course. And if you pick up enough of them you can still get a penny piece of gum but it is probably gonna cost you a quarter.
-
yes, like skrogman said we pick em up every time when on fusion cash.
-

I think he was sustiticion
-
I spent 30 years selling computers to car dealers and I know the salesmen throw pennies out on the lot all the time as a superstitious activity to bring them good ups.
-
Yes I would because maybe I would have some good luck after that.
-
Sure i would, ah penny saved is a penny earned! :icon_rr:
-
Worth every Penny!
Yes I pick up pennies! Pennies add up to dollar's! 100 pennies = $1.00! Save your pennies for a rainy day! :thumbsup:
-

And more to the point, Three Hundred Thousand Pennies is THREE GRAND. :heart: 8)
-
My Kids laugh at me because I always will pick up pennies or whatever coins I find on the ground, I figure I may as well get them, they all add up in time, especially when you put all your change in a jar!
-
I welcome all pennies, I believe money is money regardless of the form it takes. I know a lot of guys mostly who throw away pennies. I think about it like this before you get to a dollar you have to start with a penny :D
-
Before, I used to pass them by when I would see one on the ground, thinking "It's only a penny." But my mindset has changed about money, so I would absolutely pick one up now. I look at it as a thrill because I never know what I might find when I'm out and about.
-
Heads or tails it's another penny in my pocket so it's always lucky.
-
I would. I need the money....
-
If it was a wheat penny I sure would :)
-
Ten years ago I was the guy tossing change in the parking lot. Today I'm the one picking it up trying to get it back. :P
-
If you picked up a penny every time you found one you would be shocked how much money you can save. Keep them in a jar and see how much you would have in a year.
-
Always do. Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck. :) :) :)
-
Yes! I pick up every penny I see. The kids think I am silly, but I know that even the lowly penny adds up!
-
Yes I would. They add up quickly over time and that's free money.
-
Yes I would pick it up. Just participating on Fusion Cash shows that we all realize pennies add up.
-
I don't pick up pennies unless they are many..
-
I pick up pennies any time I see one. Once bent over to pick up a penny and a few feet in front of me was $20.
-
When I was a kid I used to pick up penny's because I thought it would give me good luck. When I became a adult I stop believing it and I don't pick them up anymore.
-
The old saying "A penny saved is a penny earned" is absolutely true. Maybe more now than when the phrase was 'coined.' ;)
-
Yes I'd pick up a penny. I still remember the days of penny candy and such!
-
On Good Morning America the other day the had a story about A Milford, Mass., man who saved his pennies to pay off his mortgage--literally. He carted more than 62,000 pennies to the bank to make his last payment. He saved them for 35 years.
-
I would, but it would depend where the penny was.
-
yes I do, in this economy money is money, sometimes I wonder if the cooper in it is worth more the the penny is
-
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't but I don't think they use copper for pennies anymore.
-
Sometimes I do. My sister will pickup ones that are tails and turn them heads up so it makes someone elses day - pretty awesome of her :wave:
-
Yes I would pick up penny coz money is money. When Im with my mom n when I see changes on da ground she said only poor people do that but I don't care I still pick it up.
-
Yes I would pick up a penny because it would be a sign of good luck. I was told that by my father who was 77 when he passed. My Father always told me that when you find money on the ground is a sign of goodluck. :thumbsup: :angel12:
-
i pick up change if i see it on the ground, doesnt make a difference what kind of coin it is
-
I've heard the whole "heads up penny is good luck"...what about if it landed tails up but somebody flipped it? Anyway, yeah, I tend to pick up money if I see it, without being too obvious....to be fair though, I try to donate as much of it as I can, since I feel bad that it's not really mine
-
I would always pick up a penny mostly because it says "in God We Trust."
-
I will always stop to pick up a penny. we then put in a special jar, and usually find enough pennies to amount to a bit of money.
-
I like to think it will give me some good luck for that day and plus it is still moeny.. ;D
-
I picked up 2 yesterday in 2 different parking lots.
-
depends on where im at but i would defintly if it was a nickel :dog:
-
sometimes
-
I would stop to pick up a penny if it wasn't buried down in something yucky!
-
I picked up a penny today at work. nothing better than getting paid to pick up money.
