Do you pick up pennies?

[MongGrel]

I used to put them on RR tracks to flatten em out long ago.

Super gluing them to the ground was a thing once upon a time.

Aren't they already flat? 😛

 

[Childs]

Yes...if they're face-up. Face-down I leave on the ground.

That makes no sense. Face down would reveal the leaves for an old penny. Whoever came up with that saying was an idiot...or old enough that wheat pennies were common.

In my state, cans that are sold with carbonated beverages in them are returnable for the nickel deposit.

How many of you return cans / bottles?

I do!

I just made $41 off of recyclables.

I used my newfound wealth to buy $8,000 worth of guns this week. 🙂

Yeah...I still LOOK at them...just in case it's a wheat penny, but I DO agree...that saying has been around since God was a teenager...and wheat pennies were the norm.

I used to dumpster dive at the old office, and one time someone else in the building got fired or something. their stuff was in the dumpster. One of their former possessions was a WWII steel penny. It's mine now.

I pick up every coin I see. Made twenty extra cents today.

I'm a class act. I don't bend over for less than $20.

I saw a penny on the floor at work today and thought of this thread. My back was already sore so I left it there.

I really enjoy going through coins looking for old ones. Same thing for bills. Back when I had a vending route my kids and I would go through bags and bags of mostly quarters before taking them to the bank.

I have a Series 77 $20 bill that's a misprint or a miscut or something. The top edge of the main outline of the bill is right up against the edge of the paper.

Glad we got rid of them. Do not miss them at all. You guys should jump on the bandwagon.

 

[Phoenix86]

I throw them on the ground.

Ass pennies.

 

[ponyo]

I pick up pennies and any loose change. Probably picked up several hundred dollars worth over the years.

The day we get rid of penny is the day <1983 yr pennies price basically doubles overnight. It means we will be able to melt copper pennies without penalty and current copper melt value of 1982 or earlier penny is 180% or 1.8 cents.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

I not only pick up pennies, I pick up trash.

 

[JSt0rm]

I throw all pennies on the ground.

 

[Fayd]

i don't even look down.

 

[Platypus]

nope, coins are a waste of time that should just be done away with.

 

[Muse]

I generally do but won't double back on my bicycle. For dimes, I usually do. I found a $50 bill one day on my bicycle.

Always. Pennies add up over time.

I often see coins on the floor in the gym, they fall out of people's pockets and they don't notice. Sometimes it's quarters, dimes, pennies. I don't always pick up the pennies, it depends. In the changing room, I usually pick them up, it's almost a kind of tidiness. Other people will see them too there, I figure why make other people make that decision, I'll pick it up and hope it's my "lucky penny."

It's a fact of life, coins are money.

I just hope Karma is a real thing, and all the relatives from Indiana that came down here years ago and raped her for the Liberty Silver Dollars etc that she had die in a firey pit more or less.

We moved her up there, what she wanted to do after my Grandfather died, a few years later they dumped here back again with nothing at my bronthers house and I had to rescue her from him about a month later and have here in a good place for years now after fighting with the VFW for a year and a half after what she was owed.

If she had stayed at my brothers she would be dead now, we had to get her meds straightened out.

The shit she was one when they dumped here at his house was pretty horrible also.

I could go onto other stories after that one, I won't bother.

I do not like my relatives these days there, I do not like my brother, and I do not like a lot of things in life in general.

Grandma is happy, I still have a house myself and the wife and the sister and law does the same type of thing with my mother-in-law, who I do not get along with, but still.

Lots of people in life will fuck you over in a heartbeat, get used to it, take care of anyone you care about.

I always pick up pennies. There's a 50% chance I'll get tail which is about 50% better than my regular odds. And if not, it still ain't so bad.
