Do you pick up Pennies (letter, wife, Canada, difference)

Do you pick up Pennies?

Not anymore, I stopped doing that a few years ago. I picked up a Penny one time.. and she started screaming at the top of her lungs, then she hit me with her purse nearly fracturing my skull!

[Miss Blue]

I don't pick them up..I always figured that someone in need may be looking for any change that may be found laying on the ground, so I pass on by..

Good to your room Mike!




I always pickup pennies, I’ve got a special reason that too long to go into. But they are special to me and I enjoy getting them.

No I don't, but only because I'm lazy and don't feel like bending over. The other day I was jogging in the woods on a trail and saw a couple quarters, dimes and nickels laying on the ground. I was still too lazy to even pick those up

My kids ALWAYS pick em up though


Thanks Qbaby, after reading your poem, I feel I MUST Pick up every penny now!!!!! LOL

You should always carry a buck wadded up in your purse just for that type of event. When you see the money on the ground ~ toss the wadded up buck down beside the change. Now it’s worthwhile to pick it all up and go walking away happy.

You know there is inflation and a devalued currency if we don’t want to pickup any change on the ground. I found a dime the other day and was very happy ~ until I couldn’t find anything to buy with it.

Yes, I do. Hubby and I are 'numismatists'. Can never let a coin just lie/lay there. Maybe just that one that we need. Have found a few that way in the past. Fill my little books and then for birthday or Christmas presents give to grandsons. Keep a few here also. Hey, does anyone have a 1909S VDB Lincoln penny that they don't want? Just DM me and I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

I just heard the other day that it costs 2 cents to make a penny and 10 cents to make a nickel. Go figure,,,,,, and they print out hundreds of dollar bills for little or nothing.

LOL ~ it’s fun to collect coins but I’ve always find that the kids don’t always enjoy them as much as we do. It’s interesting how much increased value the coins have over a few years.

Always pick them up. found some nice ones dating back to the 40's and 50's.

Mike, was the Penny that smacked you named Penny Nickles?

So you've finally stopped stalking her?
