If you dropped a penny from the Empire State building, would it go through your hand if you tried to catch it?

no, it would hurt, but the air hitting it would not cause it to go that fast.

I usually go answer Tech questions, but this was too much to resist :)\n\nThis to me, depends on the quality of the money, if I see a shiny penny, I would pick it up, though I wouldnt get close to it if it was covered with gum, mud, etc, all depends on condition. \n\nAs for anything larger than a penny, I honestly dont care about the condition unless it was really disgusting, cigarette ash, gum, poop, none of that stuff and i'll take it :)\n\nFor bills, my eye that looks for cleaniness goes blind and I dont care what condition it is in, its money! In fact, I once picked up a McDonalds coupon good for a Big Mac half off with purchase of a Big Mac. Since it says "No actual cash value", I guess I picked up things that are worthless as well :)

Very doubtful. They will most likely arrest you when you go to get it.

If you find a $100 bill in the street do you pass it to the unemployed on the street that needs it more than you?

Find a penny pick it up all day you will have good luck\n\nThrowing salt over your left shoulder if you drop it\n\nBroken glass will give you 7 years of bad luck\n\nThis will be a fun question to get answers from.

No, but I would call the bank and see if they have the funds to cash it and if they do take it right then and get it cashed.

Throw it from the top of the Empire State building and it will drop.

Because of inertia, an object at rest will remain that way unless acted on by an outside force.  When you flicked the coin, only the coin that was hit was moved.  The others will fall in place.  Same trick as when a waiter yanks a tablecloth quickly, but the dishes stay in place on the table.

depends where if falls.

yes you would i beileve its neutons acceleration thing where it says something that weighs more has more interita therefore a elepant would have a tough time moving from side to side and would probably not catch you. its because its more diffucult to change its state of motion.

No, but I should do. It's one of those things you should always have, like a safety pin (apparently in case your knickers fall down) and a coin for the payphone.

When I see a penny heads down, I always like to flip it over and leave it there...that way when the next person comes along, it will be good luck for them.

Mythbusters did an episode about this. It is a myth. A penny's terminal velocity and mass is too small to kill a person.

I just took a dollar bill to the bank that I'd had for years. I always thought if you had more than half they'd exchange it. She said they want to see at least a couple of the serial numbers on the torn side. Which mine didn't have. She still exchanged it though. \n.

No, most modern vending machines have a one-way flap that lets the coin in but doesn't let it out. It's works something like a rotating human walk-through. Another method employed is to turn the coin by 90 degrees as soon as it enters so that if it is pulled back, it will not be able to come out from the very slot that it went in through. A better technique used extensively in Las Vegas is to keep a series of small Electronic Eyes through the length of the slot, like the human filters in metro stations.