-
I always pick up pennies or change I see....I'm not too proud b/c I'm not too rich, LOL
-
I always pick up pennies and any other change
-
My dad always said that if you find money laying on the ground, it is a sign of good things to come. If you pick it up, that is. It's kinda not smart to leave a freebie lying around. That's why I like this site so much!
-
Sometimes, if it's in a clean environment, then yeah. But if it's not, I'm not going to pick it up.
-
i guess the luck part is that you found a penny lol, but i would pick it up to put in my nephews bank :)
-
You are asking us if we would stop to pick up a penny? We click for pennies and love it!!!!!!! Yes, I would stop to pick up a penny.
I agree, remember who you're asking. ;D
Pennies can also be signs from loved ones who have passed on. My dad sends me pennies, and sometimes other coins, all the time. :heart:
-
I might if the mood struck me. They say it is luck. If I was in that frame of mind, I would pick it up, hoping for good luck :wave:
-
I still pick up pennies. I don't care if people think it is weird or stupid or if I look needy or what. It all adds up... it's quicker to pick that up than to do the 2 cent email on here...
-
...The other day I was following a guy out of a grocery store and he dropped all of the pennies he had on the ground. Made me wonder if he was trying to help the needy or maybe he just did not like carrying some much change.
...What do you think? I have a friend who thinks it is lucky to find a penny, heads up.
...Peace be with you. :) Della
I absolutely stop to pick up a penny. It's an opportunity to express gratitude for every cent that comes my way! :heart:
-
Only if the penny was heads up and looking shiny! But I prefer to pick up a quarter.
-
Yes, I pick up pennies. You never know it could be a real old penny worth more then just 1 cent.
-
Picking up a penny is not worth your time. Change is annoying, so I don't blame the guy for spilling his pennies.
-
yes, my son loves pennies for his piggy bank.
-
yes i collect pennies
-
For sure! I pick up pennies and put it in a special penny-pig-jar.....one day when it's full, I'll cash in and marvel at my windfall!
-
yes. I do it all the time.
-
Yes. I'll pick up he penny.
-
I was at the self checkout at the grocery store and when I bent down to get my change I found a penny on the floor. Made me wonder how much change gets lost under the self checkout machine. ;)
-
I pick up money all the time but left a shiny penny the other day because my arms were full and I was surrounded by people. If my arms hadn't been full where I would have dropped something, I would have snagged that penny!
-
I would stop to pick up a penny because my dad always told me that it is lucky to pick up a penny on heads and put it in yopur right pocket. :)
-
If I had my grandson he would get it before me.
-
Ummm, no...but I would pick up a nickel.
-
I sure would!! I know a person that used to collect pennies and one of his pennies were so rare that he sold it to a collector for $500. You never know what people would throw away and for some reason pennies are one of the things people do not hold on to. You never know, you could find a gold mine in one penny.

HAHAHA!!! That is sooo true! ;D I always pick up pennies.
-
I might not have before but I would now. Fusion has made me respect the penny a whole lot more. ;D
-
because it is money, I like when I find pennies.
-
If it was heads, definitely. I'll usually pocket it and toss it into the fountain on my way home.
-
Yes, every cent adds up.
-
If I see a penny on the ground I pick it up. I save all my change at the end of the day and put it in a can. When I have enough I roll it and take it to the bank when I have enough. One year I saved enough change for a vacation to Fla. It adds up in a years time and then you have a lot of money. I took $45 worth of pennys to the bank to pay for my lock box there. May God Bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
I do pick up pennies whenever I see them. However, we have people walking the streets every day, so I don't really have much of a chance. I don't like to see them left so people walk on them as they say "In God We Trust".
-
"find a penny, pick it up, through the day you'll have good luck" this was a phrase in a TV sitcom. does anyone remember which show it came from. I do and I didn't look it up!
if you know the answer post it. if you had to look it up tell us. there is no shame in looking things up, just shows how resourcefull you are.
Good Luck!!
-
My daughter bought me a change bank that keeps track of the money I put in. It is full of the pennies I pick up. I have almost 100.00 since Christmas.
-
LOL fc gives you some so yes i get them
-
If you are using Fusion Cash - you ARE picking up pennies.
This program provides a simple way of collecting online pennies.... I love it.
And YES, I pick up the tangible kind, as well.
