    Find a penny pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck.

    I pick up pennies. Not 2p's, though. Or 5p's. Or 10p's, or 20p's...
    50 pences and up, I'm so there.

    I don't like taking money...if it's lost (even if it's a penny) I feel as though it isn't mine. Although someone lost it, I don't automatically gain possession of it. I'd rather leave it where it is or turn it in to an official.

    I would pick up anything! Never underestimate the small amounts... they can pile up and become big one day. I'm doing that now :)

    I would feel awkward.
    picking up a 20. Ppl might think Im stealing or maybe someone will see me take it without realizing its thiers.
    I understand the stigma attached to pennies, however I would pick them up if the street wasnt busy. They are all over the place in a college dorm building!

    its all in my head

    i try really hard to live by the "if it isnt mine dont touch it" policy. i think i found money once and my eyes lit up, i turned it in. i really wanted to leave it there but i didnt. the only time i dive for change is if i saw it and needed it. i'd go back to the same place i saw it, damn taxes. but one day i will be 100% successful at the rule i want to live by.

    I usually keep my distance from coins, because I just end up wasting them anyway. Bills, though, always have a home with me.

    Since I've had 2 spinal fusion surgeries, I think the least would be $10. But, I'm so poor, a quarter may do it!

    Our smallest currency is a 5c coin, and I do stop to pick them up. Every cent counts.

    Anything from a penny to a buck I'll pick up, more than that feels like stealing.

    Quarters and up, the rest (dimes and below) arent worth the time to pick up.
