I will pick up any coins that I find! I put them in my daughters piggy bank. Pennies add up quickly. You can always wash the germs off your hands  :)

Any found change is blessings from heaven!  I pick up all of them.  My daughter almost caused me to get hit once when she told me there was a penny in the parking lot as we were walking through.  I stopped suddenly to look for it almost causing a car to hit me.
Have a wonderful day!

I pick up any money I see laying on the ground.  It adds up and helps a lot, especially right now while I don't have a job.

When I was younger I would walk past pennies on the ground. But since I turned 40 (I'm 51 now) I pick up anything. I come from an old fashion family, (penny saved is a penny earned). What do you think?

I have always picked up loose change off floor.  Mostly pennies, but if you get enough of them you have a dollar.  Every little bit helps.

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.

Lucky penny! I'll pick up any coin, you don't know when they will all add up later so you can get that extra something :D

If I'm willing to get a penny or two for working on this site,I'll surely pick them up off the ground if I find them. ;)

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

It doesn't really matter to me, it's still found money, even a penny. Then I can put it in my piggy bank so it'll add up after a while :)

I will pick up dimes, nickels and pennies. It all adds up over the course of the year.