-
Yes, Yes! I would stop to pick up a penny. Sometimes it is hard because of my nails. :) But I try anyway.
-
...The other day I was following a guy out of a grocery store and he dropped all of the pennies he had on the ground. Made me wonder if he was trying to help the needy or maybe he just did not like carrying some much change.

...Peace be with you. :) Della
i would keep it unless the person who dropped it was there & then i would give it back 2 them not 2 meny people would do that
-
I always stop and pick them up, and if they are tails, I flip them over and step on them and pick them up. money is money.
-

Good Luck!!
well I had to look it up, google says grey's anatomy, but I've heard that saying as long as I can remember(thirty odd years) so I'd say they just stole it from popular sayings.
-
For good luck of course, not to mention a penny saved is a penny earned.
-
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. My 7 year old son finds them and picks them up all the time.
-
I wouldn't stop to pick up a penny, but I would click on FC survey because I'm guaranteed a penny (it will be all that I make on that click. lol)
-
I usually do
-
I spend an hour a day on point to clicks for pennies...I would certainly stop to pick up a penny. I'll even stop to pick up an aluminum can which is the equivalent of a penny and taks extra work(squashing it and taking it to the recycling yard). I have heard that it costs Bill Gates (Microsoft inventor) a thousand dollars to take time out of his schedule to bend over and pick up a oe hundred dollar bill. I wonder if he does it. I also wonder if it brings him good luck if Benjamin Franklin's face is facing up? I cherish every cent I can get!
-
I didn't pick up pennies until I saw a guy on the news who paid his last mortgage payment with pennies. If that's not an inspiration!Now I'm starting to pay attention to pennies on the ground!
-
I pick up pennies and I do not spend change. I started that about 15 years ago. If you go to the store to buy something and it is 3.50, give the $4 and get the change. Don't give 50 cents. Keep it all, then deposit it into a savings account. It was the only savings I was earning and I couldn't believe how fast it added up! You will not miss the 50 cents at the moment, but you will enjoy the outcome of never spending (and always picking up!) change!
-
I do all the time when I see them laying on the ground, i grab them all. I penny saved is a penny earned
-
I always pick up pennies. Look at what we do on here for a penny. So having to just bend over to pick one up is a no brainer! LOL
-
I pick up pennies. Hey, its money!
-
I DO IF THEY ARE HEADS UP. MY SON PICKED UP A QUATER AND IT WAS TAILS UP AND 2 DAYS LATER HE BROKE HIS LEG. I TOLD HIM NEVER PICK UP ANY CHANGE THAT IS TAILS UP. IT MAY BE A OLD WIVES TALE BUT I STILL GO BY IT.
-
I always pick up penny's they sure do add up, and I love thought of them being too, Pennies from heaven :)
-
After being on fusion cash you bet I pick a penny up!
-
I always do. Like other people here have said, we click on here all the time just for a penny or two, why not get a penny from the ground? Usually I show it to one of my kids and they pick it up and keep it. If I'm by myself, I put it in my jar and save it. I am a waitress and all the change I make, I put in a jar. I keep all of my change I make and never spend it. When times get rough, I take it out and use it. I started collecting in Jan this year and had almost $300 by June. I used it to help with the down payment on my truck. Last year I started collecting in Sept. and had $250 and used it to help with Christmas presents. Pennies do add up!
-
Yes, I stop to pick up pennies, if its not hazardous to my health.
-
;D Yes, I pick up pennies all the time. I put them in a big popcorn can along with all my nickels for for my granddaughters college fund. She's three years old and I started saving for her a week after she was born. At last count it was up to about $250.00.
-
pick them up all the time . And its what im doing on fc, a penny at a time.
-
Sure do,it all adds up for spending :)
-
Picked up three just today. From little pennies mighty dollars grow. :-X ;)
-
Yes at first i was thinking not worth the germs but on nightline the other night they were saying the price of a penny before i think 1980 are actually worth 2.4 pennies because the price of copper is going up yes still not a lot profit if only a few pennies but if you have a lot it will add up...
-
most people do, lucky penny
-
Yes I would, I have a Jar full of pennys! :)
-
Absolutely! As a matter of fact I did it just yesterday I mean it may not be much but its free money and pennies do add up. Last week I even found a $20 bill in a parking lot now I know everyone would stop and pick that up.
