Do you pick up change off the ground?

If you see a penny or quarter on the ground, so you pick it up and put it in your pockets? Me, I grab it and run frantically around, asking everyone I see, "IS THIS YOUR PENNY???" LOL! I'm just kidding about that. But I will pick up spare change any time I see it. I figure it is a stroke of luck, even if it is just a penny. And if I don't pick it up, someone else will. Score!!

Actually - yes I do! I have this "thing" that I always give any money I find in the street to the nearest charity collection tin for an animal charity - I've done it since I was a kid. I figure, that the money hasn't been missed by the real owner, and a small amount won't do me any good, - but it may help a charity - so I always do that!

Yeah I do. I collect it and throw it in my change jar when I get home. It eventually adds up. I saw someone drop all their change at the store when they were checking out and they saw it fall to the ground. They walked away so I picked it up. It was about 39 cents but like I said, it all adds up.

Yes it all adds up! Every penny you retrieve is a penny you did not have before!

Definatly. I've always heard that finding a penny heads up is good luck. Also alot of ppl never look at the ground anymore so you'd be surprised how many ppl drop change and just walk on. I am always finding it in the parking lot when I'm going out.
HAVE A GOOD DAY!!

Yes, I do picking up the money. Like you, I think it's a stroke of luck. I have a jar for the pennies that I picked up to give at Easter in my church. It is not much but it sure helps to add in the collection for St Vincent. I am passing along the "lucky" strike...LOL
