Can you make a living off finding dropped money?

I doubt you could make a true living off of it, probably could survive if you brought in a few more tactics like Picking up Cans and Bottles and recycling them for money. Id say after 8 hours of doing Both of those.. no more than 10$.

That's an interesting concept. I see alot of small change all over the place as well and I sometimes feel like saving them up and giving them to people who ask "for a help " or for some spare change. But I don't do it cause they wouldn't want that petty change (even though they are actually begging!) I have found notes sometimes too, I just call it my lucky day when I do. Once I found almost a dollar worth of change. My grandpa has a habit to pick up those small change when he sees it. I only rarely do it myself. To answer your questions exactly now... * I don't think you would be able to make a living wandering the streets for spare change. * Ok, let's assume you get desperate and it's your last resort. I feel that maybe you'll get $15.00 to $20.00 by the end of 8 hours if you are lucky that is. * The supermarket. Here there is spare change laying around the parking lot, I feel you could easily collect a dollar in change with one sweep. After that you may need to wait to look again the next day though. Well so I feel anyway.

i doubt you could make a living off of it. But maybe you could make spare change!

The only way you could remotely make anything close to a living with this is if you lived in a big city. And even then you may only pick up a couple of bucks!! I would not try this as my only source of income...that's for sure!!

it might "IT MIGHT" be good for pocket change but as far as making living on dropped changed for 8 hrs is not going to work! you have a better chance of begging than just looking on the ground for loose change!