-
I would stop to pick up a penny sure. as long as i wouldn't get hurt doing it, you never know, but i'm sure it usually is safe to pick it up.
-
I would pick them up. Although there have been times when I left a coin on the ground because foot traffic or it rolled under something and would have been difficult to get.
-
most definitely i just picked up a couple while walking yesterday. a penny is equal to 1 cent, cents can add up to dollars, doesnt that make sense? get it cents/sense. lol :binkybaby:
-
Yes. Ive saved up money before that i would have overlooked an couldn;t believe how much it added up to
-
I agree if its safe to do so do it. Every penny counts these days
-
Yup I always do. I believe in good luck heads-up pennies too lol, but it doesnt stop me from picking up tails-up ones. They really add up; I have nearly a piggy bank full of pennies i found on the ground now!
-
I have noticed that the youth throw away pennies all the time. Yes I pick them up and before I know it i have a dollar
-
i pick up any money i find on the ground because it helps. it may not be much but it's a penny more then u had.
-
I don't pick up pennies in corner areas where people urine, but other than than I will pick up pennies. As a matter of fact I found two pennies today!
-
Hell yeah. Money is money. I pick up pennies all the time.
I pick up pennies only if its the heads is up. I always beleived in superstitious. They said its good luck if you find a penny with the head is up. You never know you could pick one lucky penny.
-
Definitely would pick it up, I cash out my coins quite regularly. Pretty amazing how much change you can accumulate over a few months.
-
Yes I stop to pick up pennies, because it's like a little game for me. Then I bring them home and put them in a special jar just fror candy treats. This is the only time I go off eating candy on my diet. Of course I still eat all the other stuff I should not. But not to many pennies out there and they don't purchase much. (First Post)
-
...The other day I was following a guy out of a grocery store and he dropped all of the pennies he had on the ground. Made me wonder if he was trying to help the needy or maybe he just did not like carrying some much change.
...What do you think? I have a friend who thinks it is lucky to find a penny, heads up.
...Peace be with you. :) Della
YOu should always stop and pick up a penny because a penny earned is a penny earned
-
Okay I will have to remember that one. Would do it anyway, because you never know when you might need a few. Until the penny is no longer legal tender. Or replaced in England the used to have some thing called "tupence" I believe. That was a two penny coin. Soon we may be using the nickle as the smallest valued coin
-
everyone has probably dropped all their change before. I would pick it up if I dropped it or help someone else if I could. It's a pain but it is money and there isn't much to be had right now
-
Yeah I'd probably pick up the penny. As they say, "A penny saved is a penny earned"! Plus, it might just be good luck!
-
I pick up pennies any time I see one. Once bent over to pick up a penny and a few feet in front of me was $20.
I know, the same thing happened to me except I only found a $10 bill, but still, made me smile!
Sometimes I do. My sister will pickup ones that are tails and turn them heads up so it makes someone elses day - pretty awesome of her :wave:
That is so cool and very awesome of her! :heart:
I do pick up pennies and all coins. I save all my change in a tall empty salsa jar. Last time I cashed in just over $150 :)
I like pennies cuz they remind me of this poem:
Pennies From Heaven
I found a penny today
just laying on the ground
But it’s not just a penny
this little coin I’ve found
“Found” pennies come from heaven
that’s what my Grandpa told me
He said angels toss them down
oh, how I loved that story
He said when an angel misses you
they toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
make a smile out of your frown
So don’t pass by that penny
when you’re feeling blue
It may be a penny from heaven
that an angel tossed to you
-
I do then give it to some kid I see or put it in the thing by the cash register for some to use there if they need some their.
-
Yes I will pick up a penny, sometimes I find nickels and dimes, no hundred dollar bill yet, but I do save my coins and later will cash them in at a Coinstar or similer machine. Pennies do add up over time. Just check out the pennies you earn hear on FusionCash
-
i would pick up any change on the ground, put it in a piggie bank it comes in handy just like doing fusion cash. :) you can never have too much money laying around :)
-
Haha! Call me CHEAP, but when I see money on the ground, I'm on it! I had a nephew (RIP) who used to throw his change away. I was right behind him calling him crazy and picking it all up, LOL! In my world, EVERY PENNY COUNTS!
