Will you pause to pick up a penny?

Figure 3,600 seconds in an hour: Most make less than 36$ an hour......that penny amounts to what our time is worth. 🤔

My wife has a knack for spotting currency on the ground, but she always makes me pick it up.

@JimboSaturn May I suggest that you sir, continue to feed her fancy.

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@Punxi Of course I do, no harm in picking up some coins.

Punxi · 26-30, F

@JimboSaturn Good man.

My kids pick up any coins we find/see for their piggy banks. They get so excited haha

Punxi · 26-30, F

@WaryWitchWandering Like finding treasure! 🙂

@WaryWitchWandering i used to pick up the coins from the wishing well at a restaurant, i thought "why are people just throwing away money?!" 🤣

@Punxi I try to remain as positive as I can be 😊

Oh and the sad reaction first off was my crazy emotions playing games again 😂🤣😂🤣

Punxi · 26-30, F

@GLITTER It's positivity like your that inspires me. Your consistency there of even more so. Truth. Plus I've come to adore such crazy emoji. 😅 Keeps me on Mah' toes. 😅

GLITTER · 36-40, F

Not since I was a kid. In all honesty, today I'd probably pass a quarter laying on the ground.

Punxi · 26-30, F

@Ontheroad A huge shiny quarter!!! ? 🧐

Ontheroad · M

@Punxi well maybe if it was laying there all shiny, but really, what can it buy you? Yeah, I know, if I pick up a few of them I'll have a dollar, but how often do you see a quarter laying on the ground... and what can a dollar buy?

Punxi · 26-30, F

@Ontheroad Intrinsically what you have purchased remains good fortune.

GLITTER · 36-40, F

Funny story actually - I once spent a good 2 minutes trying to pick up 20p from the floor until i realised some bastard had glued it to the floor 🥲😂🤣

@Punxi this will blow your mind both 1$ &2$ are coins

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@Punxi They were phased out. Everything is rounded now to 5 cents/

Punxi · 26-30, F

@JimboSaturn Makes... sense....really. Perhaps won't be long till the US might follow suit.

chrisCA · M

We don't have the penny anymore as part of our currency. They are rare now.

Punxi · 26-30, F

@chrisCA Interesting...2nd to say so. Pennies have a special place in my heart as I can't fathom their absence.

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

My granddaughter always beats me to them

Punxi · 26-30, F

@Justmeraeagain Smart...and quick girl. 🙂

Haha, actually yesterday I was at the store opened my car door looked down saw a penny..and I picked it up..of course ..that scene from Grease came to mind and I said while picking it up..

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

Punxi · 26-30, F

@Bexsy I for one wish that penny to be of the "All year long" variety. ( They are out there ya know) 🤭

SW-User

Yes sometimes I will. When very young I used to pitch pennies with older boys in the projects I grew up in. it was fun I miss that..

Punxi · 26-30, F

@SW-User Very cool! Against a wall ,no?

SW-User

@Punxi yes there was a certain wall on the side of the office building that we played against a long cement step maybe where the pennies could land better. So very long ago hard to remember..
