If you see a quarter on the sidewalk would you pick it up?

[SandyinAnaheim]

My father, who owned a Mobil gas station back in the 70s, used to superglue a quarter to the floor right outside the door to the office. The daily entertainment came from watching and laughing at people trying to pry that quarter off the ground, and boy did they!

And yes, I pick up ALL money I find discarded, I'm not prejudiced to denomination.

My daughter's bf saw a $10 bill on the restroom floor inside a restaurant. He didn't pick it up b/c he said it was probably dirty, then he came out and told a waitress that there was a $10 bill on the floor. she went inside and pick it up.

i used to walk between work and the railway station via the waterfront
once i saw $20 in the water between the walkway and the park
it was high tide and looked a bit deep and id be going on the train wet
i stood and looked at it for ages woundering what to do and if it was like a candid camera type thing

and yes im a firm beleaver in see a penny pick it up even though we havn't had pennies in my life time
i must confess i can't help myself from picking marbles out of the gutter (i wash them) been doing it since i was a kid
i have a huge bag of marbles

Hahaha yes same here. Though I admit I usually say to my dh honey please pick that up. Let him do the dirty work after all he is the boy.

Yes, even pennies. "See a penny and pick it up. All day long you'll have good luck.'' Apparently superstition was ingrained in me from a very early age, because I know all of them.

 

[pearlsngems]

Nothing smaller than a quarter... I leave smaller denominations for kids to find.

 

[autumngems]

Yes I do.
I also pick up diamond rings, watches, gems, etc. Found a few

 

[msop04]

Absolutely!

 

[lambskin]

yup

 

[redwood66]

Yes.

 

[doberman]

Sure, I'd pick it up. But I'd be more interested if it was a penny. I collect old wheat pennies.

 

[Starfacet]

Yes.

A gas station around here has coins glued to their countertop, by the cash register.

During my running days, I kept an old baby food jar of all my 'found' change...sort of fun to see it accumulate. But yes, will pick up any change, any glittery item etc. @doberman - I also collect old wheat pennies!

 

[marcy]

Yes

HI:

For sure. There was a $100 bill on the ground a few weeks ago and I snapped it up! (I looked for owners...but no one was around)