-
depends theres pros and cons i mean the pro money of course change does add up really fast but sometimes just not worth it money is one of the dirtiest things is it really worth getting all the germs idk i may have to start only picking up quarters lol
-
Hell yeah. Money is money. I pick up pennies all the time.
I pick up pennies only if its the heads is up. I always beleived in superstitious. They said its good luck if you find a penny with the head is up. You never know you could pick one lucky penny.
Well that makes perfect sense to me. So if you ever see a $100 bill on the ground, and you don't see Benjamin Franklin's portrait facing upward, leave it alone and walk away, because that be plenty bad mojo.
-
Always. "Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck". :D :D :D :D
-
I will pick it up if it is easy to get to, not a dangerous or high traffic place, and fairly clean. If it rolls under something I usually don't worry about it or if it is in a busy walk area or road. I also do get them if they are in a yucky puddle, etc..
-
I pick up all my pennies...a penny is money just like quarters, dimes, dollar bills ...
-
No. But i do stop to look at what face is facing up.
If the face of the penny isn't up, i pick up and flip it so it is. xD
-
Yeah I would..We do it online :icon_rr:
-
well I dont think i would stop to pick up a penny. it would just sit in my wallet just taking up space anyway...
-
I pick up every penny I find, heads up or otherwise. When I go for walks, I actually spend more time looking for change on the ground than looking at the scenery! Who knows why he dropped all the pennies on the ground, but I'm sure someone was glad that he did. :)
-
I do all the time. I don't really care if it's heads up or tails. I figure it's a small amount but can build into something bigger later.
-
Well honestly some times not all times..i hear its good luck? What do u think?
-
Absolutely. I'll pick up a penny on the ground just as quickly as I spend 9 minutes watching a .01 paid to watch video.
I'm grateful for every cent that comes my way. :heart:
-
I work at Walmart and am always finds money on the floor. I have found 20 dollar bills and 5 dollar bills and I take them to the service desk in case someone comes in and claims it. But if I find change on the floor I use to just keep it. Now we have a stand to put extra change in for the Children's hospital and I put it in there now. Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
Yes I would stop & pick up a penny .. got to feed the change jar ... lol
-
Still picking up those pennies or is it penny's? English grammar was not my strong point. Suppose it still is not. Back in the day they had penny candy. Every time my buddy needs help going to the dollar store I look for low cost candy. Never find it at a dollar store. But the local paper store has candy for 15 cents. And they will give you up to 4 cents if you need it towards emergency purchases. Wonder how many calories a penny buys. ;D
-
Yup! "See a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck!" We are "picking up pennies" here on Fusion Cash too and it all adds up! ;D
-
"Find a penny, pick it up,
And all day you'll have good luck!
Find a penny, let it lay, and bad
luck you'll have all day."
I grew up believing that this poem were fact! So it's very hard for me to leave a penny laying on the ground.
I only leave it if it is really in a filthy location and probably would bring me more harm than good.
-
:wave: hey money is money why not pick it up?
-
Prior to making money online, no. But since making money online I've realized the value of a penny. Every penny counts.
This post makes me think of someone I knew a long time ago that would throw pennies out of the window while driving down the road because he said he hated pennies. I wonder how many dollars that has added up to over the years.
-
A single penny? Generally no. But I will stop to pick up nickels and dimes.
-
yes i would stop, to pick up a penny.
-
Yes, I Would stop to pick up a penny well pennies makes dollars this was told by my parent's.
-
I will stop and pick up a penny . After you have so many you can exchange them. penny. They can slowly grow into something bigger, with patience!
-
Yes, I most definitely would pick up a penny or any coin I find lying on the ground or street. Those pennies add up to dollars and in this economy every penny counts. I don't care if it's on heads or tails I still pick it up.
-
Yes I would because as we all know every little penny counts!
-
I always pick up pennies when I find them. They are getting pretty sparse where I live, as a lot of people walk and a penny is a penny. Sometimes they are copper, so I save them.
-
Definitely! It all adds up. I oll them and turn themin at my Credit Union. They really appreciate it because they donotget change orders everyday
-
Of course, it goes without saying. I sit here a lot of times watching videos etc., clicking for a penny. This penny on the ground is a much faster way to go.
