Well, would you?
Yes
I do it all the time. I’ve been saving pennies since my son was born almost 11 years ago. At last count, it was over $500.00.
He gets it when he’s 16.
Yes. Unless you’re talking about a girl named Penny, in which case I wouldn’t pick her up. Unless she’s fallen down.
If I’m the only one around, yes. Otherwise it might belong to someone around me and that could get embarrassing.
That’s my penny.
No, it’s my penny.
Sure.
No. In fact, when I grab a handful of change from my pocket or car door, I usually throw out the pennies.
I did, as a small child. Later, when i found out just how much one was worth, i decided i would leave them for somone who actualy needs it.
No. Not worth the trouble.
I wish the govt would discontinue the penny.
ahem
See a penny
pick it up
and all day
you’ll have good luck
Especially if it’s face-up
yeah, if only because it’s fun to puzzle storekeepers with them. common for friends to bet five to one odds that the guy won’t notice that it’s a penny and not a NT (Taiwanese currency, which, incidentally, looks rather like a penny)
heh-heh-heh…
If you give it to a friend
Then your luck will never end.
A collegue at a school where I was a temporary supply teacher in London used to pick up all the loose change that the kids would drop in the playground - at the end of the term, so he told me, he would have between £8 and £13.
Good enough to down a few to celebrate the holidays!!
Yup I always pick up pennies but only if they are heads up.
Yep. Every one gets me one cent closer to my next million $.
The only one with the correct answer
(me too & then I make a wish 'cause I’m silly like that)
Sure do. Save them in my plastic yellow smiley face bank and when it’s full, take them to the Coinstar at the local ShopRite.
Nah. I don’t even pick up dimes and nickels unless I’m at home.
Dad and I both used to drive Datsun Z-cars (his was a 1972 240Z, mine a 1984 280ZX). For those of you who are not familiar with the design, they are two-door cars and have rather long doors.
Dad used to work at the Ameron plant in Burkburnett, Texas, which has a (mostly) dirt-and-gravel parking lot. He got out of his Z one day, and saw a penny on the ground. He said he was going to just leave it there, but then he changed his mind.
“Who am I, that I am so rich I can’t even stop to pick up a penny?” he thought.
So Dad bent over to get the penny, and hit his head on the (still open) car door. He needed stitches, and I don’t think I have to tell you that costs more than a penny.
Dad and I don’t pick up pennies any more.
Assume it takes one and one-half seconds to pick up a penney. Calculate the equivalent rate per hour of picking up pennies.
60 seconds divided by 1.5 seconds is 40 cents per minute. To arrive at the rate per hour, multiply 40 cents by 60. Your result is $24.00 per hour, my children. And that’s tax-free.
Yes, I pick up pennies.
