Hello, I normally used to pick up pennies but now I don't always, I will pick up anything larger tho 5 cents a dime a quarter whatever. I wonder how many dollars I lost from not picking up pennies? something to think about lol.

I try not to walk past any coins I see on the ground. It may be small change, but as I see it, it can be put to good use. Whether I keep it to spend, save it or donate it to charity, no matter how small the coin amount is, it's for a good cause. It's kind of a mini blessing I guess.

Absolutely not, I'd always pick it up. Just think, all those pennies add up to pounds, and all those pounds will one day make my fortune Hahahahahahhahaa, as if. But I do it anyway.

I belong to those who drop the penny in the frist place and can't be bothered to pick it up... So I hope you had good luck when you picked it up...

for myself, lol i dont pick up pennies, just cause am too lazy to bend over for a cent lol. i can see how its bad luck though lol. people should save every cent, and pick up every coin or opportunity that comes to them.

Yep I most certainly do, well, if there is no one looking, I grew up in a time where it was considered trampish to do that and it kind of stuck!! I pick them up, or get my kids to pick them up and then put them in our savings pot to go towards things for the family.