-
yes, i would probably pick up a penny just because.
every penny counts ;)
-
Yes I stop to pick up pennies. A few bucks extra in my pocket never hurt me. LOL
-
yes :)
-
you bet ;)
-
I always grab change on the ground, put it in my change jar and cash it in about once a year
-
yes i collect pennies off the ground unless im wearing a summer dress.
-
Depends on how nasty it looks.
-
You are asking us if we would stop to pick up a penny? We click for pennies and love it!!!!!!! Yes, I would stop to pick up a penny.
Exactly---i always pick up money, coins--paper, whether its a penny or a dollar--it's still money. Everything adds up in the end!!
-
just a simple yes, I would and also do
-

Yeah I here/read you. I was on the way to workout and at a store across the street from the gym someone dropped maybe 500 pennies. Everyone there was walking over them. I got a pre-workout stretch by bending down and picking them up. Seems like only yesterday I started doing FusionCash and look at all the pennies I have picked up (earned) on this site. ;D
-
Yep a pinny saved is a penny is earned, they do add up. I have picked bills also. who knows where they come from. If i am thingking of someone when i pick one i give a small prayer for them.
-
I LOVE pennies ... :wave: :wave:

-
I would stop to pick up a penny, now i use to avoid pennies on the ground but I thought the pennies will bring me good luck.
Sometimes when I see a penny i hesitate but now these day i"ll pick the penny up. :wave: :wave: :wave:
-
I do pick them up if they are on heads. `See a penny, pick it up all day long you'll have good luck.' As the old saying goes. (not to say the least quated in the movie GREASE.) besides my youngest collects them.
-
when you are as broke as me. yep, got to stop and pick up the pennies
-
Heck yeah money is money and it'll eventually add up, and if it's heads up I'm usually hoping for good luck I'm just not sure if it works or not.
-
Yes, I would and I don't care about whether it is on heads or tails.
However, I pick up any coin I find laying on the ground because
it all eventually adds up to dollars. It may take a while but I am
always picking up coins. I save them for hard times.
-
yeah, I will stop and pick up a penny. I save them in a special penny jar. One day they will add up. Who knows, maybe someday a penny with the copper can be worth more than a penny. "A penny earned is a penny Saved",, Was that the right quote?
-
Yes. I have so many pennies over the years from stopping and picking them up.
-
I sure would and I do. As others have said we click for pennies here on Fusion Cash so there is no trouble in picking them up if you see one. For me money is money and every penny counts. :)
-
I always pick up pennies cause I know they add up. I have a few mayonnaise jars in my room full of different coins. Last time I counted, I had a good $75 in nickles alone, so even thought pennies don't add up as quickly, I still figure it's worth it.
-
Oh defiantly Lol, Money is Money!
and It adds up.
When i was younger i wouldn't but now on my own I most defiantly would!
Life is different without a guarding taking care of you! ;)
-
I'm silly because I have always been poor but I have always enjoyed dropping pennies on the ground when i have extras. I love to think about who may pick them up and how I may have changed their days!
It puts a smile on my face thinking about what someone may have thought or the place they may have been in in their lives when they picked up that penny that I had left for them.
And then what journey that penny goes on!
Its great to stop and think :) Maybe I'm just an idealistic fool lol.
-
you bet ;)
Can you imagine if every person in the world gave you one penny?
-
Heck yeah I pick up pennies! I've known people who toss them because they say they aren't worth keeping, but the best reason I ever heard for dropping pennies was on an episode of Psych. The characters talk about leaving pennies wherever you go because pennies are good luck. By leaving pennies you're spreading a little good luck around the world, so maybe when I can afford to stop pinching my pennies I'll use them to spread a little luck around the world.
-
I usually do, yes. My boyfriend used to drop them on the ground sometimes, and I had to resist picking those up, too. hehe
-
I probably wouldn't have cared about a penny so much awhile ago. But now, I am much more frugal and every penny counts! So yes, definitely!
-
I just did that yesterday, I like to think of them as penny's from HEAVEN :wave:
-
Yes, I do pick up pennies when I find them. Sometimes I find myself looking for them when I'm walking into a store.
-
i pick up pennies a penny saved is a penny earned.
-
I sure would. Lately I've had my 4 year old pick them up and put them in the red kettles.
-
I dont pick up pennies, or nickels, or dimes, i might get a quarter...However, one time outside of blockbuster i saw a $5 bill on the ground.. I definitely picked that up..
