Would you pick up a dime?

My husband and I were just at Home Depot. On the way out I noticed a dime on the ground. I kept on walking.
I started thinking about what I did almost immediately though. I thought that I was a spoiled American to just walk on past money on the ground. I thought that I was lucky to be in a position where I *could* walk past money. Then I wondered if I would have gone by if it was a quarter. (probably not)
Would you walk by a dime on the ground or would you pick it up? What about a penny?

Any change on the ground I would pick up in time it all adds up.

I would've just walked right past it. If it was penny on heads then I would pick it up for good luck.

@Blondie2222 I had a friend who would not pick up a penny if it was tails on the ground

I'd pick it up and add it to the rest of my extra change. We use up the change at the self checkout.

I pick up every coin I find, unless one of my kids beats me to it. I found a dime hiding under the warmer for the rotisserie chickens at the grocery store this morning, and last night I picked up two pennies in different checkout lanes.
I haven't really been keeping track of how much I've found recently, but in a bit over 6 months last year I managed to collect over $60 in coins and bills.
I have a special bowl set aside for all of the money I find. On December 31, I emptied it out started fresh the next day with just a few pennies I I found at...

I would pick up a dime, maybe a nickel. But probably not a penny.

It takes less time to pick up a penny than what it takes to earn a penny online. It all adds up when in need.

@NJChicaa There's five or six on the bathroom floor that have been there for a few days. I was curious to see if anyone else would pick them up. Apparently not.

I pick up any money even if it's just a penny but I would have been excited about that dime

I had a similar incident. While I do not give up large sum but I do not give much for a peny and yes I would walk away .

I pick up any money I find on the ground. I am not a spoiled American.

I pick any coin of any denomination. A penny saved is a penny earned. You may scoff but they add up over time.

@JohnRoberts I'm the same way 
Once I was in a gross bathroom as a kid and bent down to pick up a penny and my mother who is truly germaphobic flipped out. I was just going to wash it in the sink with soap and water lol well as an adult and parent myself I can understand why she freaked out.
