to pick a penny off the ground?

Why don't they just find something usefull for these things/

So when you see a penny do you pick it up for good luck?

Does anyone really go to buy something and ends up like.. one penny short

If not a penny what would you stop and pickup, 5 cents, a quarter?

I purposely drop unwanted change on the ground. Don't ask me why, I'm abnormal.

**Mysteryhunter** · 09-06-2008 04:26 AM

I'm the one who drops them, so that people will pick it up feel lucky & hopefully get a grin.

Yepp that's Chuck ;O I'm surprised someone knows her, everyone seems to not know who she is.

I pick up any change I find. I have a 5 gallon Deer Park water jug in my room that's about half full of random coins. It's probably got $25-$35 in it.

I usually don't. but I did today for luck. I don't know what. I think I'll start leaving it on the ground, too

I didn't know you were a fan. I like the "Down Ass Bitch" song she did with Ja. Chuck is sexy as hell.

Maybe a quarter, but not a penny. If I picked up a penny I'd lose it before I spent it.

I have a friend who does though. He picks up every penny he sees, even if he has to go out of his way to get it. He even opens up his door and picks up change at the drive-thru.

**Neruo** · 09-06-2008 03:18 PM

A penny, with the current value of the dollar, is still worth about 1/1000th of nothing in Europe. I also don't pick up 5 (euro) cent pieces. 10 euro-cents I would pick up, I think, because the are FUCKING MADE OF GOLD

(yellow material).

**drewmandan** · 09-06-2008 03:34 PM

No. Must be a dollar or greater.

**suttsman** · 09-06-2008 05:03 PM

I have some sort of radar when it comes to coins on the ground. I don't ever use them, but it's a fun, short little sidetrack when I'm walking home from school or someting.

**Black_Eagle** · 09-06-2008 05:16 PM

I actually only pick up pennies if they are heads up so I didn't vote in the poll.

**capoopy** · 09-06-2008 06:57 PM

I used to have a big piggy bank filled with all types of change. It ended up having like $100 lol. My mom made me put most of in my college savings though lol.

**Pastulio_** · 09-06-2008 09:45 PM

I always pick up the pennies, but I typically lose them.

Doesn't stop me though...

**Forsaken** · 09-07-2008 01:40 AM

More fun to epoxy them to the floor and watch people try to pick them up.

Oh but to answer the question, no, they're not worth the zinc and copper they're made of (literally).

**ray** · 09-07-2008 03:30 AM

i pick 'em up most of the time...mostly if they are on heads for good luck...i have so many superstitions...i could be a captain of a ship!

Pennies are worthless in Australia now..

**Xaqaria** · 09-13-2008 02:57 AM

Pennies are the perfect ammunition for my sling shot.

**Xox** · 09-13-2008 03:08 AM

Yeah, I pick up any change off the ground. It's like an OCD. I HAVE to pick it up, even though I usually just leave it at a higher place after I pick it up. Like, I'll pick it up off the ground and put it on top of a car.

**Schmaven** · 09-13-2008 04:59 AM

Sometimes I pick up pennies. It depends on how convenient it is to do so though. Also, a lot of pennies are covered in mold or something, you know, those ones where you can't even see what's on the penny. Those are nasty. Probably ass pennies. I usually grab pennies from the take-a-penny leave-a-penny things.

My mom used to do that shit to me all the time. It's annoying as hell. Once, she found my stash of money I was saving in my room (like $70) and she just put it in the bank without telling me. When I finally noticed it was gone, she told me "You have to start saving your money." Which I found ironic, because she stole my personal savings.

I didn't have a car at this point, nor access to my bank account.

$100 is not really worth saving for college, especially if you're still in high school. You're better off using that money now, when you need it. All of my tuition that isn't covered by scholarships, I have loans that I don't have to make payments on until after I graduate. I could start paying them off now if I really wanted to. But once I graduate, I'll be making a lot more money than I am now, so it'll be easier to pay off. There's no way I'd be able to pay it all off now anyways, so if I tried, it would be similar to me throwing my money down a bottomless pit. I can throw as much down there as I want, but it will always have room for more.
