Pick It Up Or Leave It?

I usually pick it up. If its on heads. I guess i'm superstitous (sp) if its on tails it means bad luck and I won't pick it up. saving change can come in handy. My son saved and when he cashed it in at one of those change machines he had over a $150. my daughter did the same thing and she had over $170.

You are very lucky...
I seldom pick money~ because my short sight? haha~
If i see some coins on the ground, i will pick it up,why not pick it? if you don't pick it,others will pick it~

Yes, I pick up loose change or any money I see lying on the ground. I remember when I was a freshman in high school that I picked up money one day and discovered that it was a 20 folded inside a 10... so it was thirty bucks! Other students were rushing thru the hallway just stepping on it and not paying attention. I have picked up money various other times since then, a few dollar bills that I spied underneath my car in a parking lot, a few bills stuck in a plant in a parking lot, on the floor in a Walmart, you just never know what you'll see when looking down.

These days I usually pick up the change and put it in my wallet and then when my change purse area gets too full, I dump it into my daughter's piggy bank. I also use the change I get from recycling to put in her piggy bank.

I certainly do - I haven't been saving it in my "tin" lately, though, I just put the coins straight in my coin purse.
Growing up, my dad kept a huge can full of coins, and once a year, when my brother would visit, he, my sister and I would empty out all the money and count it - there was usually well over $1000!
That taught me that small change is worth keeping=)

Congratulations on teaching your children good saving habits!=D

I pick it up, dirty, clean, heads, or tails...it adds up, and goes in our daughter's change jar that gets converted to college savings along with other stuff...

Heads, tails, pennies, nickels, rusty, dirty...it's still all money. If I'm going to click on a 30 second ad for 1 cent, I'll pick one up off the ground. My 5 yo has been looking for and finding money on the ground for 2 years now and he's found well over $50. He has 1 bank for money he finds, one for change that my hubby and I give him and another for bills. Our 11 yo loses money, misplaces it, spends it like it's water, but our 5 yo is the ultimate little saver. My hubby tells him he'll be a millionaire by the time he graduated high school: )

I do usually. I've saved up to about $200 and something once.
but that was when I was working in a bar and all our drinks ended with 50 cents. so there was always a lots of quarters on the ground after work.

I pick them up and save them. As you've said, those small amounts of change eventually begin to add up. I don't care what they look like, I still pick them up. When I was moving out of my apartment on Friday, someone threw away a nickel. The bag broke and it fell out so as soon as I was able to pick it up I did. Not use in throwing money away!

I always pick up loose coins if I see them. It soon adds up. On the odd occasions I've seen bank notes, I usually look around to see if anyone appears to have lost a banknote, and if not, then I'll pick them up.

I have a change jar here and at last count we had $50 in there. We try not to dive into it too often though because we never know when we might need it, but it's definitely helped when we needed a coupla extra dollars

I never had any luck spotting a change in street and pick it up . maybe other person had already beat me to it. Wow, your kid got 70 buck just picking up coins? Thats just double what i earn online so far Maybe i should just change my extra money job.
