Poll:do you throw away pennies?

[RIGorous1]

Just wanted to know because I was in downtown LA today and there were some corporate highballs clearing their pocket change by thowing away the pennies on the street. Made me sick alittle; part of me wanted to slap them, the other half wanted to pick the pennies up 😉

WTF good are pennies?

 

[rgwalt]

No, I put all my change (pennies included) into a change jar. When the jar is full I cash it in to buy video games, CDs, movies, etc.

Sometimes if they're really nasty with stuff growing on them, but in general I don't throw money away.

Right in front of them or when they were gone... keep in mind that this was downtown LA... lots of people and I bet a bum would've fought me for it 🙂

well if they got their jollies laughing at me picking up their pennies, more power to them.

I don't usually throw them away, but sometimes I like leaving them stacked in odd places for others to find.

I have a whole jar full of all sorts of coins, including pennies, that I plan on cashing in and using the cash for gambling this weekend 🙂

 

[EvilYoda]

If I'm out, and I know I won't be home for a while, I'll probably leave the small change on the counter...I hate having change in my pockets, unless it's a dime or quarter. I have a little box full of quarters (along with a huge piggy bank), for those impulse arcade-trips 🙂

 

[ohtwell]

I usually keep all my change. I have a jar full of it! 😀

While I wouldn't throw my change on the street, I probably wouldn't pick it up.

 

[Encryptic]

I just keep them in a jar and cash them in when it gets full. It may not be a lot of money, but it adds up over time.

When I was a little girl I used to throw pennies down the heating vent 😀

 

[beatle]

I keep 'em! Like several others, I keep a change jar (wine carafe) that I fill with all of my loose change. I never carry change unless it's from a prior purchase earlier that day. At the end of the day, it all goes in my jar. When it's full, I roll the silver coins and take the pennies to the grocery store to have the money counting machine tally up what I have and then use the penny money on :beer: 😀.

Don't put your silver in those change machines! They charge 7-9% of your total! For pennies, it's not worth the effort to count and roll them. 😉

i usually keep some in my wallet and spend them away when buying stuff

 

[mpitts]

No. I put them in a jar.

 

[Dufman]

i keep them in a jar. then i go to the bank every few months to get a little more cash to blow at the bars.

 

[Dissipate]

The average american has $50 worth of change laying around their house or a total of $6 billion. Maybe some day the government will have an "unused change tax" where the IRS walks around your house and picks up all loose change. 😀

 

[thirtythree]

whenever I get change other than quarters I leave it on the counter or on the ground for someone to find. I probably should keep it but oh well...

 

[WinkOsmosis]

I melt them.

I put all my pennies in a gas station jar lol
