How Much Money Before You Stop To Pick It Up?

Older pennies are also best for penny presses at amusement parks, zoos and other tourist attractions. Most people try and use a shiny new penny, but then the zince shows through when you run it through the press. Much better to gather some old copper pennies, clean them with lemon juice or vinegar and use those when you visit those places.

Just a quick tip: You can shine up a penny with a pencil eraser. Just erase the crud.

Nice to know I'm also not the only one! I'm always looking for money on my walks and the most I have found is a folded twenty.

Going through my receipts for this year's taxes, I found $55 in an envelope for a car insurance payment(from March)! Must have written then check and forgot to deposit the cash!

We save coins and cans to take grandkids on special days in the summer. We live close to Lexington and there are all kinds of 'day trips' within a 30 mile radius. We pack a picnic & blanket and they get a kick out of eating on the ground.

I will even go farther and pick up an aluminum can. The way I look at it is I am picking up litter and thats my reward for it. Since I am forced to recycle garbage anyway I might as well get the money for it.

I don't think I would bother picking up anything less than a $1 bill--depending on my financial situation at the time.

Today I picked up a penny on my walk. I guess that answers the question.

I pick up pennies because they can really add up.

Poor growing up and so I pick up any money on the ground. If it is dirty I'll clean it. It all adds up and it is better in my pocket than on ther ground!

Surely will PROUDLY stop and pick up any denomination from smallest coin to largest bill. I don't discriminate.
