Would you bend over to pick up a penny on the ground? Or maybe a nickel? (page 4)

Yeah LOL, I learnt hard lessons pretty early on, and only learned to enjoy myself later - shame isn't it.

although it would depend on who was standing behind me and how short my skirt was.

Me thinks I'll get lots of change and dump it on your path, while standing in back of you watching you pick it up.

It usually ends up in Kevan's birthday jar with all of his daily change. It amounts to $150 - 200 dollars a year Birthday money!

Brenda,
We use it for the smaller stocking gifts at Christmas. We usually get anywhere from $75 to $100. So it's more than enough for that. We both work in buildings where there's a soda vending machine, so it's usually only pennies and nickels in the jar.

I once worked with a lady who would NEVER pass any coin on the ground without picking it up. I asked her why, she told me that on every coin (in the US) it has the phrase "In God We Trust" written on it. She said that everytime she sees a coin on the ground, then she has to pick it up because she would never pass up an opportunity to show her trust in God. I don't know that I believe that, but I can say, I usually pick up any coin on the ground.

Sure, why not? A penny is a penny and after I get a hundred pennies I'll have a whole dollar bill and then the possibilities are endless......imagine all the things one could do with a dollar.

this is an amusing thread....

of course, i always pick up coins when i see them. it is even a subject of contemplation for me....i have often wondered just how much $ is laying on the ground of the earth at any given time....

anyway, some of my friends look at me crosseyed when i do this... i don't care. i have picked up mostly pennies, but on at least 2-3 occasions $5 bills. a couple of years ago i started to throw everything found into a bowl and now have around $14.

after watching the wayne dyer special on pbs on "the power of intention" i have now added a mantra every time i pick up even a penny: "thank you, Lord, for this symbol of abundance which constantly flows into my life."

it is a good, positive affirmation, and acknowledges the Provider of all things.

Would you bend over to pick up a penny on the ground? Or maybe a nickel?
