i never pick up pennies, but i pick up all other loose change.

in my life, i've only found bills a handful of times. one of the times was a $10 bill :Q

I found a $20 once, it did not go to charity.

How much money would they spent the time working minimum wage jobs instead?

her209, don't be such a downer 🙂 Seems like a nice idea, and I think it teaches a good lesson to their kids. Besides, those kids are too young to get real jobs anyway.

With that $100-bill, don't you have to report that?

I wonder how much money they would have made picking up cans, bottles, etc.?

Wow that is really loose man!

Meh, the effort is not worth the ~$315 a year.,

I never spend my loose change, it just goes into a jar.

I used to end up with about $300 a year in change, but I've been using my credit and debit cards more. I only have about $20 from the last year.

What $100 bill? I am sure that ElFenix would agree that he didn't find anything if that truly is the case.

I once found a twenty in the grass while walking around campus, funny thing was that later I was at my friend's house that evening and we watched the movie about a twenty getting passed around...

Better lesson would be have one kid collect change, have another spend his free time working, see who produced what.