-
I absolutely stop to pick up a penny. A person I admired and respected always said, "Take care of your pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves."
-
Always pick them up ;D even if its one cent its still money.
-
:thumbsup: i get it..!!
-
Find a penny, pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck.
-
Yes...see a penny pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck. Have a great and lucky day...
-
I always do. It's free money, even if it's just a penny...it's a penny closer to something.
-
I click videos on FS for a penny and I pick up a penny and keep it. It all adds up and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
...The other day I was following a guy out of a grocery store and he dropped all of the pennies he had on the ground. Made me wonder if he was trying to help the needy or maybe he just did not like carrying some much change.
...What do you think? I have a friend who thinks it is lucky to find a penny, heads up.
...Peace be with you. :) Della
Well, in this day and age especially you know what they say: A penny earned is a penny saved!!!! So I wouldn't frown on those pennies too much - I'd be picking them up!!!!!
-
I don't really pick up the pennies but I do save the ones that I get. They add up and drop them in coin star.
-
yeah i would pick it up
-
Yes I will penny make money to so I do pick them in put in my baby's piggiebank so she can save her some money. :wave:
-
I pick it up. Collect my change all for a little bonus or give to an orphange in Africa
-
Absolutely, I would pick it up! Old Ben had it right, a penny saved.
-
No I would not pick up a penny from the ground because I heard guys throw them so you will bend over. They just want to look at your heiny. So I don't do it. :angry7:
-
i would pick up a penny if its heads up
-
Only if it's heads up! :)
-
Yes I would pick it up. After all - I do surveys and such on line for pennies :P
-
Always!
-
I always stop to pick up pennies and place them in my shoe I don't know why I put it in my shoe but a penny is a penny and they add up really quick...I was always told that finding a penny on the ground is just a simple reminder that your guardian angel is watching over you and yet some like you said is good luck which I say if it's head's up it's just a fortune tale but really finding a penny on the ground these days is just considered plain lucky cause everyone wants to pinch that last penny especially with a lot of people loosing their jobs and the prices of everything rising like it is.
-
I used to leave them for somebody who needed them more but now days it's very tempting.
-
I do all the time, if its lucky or not, it all goes into the college fund
-
YES, I WOULD STOP AND PICK UP A PENNY LIKE MY GRANDMOTHER HAS ALWAYS SAID THAT A PENNY COUNTS TOO. PENNY SPENDS TOO.
-
I would stop to pick up a penny if it was easy for me to. If I see any change I pick it up. It adds up and I always use my change.
-
oh yes ill pick up any money my grandma told me that even if its not that much it would be some day and ill go out some times just to walk the streets to find pennys or any other change :notworthy:
-
I always pick up pennies. My daughter says they are pennies from heaven.
-
I'll usually always stop to pick up pennies and other coins if I notice them. Only time I don't is if I'm in a hurry or carrying a whole lot of stuff at the time.
-
I always pick up change I find on the ground. Some people hate pennies. I've had customers throw them in the trash can before. Now I make them leave them for someone else to use if they need a penny... But it all adds up eventually.
-
What a waste of time! Someone told me they want to recall them and melt them down to use the metal for other useful purposes! It is not a bad idea!
-
My son seems to be the lucky one. While we were christmas shopping he must have found close to a dollar in change on the ground. Pennies, Nickels, Dimes and even a quarter. I guess it is because he is small and lower to the ground. or maybe just an eagle eye.
-
To me every penny I find is a penny from heaven.....from my son who died almost 3 years ago. It always makes me smile!!!
-
I sure would pick up a penny. It all adds up! Pennies make nickles, nickles make dimes, dimes make quarters, and quarters make DOLLARS!!!! Well if there is anybody out there that don't want your pennies please by all means send them to me!!!! :thumbsup:
-
I occasionally will pick up a penny. My husband gets mad if I try to pick up a penny that has the tail side up. A bit superstitious. lol
-
money is money, even if it's a penny it all adds up. ;D
-
But of course I would!
-
Yes I would, but only if it's not in a place that is visibly really dirty. I don't believe in throwing money away; even if it's a penny.
-
I generally do stop and pick up any coins that may be on the ground. If it drops from someone I know, I will usually give it to them.
