What coin denominaton would you "stoop down" (bend over) to retrieve?
A. A penny...(see a penny,pick it up..all day long.. you' ll have good luck!)
B. Anything silver
C. Only for dollars.
D. I can't bend over🤭
 

I had a coin collection which I had been working on for years but had to sell when I needed money from being out of work during the pandemic. I will stoop for any coin because I am so darned interested in them. :) I don't save them anymore but use cash sometimes at the store and the coins get used that way. Everything has a purpose and nothing is too small to be of use.
 
Took my grandson for a walk to pick up his sister at school on the way there we found a couple coins at a time 47 cents
Now at 4 years old he thought he was rich... but now each time we walk the kids like to find anything even a penny.
Did that with my kids when they were little saved it in a jar and in a year had $101 once.
 
No coins. I always hope a little kid finds the coin(s) because they are so delighted. I haven't in my life seen any bills of various denominations anywhere, ready to be scooped up. If a hundred dollar bill were lying on the sidewalk, I'd take it to the police. You never know if the person who lost it really needs it, and I'd feel guilty keeping it. The police would return it to me (allegedly) if no one claimed it, I've read.

So my answer is: Does not apply.
 
A-B-and C for me. I pick up money and put it in my pockets. Like in the olden days the saying of "Finder's keepers losers weepers". I have thought about if I found drug money what I would do. Might set it on fire and destroy it. I figure it would help the economy by raising the value of the money in existence.
 
C.

My son throws all his coin into a dish in his room. It cracked the dresser top. Now the coin is in his drawer threatening to bust out the bottom.

I worked in a credit union for years before they had the counting machines and seeing a man (it was always a man) heading for me with a coffee can always made my heart sink because it meant all afternoon rolling it into paper rollers.

When I was in college I made a ten cent call on a payphone, hung it up and about forty dollars worth of coin came rolling out like I'd hit the jack-pot. I called the operator and she had me feed it all back in.

Now that a candy bar costs a dollar I think we should just give up coin. All those items that cost $19.99 never fooled anyone anyway.
 
My late father, who I loved very much, used to pick up any type of coin from the floor. He would sometimes even go through the coin return in a pay phone to see if there was any loose change. He grew up during the Great Depression.

So, if I see a penny on the ground I immediately pick it up because I look at it his sign to me that "everything is going to be okay".
