If your walking in a sidewalks and you see one cents, will you pick it or just ignored it. As for me, i pick it because i always think that if there is no one cent, there will be no $1 or $1million. And some said that its a lucky charm. So usually i hide it in my coin purse and i will never used it. But if i see like $1, i always give it to beggar. What about you?

For several reasons I would bother to pick up the one cent. One of the main reasons, how many times can you think of a situation that you are in the store and you are short of a couple of pennies and you have to give an entire dollar bill just to pay for the item.Thinking that if the person started to pick up pennies or being it nickles, dimes or any coin at this moment they wouldn't have to be in that situation and carry around ninety-five cents in coins in their pocket because they were a nickel short to pay for the item. I hope this has helped shed some light on the discussion and seeing things through this side might be a little bit helpful. =)

yes, you explain that well. i've read a story about a guy who saw one cents in his bathroom floor and he just ignore it. One day before the salary, this guy is out of money. So his plan is to straight homem when he was about to ride bus going home, he check his wallet and he is short of one cent for his fare, instead of riding a bus, he walk going home and he never thought that it will take him 1 hr and 30mins to walk. Reaching home, he is so tired and his feet is killing him with pain, and then when he saw that one cent in his bathroom floor, he pick it up and kiss it and said, if i just pick you up earlier, i would never experience what i just did today. From then on, everytime he saw money, even if it small amount he pick it and treasure it.