-
I would pick one up if its clean-alot of people dont like pennies,maybe thats why the guy tosed the pennies on the ground
-
I personally do not worry to much about dropping my change or passing by any unless quarters are involved or I specifically need it at the moment.
-
::)

Yea I believe it's lucky to pick up a penny. I alwayus do only heads up, my husband actually picks up all change.
deanna silvers
-
Yes, I would. Enough of those found pennies can add up to dollars when saved in a can or jar. Some people feel it is beneath then to do so, but the red cent has helped a lot of people.
-
I'm willing to pick up any penny that I find on the ground. It may not be worth it to someone else but, it is for me. Believe it or not, I was lucky enough to find $40 by a sidewalk when I went up north to visit my aunt. So, you will be surprise what you can find on the ground :)
-
oh yeah, i do it all the time
-
every time i see one would you do the same - but to be lucky it must be heads up and given to someone else
-
yes pick up every one i find pennies add up faster than one might realize
-
I'd pick up a penny anytime. ;D ;D
-
I usually don't like change but if I see a penny I always pick it up, because I do believe they get you good luck.
-
Only if it's heads-up. Silly I know. ;D
-
I never ever use to, Use to throw them away.. But now as I am older, and life has changed so very much.. I look for pennies to pick up.. But they will be gone from this country soon because they will not be making them anymore..
-
I always pick up a penny mostly because it says on it "IN GOD WE TRUST" and I do trust and believe.
-
Sure I would if I dropped it but I don't just go around picking up pennies. I do have piggy bank full of pennies.
-
Here is an anecdote that applies to this thread: supposedly at some point after he had established himself as one of the richest people in the U.S., Warren Buffett stopped and reached down to pick up a penny. Some of the people around him were shocked at this. Seeing their surprise, Buffett declared "The start of the next billion."
-
Pennys add up. I always stop and pick them up thean I put theam in a jar to save for something nice.
-
Of course I would, I mess around here for sometimes more than an hour a day for a very few pennies! LOL
-
I would collect a penny just because I like collecting my change :) I usually save up most the year and cash it in for a rainy day :)
-
i do all the time
-
You'd better believe it and last month, I saw my hubby picking up something in a parking lot and when he met me at the restaurant, he gave me $1.23... that someone left in the parking lot in change... I'm excited about pennies and he found that!!!
-
Yes, I would pick up a penny. Yes, I have picked up a penny. Yes, picking up a penny can lead to good luck!
-
I always pick up a penny mostly because it says on it "IN GOD WE TRUST" and I do trust and believe.
...Amen! Best answer I have seen yet.
-
I have seen pennies and picked them up. You may have heard the old adage, "See a penny and pick it up; all the day you'll have good luck". And remember, it takes longer to save pennies than the quarters, dimes and nickels. :) :angel11:
-
most ooften i pick some pennies. Brings good luck.
-
I was at a club in NYC one night. This kid dropped all his quarters on the ground and he was just fine with not picking them up, so I picked them up and used them for my tolls home. :thumbsup:
-
I picked up a penny today...of course I stop to pick up a penny. See a penny pick it up and all the.....
-
I always stop and pick up any coins that I see on the ground, they all add up! I have a jar that all my change goes in! When I get bored I roll on the coins and put them in my savings account and start all over again.
-
I always pick up a penny. I save them in a jar and when my jar is full i change it for dolllar bills. :) Btw Picking up a penny can lead to good luck! :thumbsup:

-
I useto when younger 'cause a penny means good luck.
-
Picking up pennies makes me smile. I don't pick them up for the face value of them but for the reminder of how lucky I am.
-
I'm not that hard up for cash. I'll just earn my pennies on FusionCash and allow someone else to have a lucky day :)
-
I pick up pennies and put them in my kids piggy banks.
-
Yes. But first I throw a dollar down just to make it worth the effort of bending over.
-
Yes. But first I throw a dollar down just to make it worth the effort of bending over.
Funny!! Thanks for making me crack up :P You never know?? That penny may just have the year that has great value. I dont know much on the $money$ values on pennies but I have heard some are pay days.. I believe in the hundreds :o
-
Only if there was a hot chick with a short skirt standing there. LOL. Just kidding. I most likely would not pick it up.
-
I pick up all the change I find. Yes, it's only a penny but if you pick up 100 over time that's a dollar.
-
